CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HANDLING THE UNITS

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy

.

For maximum protection, re-pack the units as it was originally

 

packed at the factory .

 

 

When setting the unit

 

 

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR or radio may be

 

distorted during DVD playback. In this case, position the unit away

 

from the TV, radio or VCR.

 

 

To keep the surface clean

 

 

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray

, near the

units. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the units for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. W ipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, thinner

,

commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for

 

analog records.

 

HANDLING DISCS

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

CLEANING THE UNITS

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty

, use a

soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not

use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzene or thinner

, as these

might damage the surface of the units.

 

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor .

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

For details, please contact your Aiwa dealer .

STORING DISCS
