Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter- gent and water. Dry the unit immediately after- wards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical sol- vents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

•If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environ- ment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.

10. Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation may damage this unit.

Read the following carefully:

When you take a glass containing a cold drink out- side on a summer’s day, drops of water, called con- densation, form on the outside of the glass.

Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this unit.

—A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air conditioner is hitting the unit.

—In the summer, when this unit is moved from an air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.

—The unit is used in a humid place.

•Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may damage your discs and certain parts inside this unit.

If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time, the unit will have warmed up and any condensation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall outlet.
