MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the player

•Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe off dust and dirt ac cumulated on VP-1000. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy dirt.

•Never use paint-thinner, benzene, or other solvents. They react with the surface and cause color changes and melting.

Laser disc Care

•Laser discs are made of hard plastic . Use a commercial phonograph record cleaner or soft cloth to lightly wipe

off dust and dirt.

•Finger prints and dust on the laser disc do not affect the recorded signal. However, excessive dirt may interfere with reproduced picture quality, so it is a good idea to keep the laser discs clean .

•Therefore, it is best to handle laser discs by the outer edges and center hole only, just as you would do with ordinary phonograph records.

•Always replace discs in their jackets after use. To pre vent warping, keep discs away from high temperature and humidity.
