MAINTENANCE

To clean the pickup lens

If the lens becomes dirty, the player will skip or not play. If this occurs, clean the lens in the following manner.

•To remove dust or dry particles, first use a camera lens blower/brush to blow a few times to loosen particles, then gently brush the lens clean. Finish by blowing the lens again.

•To remove fingerprints, use a cotton swab dipped in lens cleaning solution. Wipe gently from the center to the edge. Lens cleaning solution is commercially available.

Note

Take care not to get too much solution on the swab, which could flow into the unit and cause damage.

Pressing too strongly with the swab could scratch or break the lens.

To clean the discs

Before playing, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth. After playing, store the disc in its case.
