Maintenance

Cabinet Cleaning

• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the

unit with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and

wrung dry.

• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide

liquid near the unit. Such chemicals may cause damage

and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

Panel Cleaning

Wipe the panel of the unit with a soft cloth. Before

cleaning the panel, disconnect the AC power cord.

Disc Handling

Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not

adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not

used.

• To clean-off, use a soft cloth.

• Do not use a hard cloth since this will mar the disc.

• Wipe the disc in a straight line form center to edge.

• Never wipe with a circular motion.

• Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.

Servicing

Should your unit become inoperative, do not try to correct

the problem yourself. There are no user serviceable parts

inside. Turn off the unit, unplug the AC power cord and call

our toll free customer support line found on the cover of

this manual to locate an authorized service center.

If the Laser Optical Pickup Unit is Dirty

If the unit still does not perform properly when it is

operated, while referring to the relevant sections and to

"Troubleshooting Guide" in this user manual, the laser

optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an

Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of

the laser optical pickup unit.

IR Signal Check

If the remote control is not working properly, you can use

a digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in

camera) to see if it is sending out an infrared signal.

• With a digital camera

(including built-in cell phone cameras):

Point the Digital Camera towards the

remote control infrared diode at the front

of the remote control. Press any button on

the remote control and look through the

camera display. If the infrared pulsating

light appears through the camera, the

remote control is sending out an IR signal.
