1. PRECAUTIONS
 Installation and handling precautions
(1) Opening the transport lock
•Make sure that the transport lock is released and all trans-
port protective materials are removed before turning on the
power. Failure to do so will result in equipment malfunction.
(2) Location of installation
•Do not install the equipment near a source of vibration such
as motor, engine or loudspeaker. They may adversely af-
fect the equipment performance.
•Do not install the equipment in a place that is exposed to
radiation, X-rays or corrosive gases.This may cause a mal-
function or failure of the equipment.
•If the equipment is to have a fixed installation, we advise
you to give sufficient allowance for space so that extension
and replacement of optional units and other operations such
as replacement and maintenance can be easily performed.
For details, please consult your dealer or nearest JVC-au-
thorized service agent.
•This equipment must be installed on a level surface that is
subject to minimal vibration
(3) Condensation
•If the equipment which has been left in a cold room for a
long period of time and is moved to a warm room or if the
temperature of the room suddenly increases, condensation
may occur on a mobile part, optical pickup or a disc inside
the equipment with a disabling effect. If this occurs, do not
use the equipment for a few hours before starting it again.
(4) Interference with reception of other devices
•When this equipment is used near a radio receiver such as
a radio, television or BS tuner, reception of radio waves on
these these devices may experience interference.
(5) Use in a strong radio wave environment
The equipment may not function properly if it is used in a
strong radio wave environment, for example near an illegal
radio station or a broadcasting station. If this happens, please
consult your dealer or nearest JVC-authorized service agent.
(6) Compatible media
Media compatible with the MC-8200U/8600U varies depend-
ing on the drive in which it is accommodated. For details,
refer to the instruction manual of the relevant drive.
 Disc handling precautions
A disc is made of plastic material which can be easily dam-
aged. If the discs are damaged or become dirty, it may lead to
malfunction such as incorrect data readout.To prevent this han-
dle the discs with care so that they will stay free of damage,
stain, dust/dirt adhesion, warping, etc.
(1) Do not touch the reflective surface (data surface) of a
disc directly with your hand. Be sure to use special
care when handling double-sided discs.
(2) Use commercially available cleaning kits such as a CD
cleaner to remove dust and/or dirt from the disc sur-
face.
•Gently wipe-clean the disc surface without scratching it.
(Make sure to wipe from the centre of the disc towards the
outer edge. Never use a circular motion.)
(3) Do not use chemicals for disc cleaning.
•Never use any solvents other than those included in the
cleaning kits.
•Never use analogue record cleaning fluid, benzene, alcohol
or anti-static agent.
(4) Do not damage the label surface
•Damage to the label surface also affects the data surface
immediately underneath it.
•Do not attach pieces of paper or adhesive tape to either
side of the disc.
•When you need to write on the label surface, please use a
permanent ink felt-tip pen.
Writing implements with hard tips such as ball-point pens
and pencils should not be used as they will damage the
surface.
(5) Periodical cleaning of the discs is recommended.
•Periodical disc cleaning may be required depending on the
equipment installation environment and disc handling
method.
(7) Installation environment
•This equipment has been designed with consideration for
dust protection, but its structure is not dust-proof. There-
fore, if it is used in an environment where cigarette smoke
and/or dust are present, the lens of the drive or a disc will
become dirty and stop functioning correctly. Using the equip-
ment in these conditions should be avoided. If, however, you
have to use it in a dusty environment, make sure to carry
out ‘maintenance & regular inspection’ at an earlier interval.
•If the equipment is used outside of the suitable temperature
and humidity range, the drive life may become greatly short-
ened. Please make sure to use the equipment in an appro-
priate environment.
(8) Backup
•JVC cannot accept responsibility for any loss of data and/or
any other direct and indirect damage caused by the use or
malfunctioning of this equipment. We therefore strongly ad-
vise that all important data should be fully backed up in case
of unexpected loss.
•When this equipment is used with a system which runs con-
tinually for 24 hours or which cannot be turned off at all, we
recommend a redundancy design such as [a] back-up sys-
tem on the system.
(9) Never take the equipment apart.
•Fire and electric shock may result. Do not try to take apart
or modify this equipment or the drive units inside.
(10) Cleaning
•Do not use solvents (paint thinner, benzene, etc.), cleaning
products containing abrasives, anti-static agent, cloth soaked
in detergent and silicon cloth. They can cause discolora-
tion.
•Wipe-clean using a well-squeezed cloth which has been
soaked in a neutral detergent.
(11) Do not place anything on the top panel.
•Do not place any objects on or step onto the top panel of
this equipment as a malfunction or accident may result.

6-1. Disc loading
Disc loading/ejection method
When a tray is transported to the mail slot under the con-
trol of the host computer or the import/export operation
(aP. E20), the mail slot opens automatically when trans-
portation has been completed.
1. Place a disc gently on the tray with a label surface fac-
ing upwards.
(To remove a disc from the tray, hold the disc by the
center hole and the outer edge which is accessible near
the notched section on the front side of the tray.)
CAUTION
•Never use a damaged and/or warped disc or a disc with an attached label. It will lead to a malfunction of the equipment.
•If you are going to use a disc from a different drive, please check the drive specifications carefully before using it.
(Some drives may not be able to read the disc.)
(At the same time, the equipment may not be able to read the disc which has been written and deleted in a different drive.)
•Note that some double-sided discs do not provide a distinction between the top and bottom sides. Take special care
when removing/loading these discs from/in the MC-8200LU/8600LU.
•In order to prevent a malfunction or failure, do not place two or more discs on a single tray.
CAUTION
•ADVD-RAM disc may become impossible to write/read
due to dust, fingerprints, scratches, etc. adhering to
the disc surface. Please handle it carefully.
Take special care in handling the DVD-RAM/R discs
because they are extremely vulnerable to scratches
and contamination.
2. Press the LOAD/EJECT key.
(The mail slot closes.)
•Now you can repeat the open/close operations alternately
by pressing the LOAD/EJECT key provided that the mail
slot transportation operation has not started yet.
• While the carrier is in operation, pressing the LOAD/
EJECT key will not start the open/close operations.
Label surface
(With a single-sided disc)
CAUTION
Media compatible with the MC-8200LU/8600LU varies
depending on the installed drive types. For details, refer
to the instruction manuals of the drives.
When using double-sided discs, handle them with spe-
cial care because they do not have a label on the surface.
