Notes on handling

3When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

3Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products to contact the unit for prolonged period. They will leave marks on the finish.

3The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

3When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

3If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit occasionally.

Notes on locating

3Place the unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined stand. The loaded disc may become dis- aligned and damage the unit.

3When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.

Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the unit. If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

To obtain a clear picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will deteriorate. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
