IR Signal Check

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared light appears through digital camera, the remote control is working.

Cleaning the Cabinet

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to clean the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the unit. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or damage the unit.

Cleaning Discs

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Cleaning the Disc Lens

If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to “TROUBLESHOOTING” in this owner’s manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

Disc Handling

Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.

Dolby Digital Recording

“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-video players.”

Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.
