[. . . ] When picking up or holding blank media you can either place your fingers along the outer edge of the disc, or place one finger through the center hole and one finger on the outer edge. Once you have finished creating a disc, label it by writing on the top using permanent ink. CAUTION: We recommend using a "non-toxic" marker, such as a Sharpie pen, that conforms to the ASTM D-4236 standard. Some permanent markers will damage the media. Also, do not press too hard when writing on the disc. PX-755SA Installation and Users Manual 21 Section 3. Using Your PX-755SA NOTE: We do not recommend placing self-sticking CD-R labels on the disc. The weight of the label may unbalance the disc and cause write errors during recording or read errors during reading. Also, attempting to remove the label may permanently damage the disc. Cleaning Discs For proper read and write performance, your discs must be clean. Trying to record on a dirty disc may result in a failed session and ruin the disc. To clean the disc, wipe the disc using a clean, soft cotton cloth to remove surface dirt such as fingerprints. Use a straight-line motion, wiping from the center out. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion. Figure 11: Wipe the disc from the center outward HINT: Keep your frequently used discs in jewel cases at all times to prevent them from becoming dirty or damaged. 22 PX-755SA Installation and Users Manual Section 3. Using Your PX-755SA Mounting Position You can operate your PX-755SA drive in either a horizontal or a vertical position. Playing DVDs To play a digital video disc, insert the DVD as you would any other disc. The drive plays both single layer and double layer discs. The first time: A code on each DVD allows it to be played only on players designed for a certain regional area, such as North America, Europe, etc. When the drive ships from the factory there is no region code set. The first time a DVD that has a region setting is inserted into the drive, the drive is automatically set to that region code. If you later insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted to either accept changing the new region code or not. If you don't accept the change, then that DVD will not play. If you do accept the change, then the region code setting is changed. But remember: you can change the drive's region code only 5 times. After that, you can't change it any more. Writing to DVD Media You need special software that supports writing to DVD+R, DVD+R DL, and DVD+RW discs; or to DVD-R DL, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. Specifying +R/RW or -R/RW You don't need to specify whether to write to +R/RW or -R/RW. The selection is automatically made for you, based on the media you insert in the drive.
