PRECAUTIONS
Servicing
•  Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING” 
on pages 92-95 before returning the product.
•  If you need to call a customer service representative, 
please know the model number and serial number of 
your product before you call. This information is 
displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take 
a moment to identify the problem you are having, and 
be prepared to explain this to the representative. If you 
believe the representative will need to help you with 
operations, please stay near the product. Our 
representatives will be happy to assist you.
Cleaning the Cabinet
•  Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the 
unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
•  Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to 
clean the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the 
unit. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or 
damage the unit.
Cleaning Discs
•  When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning 
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not 
wipe in a circular motion.
•  Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, 
commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive 
cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog 
records.
Cleaning the Disc Lens
•  If this unit still does not perform properly although you 
refer to the relevant sections and to 
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in this owner’s 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.
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.
Maintenance
If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if 
the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM 
radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular 
phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.
• With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a station with no 
broadcasting. Press a button on remote 
control toward the radio. Sound will be 
fluttering when you press any key and the 
radio receives the signal. This means the 
remote control is working.
• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of 
cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control, 
press and hold a button on remote control. If 
infrared light appears through digital camera, 
the remote control is working.
IR Signal Check
Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record 
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD 
discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM 
recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for 
higher video resolution or extended recording time on 
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording 
will play back on all DVD-video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with 
actual recordable DVD discs.
