13. DVD Precautions and Simple Maintenance

Dust

Avoid using your DVD player in windy / dusty conditions, such as on the beach or outdoors dur- ing inclement weather.

Laser Head

The laser reader head is an exceptionally fragile component and all contact should be avoided. There should be no need to clean the head, even with a laser head cleaner. There is the additional danger that filaments separated from such laser head cleaners can damage the head afterwards during high-speed play operation.

Self Repair

Again, the DVD player is an exceptionally delicate instrument and should not be repaired or have parts changed except by authorized service personnel.

Battery Charger

Only the battery charger included with your DVD player is fully compatible with the player’s AC power adapter, so do not use battery chargers obtained from unauthorized sources.

AC Power Adapter

Please only use the AC power adapter included with your DVD player. Avoid using power trans- formers obtained from unauthorized sources.

Display Screen

The surface of the display screen is easily scratched. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects. When not in use, the player screen should be firmly closed. If the screen is soiled, wipe with a soft clean cloth. Do not apply water or any cleaning solvent.

Remote Control Batteries

The DVD player remote control operates on one CR2025 battery. Power consumption is exception- ally low and a general-purpose battery can be ex- pected to last at least 6 months. Remove the bat- tery if the remote is not used for an extended pe- riod of time to prevent leaking and damage to the remote’s internal circuitry. When installing a new battery, please make sure to select a high-quality, non-leaking battery.

Signal and Power Cables

Do not place unnecessary strain or tension on sig- nal or power cables. When unplugging cables, hold firmly by the base (and not the cable wire). When storing, do not bend cables too tightly.

Recharging Batteries

Do not disassemble the battery pack. Do not dis- pose of in fire. Dispose of in a proper manner and recycle where possible. Do not expose batteries to high temperatures. Do not permit battery con- tacts to touch metal surfaces and short. Avoid con- tact with all metal objects. For other battery main- tenance and usage suggestions, please refer to page 55.
