Maintenance
SERVICING
• Please refer to relevant topics on the “Troubleshooting
Guide” on page 2 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 circu-
lar motion.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially avail-
able 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 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.
DISC HANDLING
• When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to
touch the surface of the disc.
• 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 your
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.
Hint
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
