Maintenance

SERVICING

1. Please refer to relevant topics in the “Troubleshooting Guide” on
page 36 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.

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
36, 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

programme 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 con­tact to 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.

play medias recorded with the NTSC system and the video cas­settes recorded with the MESECAM system via a PAL system TV
set.

*2: Certain DVD-Video discs do not operate as described in this

manual due to the intentions of the disc’s producers.
*3: Scratched or stained discs may not be played back.

nonstandardised discs, this VCR/DVD may not play them back.

Even if they are played back, the sound or video quality will be

compromised.
*6: Depending on the recording status of a disc, the disc may not

be played back at all or normally (the picture or sound may not

*7: Only the discs recorded in the video format and finalised can

be played back. Unfinalised discs cannot be played back.

Depending on the recording status of a disc, the disc may not be

played back at all or the picture or sound may not be smooth,

etc.
*8: If the recorded portion of the disc is too small (less than 55 mm

across), it may not play back properly.
*9: Do not glue paper or put stickers on to the disc. These may dam-

age the disc, and the VCR/DVD may not read it correctly.
*10: Also DTS CD is available when the VCR/DVD is connected to the
