5 Precautions (cont’d)
Maintenance
SERVICING
• Please refer to relevant topics on Troubleshooting on pages 96-99 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 help line mentioned on the front page to locate an
Authorized Service Center.
CLEANING THE CABINET
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasive.
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 analogue 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.
AUTO HEAD CLEANING
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on
the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If a streaky
or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in the unit may need to be cleaned.
1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.
2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please call our help line mentioned on the front page to locate
an Authorized Service Center.
NOTES:
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
