PRECAUTIONS

Maintenance

Servicing

Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING” on
page 43 before returning the product.
If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the
problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug, and please call our
toll free customer support line found on the cover of this
manual to locate an authorized service center.

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to clean
the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the unit. Such
chemicals may discolor the surface or damage the unit.

Cleaning discs

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not wipe
in a circular motion.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or
antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Cleaning the disc lens

If this unit still does not perform properly although you
refer to the relevant sections and to “TROUBLESHOOTING”
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.

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.
Note that discs with special shapes (heart-shaped discs,
octagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played back on this unit.
Do not attempt to playback such discs, as they may
damage the unit.

IR signal check

If the remote control is not working properly, you can
use an AM radio or digital camera (including a cellular
phone with built-in camera) to see if it is sending out an
infrared signal.
With an AM radio:
Tune the AM radio station to a non-
broadcasting frequency. Point the
remote control towards it, push any
button and listen. If the sound from
the radio flutters, it is receiving the
remote control’s infrared signal.

With a digital camera
(including built-in cell
phone cameras):
Point a digital camera towards the remote
control. Push any button on the remote
control and look through the digital
camera. If the infrared light appears
through the camera, the remote control is
working.
