Maintenance
CLEANING THE UNIT
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use solutions containing
alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.
CLEANING DISCS
If a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre 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.
DISC HANDLING
Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not
adhere to the disc surfaces.
Always store the disc in its protective case when it is
not in use.
SERVICING
If the unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct
the problem by yourself. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Turn the unit off, unplug the
mains cable, and consult your dealer or an authorised
service centre.
CLEANING THE DISC LENS
If the unit does not perform correctly even though you
have referred to “Troubleshooting” and the relevant
sections in the Owner’s Manual, the laser optical
pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an
authorised service centre for inspection and cleaning
of the laser optical pickup unit.
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 programme 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 consult your dealer or an
authorised service centre.
Note:
• Remember to read the instructions along with the
video head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
