tendedforanalogdiscs.Sincetheopticalunit(laser)
oftheDVDsystemoperatesatahigherpowerthan
regularDVDorCDplayers,cleaningCDsintended
forDVDorCDplayersmaydamagetheopticalunit
 (laser).Therefore,refrainfromusingacleaningCD.
Moisture Condensation
 MoisturecondensationdamagestheDVDvideo
