In case of picture problems with 525 or 625 progressive scan output, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output.

If There Is Noise Interference on the TV While a Broadcast Is Being Received

Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference may appear on the TV monitor while you watch a TV broadcast and the unit is left on. This is not a malfunction of the unit or the TV. To watch a TV broadcast, turn off the unit.

Maintenance

SERVICING

1.Please refer to relevant topics in the “Troubleshooting” on page 91 before returning the product.

2.Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection.

3.Be sure the service technician uses authorised replacement parts or their equivalents. Unauthorised parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

4.Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs safety checks to certify that this unit is in safe operating order.

CLEANING THE CABINET

•Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

CLEANING DISCS

•When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

•Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

RECOMMENDED MEASURES FOR OPTIMUM PICTURE EXCELLENCE

This unit is a precision device constructed using extremely accurate technology.

•The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.

•If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to “Troubleshooting” on

page 91, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio will be played back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the Player should be serviced (cleaned and replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the unit is used. Contact your authorised SHARP supplier for details.

DISC HANDLING

•When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to touch the surface of the disc.

•Always store a disc in its protective case when it is not used.

AUTO HEAD CLEANING

•Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

•Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV programme reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on

the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in your unit may need to be cleaned.

1.Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.

2.If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please consult your dealer or an authorized service centre.

Note

•Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.

•Clean video heads only when problems occur.
