DVD VIDEO Marks Placing A Disc

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

●Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.

●Use the button to open and close the disc tray.

●Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.

●Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc on the disc tray.

●Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

Discs without cartridges

Disc tray

Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges

Double-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with ASide AB facing down, programs are recorded on the side A.

Single-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.

DISC INFORMATION EN 11

Care And Handling Of Discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.

Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be

picked up correctly, and such a

disc may cause the unit to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface.

Recording side

Make sure that discs are not scratched or dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirty when removed from cartridge then put back in after use.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION:

Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

Life Span Of Parts

Cooling fan

Periodical inspection and maintenance are requisite to maintain the initial performance and reliability of the product.

We recommend the exchange of the fan motor every three years.

HDD

The HDD is a consumable part. Please arrange for maintenance after an estimated usage of 10,000 hours (this estimation is based on usage under the environment of 25f, it may differ depending on the usage environment).

Please consult your authorized dealer or nearest JVC service center on the maintenance and cost.
