Disk Handling Care
Do not use deformed, warped, or irregularly shaped disks.
Reading of disk may not be possible depending on the disk conditions (cracks, dirt,
modifi cation, data recording quality, copy protection, recording equipment/software that
was used to create the disk, etc.)
Before using a disk, carefully read the operating/handling instructions and package of
the disk.
If the disks are not handled appropriately, they may become dirty or scratched. Further-
more the writing speed may get slower and the data may not be correctly written on or
read from the disk. Other damage may cause a drive failure.
Note the following precautions.
• Do not touch the disk surface (the side with no printing).
• Keep the disk surface clean and free from dirt, dust, fi ngerprints and scratches.
• Do not write on the surface of the disk with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.
• Do not attach stickers to disks.
• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of disks.
• Do not place or store disks in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or
dust.
• If a disk is brought from a cold to a warm location, condensation may form on the
disk. For read-only disks, wipe off the condensation using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth be-
fore using the disk. For recordable/rewritable disks, wait until the condensation dries.
•When not using disks, keep them in their protective cases or cartridges.
To clean disks
<For read-only disks>
Wipe disks with a dry, soft cloth from
the center toward the edge.
If disks get very dirty, wipe with a
moist, soft cloth from the center toward the edge, then wipe again with a dry cloth to
take up remaining moisture.
<For recordable/rewritable disks>
Use the Panasonic disk cleaner to clean these disks.
Do not use a cloth, CD cleaners or any other such cleaners under any circumstances.
