Do not use benzine, paint thinner or
alcohol for cleaning the unit.
≥ Before cleaning, pull out the AC mains lead
from the AC mains socket.
≥ If you use a solvent, the casing may be
discoloured and the surface finish may peel
off.
≥ Wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth to remove
dust and fingerprints. To remove stubborn
stains, thoroughly wring a cloth that has
been soaked in a neutral detergent diluted
with water and wipe the unit with it.
Afterwards, wipe it with a dry cloth.
≥ Do not use a chemical dust cloth.
When you are not going to use the unit
for an extended time
≥ When storing the unit in a cupboard or
cabinet, it is recommended that you put a
desiccant (silica gel) in with it.
∫ About the AC adaptor
≥ Be sure to use the supplied AC adaptor.
≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC
adaptor 1 m or more away from the radio.
≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may
generate whirring sounds. However, this is
normal.
≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC
adaptor. (If it is left connected, about 0.3 W
of current is consumed at most.)
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC
adaptor clean.
Put this unit near the outlet to make it
easy to reach for the interrupting device
(plug).
∫ About the disc
≥ If there is dust, a scratch, or dirt on
disc or if it is warped, the following
phenomena may occur:
– Block noise in playback image
– Momentary stop of playback image
– Sound interrupted during playback, or
abnormal sound
– Disc cannot correctly be recognised
– Delay between video and audio
When the ACCESS lamp is illuminated
(while accessing a disc), do not
disconnect the AC adaptor or the USB
cable or subject this unit to vibration
and shock.
DVD-R/DVD-R DL
≥ For optimum recording on DVD-R or
DVD-R DL discs, this unit writes control
data to a DVD-R or DVD-R DL used for
recording when it is being inserted and
ejected. If the disc has no area for control
data to be written, recording may not be
possible. To prevent this, do not insert a
DVD-R or DVD-R DL which has been
recorded on more than 50 times.
≥ Do not insert a DVD-R or DVD-R DL recorded
on this unit that has not been finalized into a
recordable device, such as a DVD recorder.
The recorded data may be damaged.
∫ About condensation
Shortly after removing a chilled bottle from
the refrigerator in summer, you will see that
it is covered with tiny droplets of water. This
phenomenon is called condensation.
Using this unit when condensation has occurred
may cause it to malfunction. Make every effort to
ensure that condensation does not form. If it
does form, take the actions described below.
Causes of condensation
Condensation takes place when the
ambient temperature or humidity is
changed as follows.
≥ When this unit is brought inside from the
cold to a warm room.
≥ When this unit is moved from an
air-conditioned car to outside.
≥ When a cold room has been warmed up
quickly.
≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner is
directly blown onto this unit.
≥ After summer afternoon showers of rain.
≥ When this unit is in a very humid place
where the air is thick with steam.
When this unit is taken to a location with
a significant temperature difference
such as from a cold place to a hot place.
Place the unit inside a plastic bag, remove as
much of the air from inside the bag as
possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for
about an hour in the room so the temperature
of the unit is close to the ambient temperature
of the room, then use it.
What to do when condensation forms
Disconnect the AC adaptor and leave the
unit for about 1 hour. Check that the
condensation disappeared naturally when
the unit became close to the ambient
temperature and then use the unit.
