Handling and Caring for Discs
• Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc with
your ngers at the edges or through the hole.
• Insert the disc with the label facing up (for a
single-sided disc).
• Place the disc properly into the tray in the allot-
ted holder.
• Use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, al-
ways wiping from the centre to the edge.
• Always put discs back in their cases after use
and store in a vertical position.
• Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with
a disc not sitting correctly in the holder.
• Do not play cracked, chipped or warped discs
nor try to repair them with adhesive tape or
glue.
• Do not write on a disc.
• Do not move the unit when a disc is being
played.
• Do not scratch discs or store them in places ex-

• Do not use aerosol cleaners, benzene, anti-stat-

(water only) cloth from the centre to the edge,
avoiding circular motions, which could cause
scratches and interference during playback.
Compatible Formats
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform
with BD, DVD or CD standards. This unit may not
play some recordings or fi les due to differences in
recording formats, software used and disc types.
BD-ROM
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) are
commercially produced discs and are available

conventional movie and video contents, these discs
have enhanced features such as interactive content,

a BD-ROM may contain any form of data, most BD
ROM discs will contain movies in High De nition
