Care & Maintenance
For trouble free opera­tion, follow these handling, care and cleaning instructions.
Handling Precautions
• Before connecting other components to this system, be certain the system power and component power is off.
• Be certain that speaker connections are secure and not shorted before turning on the system power.
• Lower the system volume before switching between the DVD, VCR and AUX inputs and when changing discs.
• Do not move the system while a disc is being played to prevent the disc from being scratched or broken, and to prevent damage to the disc player’s internal parts.
• Do not set liquid filled objects or any small metal objects on top of the system.
• Be careful not to place anything other than a disc in the disc tray.
• Exterior interference such as lightning and static elec­tricity may affect normal operation of this system. If this occurs, turn the system off and on again with the POWER button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The system will reset and should operate normally again.
• Be sure to remove the disc and put the system in Standby after use.
• Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet when you don’t intend to use the system for long periods of time.
• Clean the disc by wiping in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Disc Storage
• Store all discs properly in their case or protective sleeve and handle each disc carefully as the discs are suscep­tible to damage.
• Do not store discs in direct sunlight; keep discs in a cool ventilated area.
• Do not stack discs. Store discs vertically on a shelf.
Maintenance of Cabinet
For safety reasons, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the cabinet.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Formation of Condensation
When the system is exposed to rapid temperature and humidity changes, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the system.
• If condensation forms inside the system, the system may not operate correctly. When this occurs, leave the system at room temperature until the inside of system becomes dry and operational.
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft and dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
