Before Use
■Handling precautions for DVD-ROM discs
•Handle DVD-ROM discs carefully. Any DVD-ROM disc with exces-
sive warping or scratches on its surface can cause reading errors.
•Store DVD-ROM discs away from direct sunlight, which can cause
warping and render them unusable.
•DVD-ROM discs rotate at high speeds inside the system's main
unit. Never use a cracked or badly warped disc; doing so could
damage the unit.
•To clean a DVD-ROM disc, lightly wipe it with a soft cloth in
straight lines from the center hole toward the outer edge.
•Never clean DVD-ROM discs with benzene, thinner, record spray,
antistatic spray, or chemical swabs.
•Do not touch the DVD-ROM disc's data surface (the surface with-
out a printed label). A dirty data surface can cause reading errors.
Always hold a DVD-ROM disc by the center hole and at one point
on the outer edge, or by two points on the outer edge.
•Do not write anything on DVD-ROM discs or affix anything, such
as stickers, to them.
