Unit Usage Precautions
Chapter 3 Usage Precautions
Ventilation
Care should be exercised to prevent the internal mechanisms of the unit from
overheating. Be careful not to clog or block the vent, or place the unit in an area
with poor ventilation. The unit may stop operating altogether if the internal
temperature becomes too high.
Moving the unit
Be sure to remove the disc cartridge when the unit is not being used. Also never
move or transport the unit with the disc cartridge still inserted.
While in operation, the disc rotates at a high speed. Moving the unit at such a
time may disturb the spinning disc and cause it to be damaged. Always remove
the disc cartridge before moving your unit.
Condensation
Avoid subjecting the unit to extremes in temperature. If, for example, the unit is
moved suddenly from a very cold location to a warm one, moisture from
condensation may form within the unit due to the quick rise in ambient
temperature. If a sudden change in the temperature cannot be avoided, wait for
an hour or more before using the unit. Inserting a disc cartridge into the
mechanism when moisture is present may cause damage to both the disc and the
unit. Remove the disc cartridge immediately if you suspect any condensation
problems. The moisture should evaporate quickly if the unit is left on without a
disc inserted.
Temperature Alarm
When the temperature in the unit exceeds the preset level, the BUSY indicator
starts flashing on and off at about 2-seconds intervals, regardless of whether or
not a disc is being accessed, and the unit stops operating. If this happens, you
should improve the ventilation of a setting area.
If the unit still refuses to operate, unplug the unit and contact your dealer.
Cleaning the Unit
Do not use a lens cleaning devices.
The internal lens cleaning brush mechanism ensures periodic, automatic
cleaning of the pickup lens. Therefore thee is no need to clean the lens of the
unit. Using a lens cleaning devices may damage the lens.
Make sure cleaning products are not used to clean a disc or the lens of the unit.
Maintenance
Clean the cabinet with a dry soft cloth, or with a soft cloth lightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol
or benzine, which may damage the finish.
If problems occur
If any problems occur, turn off the power and unplug the unit, contact your
dealer.
