unit with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and 

wrung dry.

•  Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide 

liquid near the unit. Such chemicals may cause damage 

and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

Panel Cleaning

Wipe the panel of the unit with a soft cloth. Before 

cleaning the panel, disconnect the AC power cord.

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.

•  To clean-off, use a soft cloth.

•  Do not use a hard cloth since this will mar the disc.

•  Wipe the disc in a straight line form center to edge.

Servicing

Should your unit become inoperative, do not try to correct 

the problem yourself. There are no user serviceable parts 

inside. Turn off the unit, unplug the AC power cord and call 

our toll free customer support line found on the cover of 

this manual to locate an authorized service center.

If the Laser Optical Pickup Unit is Dirty

If the unit still does not perform properly when it is 

operated, while referring to the relevant sections and to 

"Troubleshooting Guide" in this user 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.

IR Signal Check

If the remote control is not working properly, you can use 

a digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in 

camera) to see if it is sending out an infrared signal.

•  With a digital camera 

(including built-in cell phone cameras): 

Point the Digital Camera towards the 

remote control infrared diode at the front 

of the remote control. Press any button on 

the remote control and look through the 

camera display. If the infrared pulsating 

light appears through the camera, the 

remote control is sending out an IR signal.
