Maintenance
SERVICING
• Please refer to relevant topics on the
“Troubleshooting” on pages 103 to 107 before
returning the unit.
• If this 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 CABINET
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing
alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.
• HDD is a precision apparatus that is susceptible to
vibration, strong impact or dirt.
Depending on the installation environment or
handling, the unit may become partially damaged or
in the worst case, recording or replaying may not be
available. Especially while the HDD is in motion, do
not subject it to vibration or strong impact or pull out
the power plug. And if a power failure occurs, the
content of the recording / replaying programme may
be lost.
• HDD rotates at high speed when in operation. Be
sure that rotation has stopped and then move the
unit without subjecting it to strong impact or
vibration.
• When 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.
• If this unit still does not perform properly although
you refer to the relevant sections and to
“Troubleshooting” in this 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.
• 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.
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or
remove a videotape, so that 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
extended 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.
