Maintenance
Servicing
1. Please refer to relevant topics in the "Troubleshooting
Guide" on page 23 before returning the product.
2. Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. Instead, unplug
it and contact a SHARP Approved Service Centre for
inspection. (Refer to page 23.)
3. Be sure the service technician uses authorised replace-
ment parts or their equivalents. Unauthorised parts may
cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
4. Following any service or repair, be sure the service techni-
cian performs safety checks to certify that this unit is in
safe operating order.
Cleanning the cabinet
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasive.
Cleaning discs
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular
motion.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or
antistatic spray intended for analogue records.
Recommended measures for optimum picture excellence
This unit is a precision device constructed using extremely
accurate technology.
• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is
worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.
• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer
to the relevant sections and to "Troubleshooting Guide" on
page 23, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult
a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection and
cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can
impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio
will be played back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the
Player should be serviced (cleaned and replacement of
some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies
depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.) in which the unit is used. Contact your authorised
SHARP supplier for details.
Disc handling
• When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to
touch the surface of the disc.
• Always store a disc in its protective case when it is not
used.
