4. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Operation panel
For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
The operation panel will operate properly in a
temperature range of 0 to 60 C.
Do not allow any liquids on the set from drinks,
umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the
internal circuitry.
Do not disassemble or modify the set in any
way. Doing so may result in damage.
Subjecting the operation panel to shocks may
result in breakage, deformation or other
damage.
Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so
may damage or deform the cabinet.
If a problem should occur, have the set
inspected at your store of purchase.
Do not insert objects or poke in the space
between the operation panel and the main unit
when the panel is tilted.
The remote control unit may not work if the
remote control sensor is exposed to direct
sunlight.
In extremely cold weather, the display
movement may slow down and the display may
darken, but this is not a malfunction. The
display will work normally when the
temperature increases.
Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid
crystal panel are normal for LCD products.
The touchkeys on the display operate when
slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey
screen with much force.
Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey
panel with much force. This may cause
malfunctioning of the touchkeys.
Cleaning
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt.
For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent
diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt
gently, then wipe again with a dry cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc.,
as these substances may damage the cabinet
or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber
or plastic products in contact with the cabinet
for long periods of time may cause stains.
Cleaning the liquid crystal panel
The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust, so
wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The
surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with
hard objects.

roughness from the edge of the disc.
Never stick labels on the surface of the disc or

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any
heat source.
Do not expose discs to excess humidity or
dust.
Do not expose discs to direct heat from
heaters.
Cleaning
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the disc to the circumference.
Do not use any solvents, such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean discs.
After using special disc cleaner, let the disc dry
off well before playing it.

disc. The operation panel will close
automatically when leaving it open for a while.
