may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD video player
away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
Notes on Cleaning
Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD video piayer. Piease read the foiiowing carefuiiy.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a
cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on
the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may
condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the
most crucial internal parts of the DVD video player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the foiiowing cases.
When you bring the DVD video player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD video player in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from
the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the DVD video player in a hot and
humid place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution,
wring the cloth well and wipe the unit. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine,
as they may damage the surface of the DVD video player.
• If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow
that product’s instructions.
