3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS
Discs
O nly the discs including the m arks show n on page 8 can be
played on the D VD -3910.
N ote, how ever, that discs w ith special shapes (heart-shaped discs,
hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played on the D VD -3910. D o not
attem pt to play such discs, as they m ay dam age the player.
Cautions on Handling Discs
D o not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.
B e especially careful not to scratch discs w hen rem oving them
from their cases.
D o not bend discs.
D o not heat discs.
D o not enlarge the center hole.
D o not w rite on the labeled (printed) side w ith a ball-point pen
or a pencil.
W ater droplets m ay form on the surface if the disc is m oved
suddenly from a cold place to a w arm one. D o not use a
hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.
Cautions on Storing Discs
A lw ays eject discs after playing them .
Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust, scratches
and w arping.
D o not put discs in the follow ing places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of tim e
2. H um id or dusty places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.
Cautions on Loading Discs
O nly load one disc at a tim e. Loading one disc on top of another
m ay result in dam age or scratch the discs.
Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, w ithout using an
adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded, it m ay slip out of the
guide and block the disc tray.
B e careful not to let your fingers get caught w hen the disc tray
is closing.
D o not place anything but discs in the disc tray.
D o not load cracked or w arped discs or discs that have been
fixed w ith adhesive, etc.
D o not use discs on w hich the adhesive part of cellophane tape
or glue used to attach the label is exposed, or discs w ith traces
of tape or labels that have been peeled off. Such discs m ay get
stuck inside the player, resulting in dam age.
Holding Discs
Avoid touching the surface of discs w hen loading and unloading
them .
Cleaning Discs
2 Fingerprints or dirt on the disc m ay low er sound and picture
quality or cause breaks in playback. W ipe off fingerprints or dirt.
2 U se a com m ercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to
w ipe off fingerprints or dirt.
B e careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
surface (the side w hich
shines in rainbow colors).
W ipe gently from the m iddle
outw ards.
D o not w ipe w ith a circular
m otion.
NOTE:
D o not use record spray or antistatic. A lso do not use
volatile chem icals such as benzene or thinner.

To prevent dam age or battery fluid leakage:
D o not use a new battery w ith an old one.
D o not use tw o different types of batteries.
D o not short-circuit, disassem ble, heat or dispose of
batteries in flam es.
R em ove the batteries w hen not planning to use the
rem ote control unit for a long period of tim e.
If the batteries should leak, carefully w ipe off the fluid
from the inside of the battery com partm ent, then insert
new batteries.
(2) Using the Remote Control Unit
W hen operating the rem ote control unit, point it at the
rem ote control sensor as show n on the diagram .
The rem ote control unit can be used from a direct
distance of approxim ately 7 m eters. This distance w ill
be shorter, how ever, if there are obstacles in the w ay
