8.To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a high- tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.

Moisture condensation may damage this unit. Read the following carefully:

Moisture may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this unit.

•Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:

–The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
