Maintenance

Servicing

1. Please refer to relevant topics in the “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE” on page 34 before returning the product.

2. Do not attempt to service this VCR/DVD yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection. (Refer to page 35.)

3. Be sure the service technician uses authorised replacement parts or their equivalents. Unauthorised parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

4. Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs safety checks to certify that this VCR/DVD is in safe operating order.

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 centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially avail-

able cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excellence

This VCR/DVD is a precision device constructed using extremely accurate technology.

• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is worn out

or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.

• If this VCR/DVD still does not perform properly although you refer

to the relevant sections and to “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE” on page 34, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio will be played back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the Player should be serviced (cleaned and replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the unit is used. Contact your authorised SHARP supplier for details.

Disc Handling

• When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to touch the

surface of the disc.

• Always store a 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 pro-

gramme 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 VCR/DVD 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 call our help line mentioned on page 35 to locate a SHARP Approved Service Centre.

Hint

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

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

OTHER OPERATIONS

To Cue or Review Picture during Playback (Speed Search)

Press FWD g or REV h.

• Press it again and the VCR/DVD will search in super high speed.

• Super high speed is not available for an NTSC tape.

When the end of a tape is reached during recording, playback or fast forward, the tape will automatically rewind to the beginning. After that, the VCR/DVD will eject the tape.

• The tape will not auto-rewind during Timer Recording or One Touch Recording.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the VCR/DVD power on or off (but the VCR/DVD must be plugged in).

TV Colour System

Different countries use different television colour systems. Tapes recorded in the PAL or NTSC system can be played back on this VCR/DVD. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will be in black and white when you play back a tape that is recorded in a different colour system.

Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on this VCR/DVD and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only available in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen. Adjust the vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV features this control.

• If a Timer Recording is set, press STOP C/EJECT A twice to eject a tape.

Real Time Tape Counter

• This shows the elapsed recording or playback time in hours, minutes and seconds on screen. (Nothing is shown in the case of blank portion.)

• The “ – ” indication will appear when the tape is rewound further than the tape counter position “0:00:00”.

• To reset tape counter, press CLEAR/C-RESET.

Hint

• When playing an NTSC tape playback picture may become blurred or picture noise may appear during speed search, slow motion or still mode. This is not a malfunction.
