Servicing

unplug the 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
owner’s 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 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. •
