MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the player
• Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe off dust and dirt ac ­
cumulated on VP-1000. If necessary, moisten a soft
cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy
dirt.
• Never use paint-thinner, benzene, or other solvents.
They react with the surface and cause color changes and
melting .
Laser disc Care
• Laser discs are made of hard plastic . Use a commercial
phonograph record cleaner or soft cloth to lightly wipe
SPECIFICATIONS
off dust and dirt.
• Finger prints and dust on the laser disc do not affect the
recorded signal. However, excessive dirt may interfere
with reproduced picture quality, so it is a good idea to
keep the laser discs clean .
• Therefore, it is best to handle laser discs by the outer
edges and center hole only, just as you would do with
ordinary phonograph records.
• Always replace discs in their jackets afte r use. To pre ­
vent warping, keep discs away from high temperature
and humidity.
