To clean the MDJ-1000V2, use only a dry soft cloth and/or
compressed air. If the unit is soiled with stubborn dirt, we suggest
using a 2:1 solution of distilled water and 30% isopropyl alcohol.
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals such as benzene, paint
thinner, bleach, or hydrochloric acid, which will damage the unit
For optimum performance, the temperature of the operating
environment should be b5º C to +35º C (+41º F - +95º
F). Failure to maintain proper operating temperature may result
in difficulty reading the display, thermal overload, or system
wide instability. Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight.
When placing the unit in an installation, make sure that it is
placed on a stable surface, as far away from vibrations as
possible. Even though the unit is impervious to vibration, the
storage devices (specifically hard drive based devices) that
are designed to be used in conjunction with it are typically not.
Also be sure not to place or use the player on heat generating
sources, such as amplifiers or near spotlights.
