Mini DVDDisc
The recording surface of DVD discs is
extremely delicate. If handled or stored
in an incorrect manner, the camcorder
may stop recognizing or may not be
able to play back the disc. Be sure to
observe the following precautions when
storing/handling your discs.
• Always remove the disc from the
camcorder after you finish
recording.
Do not store the camcorder with a
disc left inside.
• Do not bend, scratch or wet the disc
and do not subject it to strong
shocks.
• Do not attach any labels or stickers
on the disc surfaces. The disc may
not rotate in a stable manner and this
may cause malfunctions.
• Keep the disc clean of dust, dir_ 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, dir_ buildup or smudges
from the disc surface. Clean the disc
in a radial motion from its center
outwards.
• Never use a chemically treated cloth
or flammable solvents such as paint
thinner to clean the disc.
• To protect the disc, return it to its
case for storage.
• When writing on the label side of the
disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use
waterproof soft-tipped felt pens
instead.
• 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.
• Never expose the disc to direct
sunlight and do not store it in places
subject to high temperatures or high
humidity.
• Always finalize a disc before inserting
it into an external DVD device. Failing
to do so can result in the loss of the
recorded data.
