from their cartridge, 2.6-GB and 5.2-GB DVD-RAM, and
“Chaoji VCD” available on the market including CVD,
DVCD and SVCD that do not conform to IEC62107.

Regarding DVD-Audio

Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing
(

➜

page 19, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this
is the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs,
or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected
speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification,
audio will not be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is
missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected and audio
is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket for
more information.

∫ Handling precautions

≥ Do not attach labels or stickers to discs (This may

cause disc warping, rendering it unusable).

≥ Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or

other writing instrument.

≥ Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner,

static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥ Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥ Do not use the following discs:

– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers

or labels (rented discs etc.).
– Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.

∫ Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth

≥

Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

≥ Before using chemically treated cloth, read the

instructions that came with the cloth carefully.

≥ Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary

although this depends on the operating environment.

≥ Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as

they may cause malfunction.

∫ Clean discs

Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
