Troubleshooting

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the
power cord from the outlet and plug it again.
Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm
place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a
danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on
the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two
hours with the power turned on. Then the unit will stabilize at
the temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any
fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
they may damage the surface of the unit.
