Maintenance

SERVICING

•  Please refer to relevant topics on the “Troubleshooting” 

on page 27 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 off, unplug the power plug, and please call 
our help line 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, commer-

cially available 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” 
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 a disc in its protective case when it is not 

used.

AUTO HEAD CLEANING

•  Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove 

a cassette tape, so you can see a clear picture.

•  Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted 

while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumu-
lated on the video heads after a long period of use, or 
the usage of rental or worn cassette 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 toll free customer support line found on 
the cover of this manual to locate an authorized service 
center.

Note:

• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner 

before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
