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.

Auto head cleaning

•Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

•Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If

a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in your unit may need to be cleaned.

1.Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS video head cleaner.

2.If a video head cleaner does not solve the problem, please consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

Note

•Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.

•Clean video heads only when problems occur.

Maintenance

Servicing

•Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING” on pages 86-89 before returning the product.

•If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn the unit to the standby mode, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

Cleaning the cabinet

•Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

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.

IR signal check

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM

radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control is working.

• 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.

HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.

Note for HDMI Connection

•Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.

•When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

•Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.

•When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

•When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.
