Cleaning the System

•Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the System with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

•Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene, or alcohol to clean the System. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the System. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or damage the System.

Cleaning a Disc

•Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the Disc.

• Wipe the Disc in a straight line from the center to the edge. Never wipe the Disc in a circular motion.

•Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.

•Handle the Discs so fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the Discs.

•Always store the Disc in its protective case when it is not in use.

Checking the Laser

•If the System does not operate as described in this manual, the DVD Player’s laser may be dirty. Consult an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser.

Caring for Video Cassettes

•Use only cassettes with the mark.
