don’t play properly, this is more likely to be caused by damage or dirt on the disc
rather than any fault of the unit.
CARE OF DISCS
DVD discs are fragile. Treat them with care. Always store them upright in their
packing; away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.
When handling discs, hold the disc’s outer edge and/or the centre spindle hole. Do
not touch the disc surface. Never bend or ex a disc.
Clean the disc surface with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe the disc surface gently, radially,
from centre toward the outer edge. Never apply solvents to the surface of a disc.
