Changer. (e.g:

respond to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on
discs.
A “
” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It
means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Changer or
the disc.

Precautions
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and
the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth
in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,
and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean
cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.
9. Notes on Handling
• When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit
as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with
the DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
• The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD
Changer occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down,
the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the
outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on
the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the DVD Changer.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
• Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD
Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
