recording surface
of
DVD discs is extremely delicate. Be sure to observe the
following precautions when handling your discs.
o Keep the disc clean
of
dust, dirt or smudges. Even very small smudges or particles
of
dust can lead
to
problems when recording
or
playing back the disc. Carefully inspect the
recording surface of the disc before inserting it
in
the camcorder. If the disc gets dirty
use a
dry,
soft lens-cleaning cloth to remove any fingerprints, dirt buildup or smudges
from the disc surface. Clean the disc
in
a radial motion from its center outwards.
o Never use a chemically treated cloth or flammable solvents such as paint thinner to
clean the disc.
o Do not bend, scratch or wet the disc and do not subject it
to
strong shocks.
o Do not attach labels or stickers
on
the disc surfaces. The disc may not rotate
in
a stable
manner and this may cause malfunctions.
o Return discs to their case for storage.
o When writing
on
the label side
of
the disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use waterproof soft-
tipped felt pens instead.
o Moving a disc rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation to
form
on
its surfaces. If condensation forms on the disc, put it aside until the water
droplets have evaporated completely.
o Never expose the disc to direct sunlight and do not store it
in
places subject
to
high
temperatures
or
high humidity.
o Make sure to finalize a disc before inserting it
in
a DVD player, DVD recorder
or
a
computer's DVD drive. Failing to do so can result
in
the loss
of
the recorded data.
