84 Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Recorder
•
Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the Recorder with a soft, slightly
damp cloth.
• Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene, or alcohol to clean the Recorder. Do not spray
insecticide liquid near the Recorder. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or damage
the Recorder.
Cleaning Discs
•
When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.Wipe the Disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular motion.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-stat-
ic spray intended for analog discs.
• Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
Checking the Laser or Lens
•
If the Recorder does not operate as described in this manual, the Recorder’s laser may
be dirty. Consult an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser.
• The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the Recorder from cold to warm sur-
roundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour
with no Disc in the Recorder until normal playback is possible.
Caring for Video Cassettes
•
Use only cassettes with the mark.
• Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette before putting the cas-
sette in the VCR. Removable labels can jam the VCR.
Caring for the VCR’s Video Heads
•
Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your Recorder’s excellent performance.The
VCR has an Automatic Head Cleaner. However, the video heads will require replacement
eventually. Only an authorized service center should perform this service.
