When “SD” is  ashing or when copying a picture or displaying the Album in the SD card, do not turn off the unit or remove the SD card.
Such action may result in malfunction or loss of the card’s contents.
Holding a disc or cardHandle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting 
oil from your  ngers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of 
discs (the shiny side) or the terminal surface (the metal part) of SD 
cards.
Cleaning discsDiscs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation 
may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a 
straight line from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases and SD cards to their cartridges when not 
in use; this helps to protect against scratches and dirt.
Storing discs and cardsDo not place or store discs and cards in the following locations:
–  Direct sunlight
–  Very dusty or humid areas
–  Near a heat source
–  Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature (condensation 
can occur)
–  Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent 
swallowing.
Discs to avoid
Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape
Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit, causing 
improper operation or damage to the unit
Cracked discs
Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or labels, such 
as may occur with rental discs or improperly cared-for discs that were 
previously labeled or re-labeled)

Video cassettesBreak off the video cassette’s tab to 
prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole 
with a double layer of adhesive tape when 
you want to use the video cassette for 
recording again. 
You can use video cassettes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but the 
unit is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS video 
cassettes.Video cassette carePoor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to 
become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully 
and discard them when they become dirty or damaged. 
Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those 
that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads 
to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
