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.

*1: This VCR/DVD conforms to the PAL colour system. Also you can

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. *4: Some discs cannot be played back because of incompatible

recording conditions, characteristics of the recorder or special

properties of discs. *5: You can play back discs which bear the marks above. If you use

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

be smooth, etc.). In this case, you need to finalise the disc with

the DVD recorder. Refer to the manual accompanying the DVD

recorder. *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

DTS decoder. *11: Official DivX Certified™ product; Plays DivX® 5, DivX® 4,

Hint

•

When a tape without erase-protection tab is inserted, the VCR/DVD will start playback automatically.

•

Tracking adjustment will be activated automatically (Digital Tracking function) when you start playback.

• When playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorded on units other than your own, noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the playback picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking control manually by pressing CH K / L until the streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback again.

Hint for “Speed Search” and “Still Picture”

• Usually there will be video “noise” lines (black and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is normal. The still picture will, in addition to containing the “noise” lines, be black and white. This is not a fault of the machine but merely a by-product of the technology involved in producing a VCR with LP mode.
