• 80-mm discs are not supported.
• Do not use discs that have lens cleaner, CD/DVD labels or stickers, or condensation on
them. Doing so may result in an malfunction or failure.
• Do not use a cracked, warped, or deformed disc. The disc may break into pieces inside
the product, resulting in a malfunction, or an injury when the disc is taken out.

Be sufficiently careful when handling discs.
• Depending on the discs used, writing may not be able to be performed properly at the

we recommend writing to DVD±R DL at a slow speed.
