ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave
fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc
by its edge or by the center hole and edge.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that
a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged,
don’t risk using it in your player-you could end up damaging
the unit.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.
Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc.
Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still
result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc.,
clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the
center tothe outside edge as shown in the diagram below.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially
available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more
thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning
agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl
records, you should still take care to handle and store discs
correctly. When you’re not using a disc, return it to its case and
storeupright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid,
or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).
Don’t glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil,
ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These
could all damage the disc.
For more detailed care information see the instructions that
comewith discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player.
Wipe lightly from the
center of the disc using
straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc
surface using circular
strokes.
This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular
discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this
product.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal
use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to
dust or dirt, consult your nearest MARANTZ-authorized
service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are
commercially available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought
into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the
room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t
damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance.
For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the
warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on
and using.
