PREPARATION OF SERVICING
Pickup Head consists of a laser diode that is very susceptible to external static electricity.
Although it operates properly after replacement, if it was subject to electrostatic discharge during replacement,
its life might be shortened. When replacing, use a conductive mat, soldering iron with ground wire, etc. to
protect the laser diode from damage by static electricity.
And also, the LSI and IC are same as above.

Precautions
Notes on handling
When shipping the DVD player, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the DVD player. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the DVD player for a long
time.They will leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the DVD player may
become warm after a long period of use.This is not a
malfunction.
When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to
remove the disc and turn off the power.
If you do not use the DVD player for a long period,
the unit may not function properly in the future.Turn
on and use the DVD player occasionally.
Notes on locating
Place the DVD player on a level surface. Do not use it
on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling
table or inclined stand.The loaded disc may come off
the proper position and cause damage to the DVD
player.
When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio, or
VTR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD
player away from the TV, radio, or VTR.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD
player.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product’s instructions.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If
the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain
a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every
1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens
inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of
the DVD player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD player in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold
wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot
and humid place just after you move the unit from an
air conditioned room.
When you use the DVD player in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD player when moisture
condensation may occur.
If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall
outlet, turn on the DVD player, and leave it for two or
three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player
will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the DVD player connected to the wall outlet and
moisture condensation will seldom occur.
