Handle discs only by the outer and inner edges. Never write with a ballpoint on the surface of the disc. Do not store a disc in places with high temperature and humidity. Do not place the disc under direct sunlight. Store discs in their cases to prevent dust contamination, scratches, bending and other damages. When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out. Do not use solvents, such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static fluids. Using fluids of these types may damage the disc. Blank discs are available separately through your dealer or other sources. To get the best operating environment for your drive, you should close your PC after installing the drive. In this way the central fan will help cool your drive and keep performance according to specifications. Unloading a disc after recording might take some time, because the drive has to update the TOC before the disc can be ejected. · · · V.
