■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (laser pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
Maintenance
■ Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.
- Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.
- Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
■ Care of DVD/CD discs
DVD/CD discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your DVD/CD collection and player.
- Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
- Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
- Always hold the DVD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.
