Disc Compatibility and Handling
Discs You can Use
Your DVD Changer can play back the following discs:
• You cannot play back discs other than those listed
above.
• You cannot play back discs such as CD-R, CD-RW,
CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, etc., even though they
may be labelled with one of the above logos.
• This DVD Changer uses the NTSC color system, and
cannot play back DVD videos recorded in any other
color system (PAL, SECAM, etc.).
• Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing
irregularly shaped discs may damage the DVD
Changer’s internal mechanism.
• Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive
tape, rental discs that have peeling labels, or discs
that have custom labels or stickers. Otherwise, you
may not be able to eject the discs, or the DVD
Changer may become inoperative.
Handling Discs
• Never touch the playback side (the “blank” side) of
the disc.
• Never attach paper or tape to discs.
Cleaning Discs
• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause a deteriora-
tion of the picture and sound quality. Wipe the disc
from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always
keep the discs clean.
• Stubborn dust or dirt can be removed by wiping the
disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and
finishing with a dry cloth.
• Never use solvents such as thinner, benzine, commer-
cially available cleaners, or antistatic spray for vinyl
LPs. They may damage the disc.
Storing Discs
• Do not store discs in places subject to direct sunlight
or near heat sources.
• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and
dust, such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in their case. Stacking or placing
objects on unprotected discs may cause warping
and scratches.
