Cleaning

When cleaning the DVD player bear in mind that the front of the DVD player is plastic, and the display panel and lid are glass.

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the DVD

player.

To clean the case, display panel, and keypad

●Use a slightly damp cloth.

Ensure that no water is allowed to get inside the case, and do not reconnect the power until you are certain that the DVD player is completely dry.

To clean the audio and video connections

The audio and video sockets on the back of the DVD player are gold-plated and need no cleaning if gold-plated phono plugs are used. Otherwise, it is recommended that you unplug and

reconnect the plugs at least once a year. A proprietary contact cleaner can be used to some advantage.

The electrical digital output should be treated in a similar way.

Fuse

Spare

●Remove the mains connector, and pull out the drawer next to the power input to access the fuses.

Before replacing a blown fuse, it is best to ascertain the cause of the failure.

The fuse drawer includes a spare fuse. This should be replaced by a fuse of the same rating.
