Precautions (cont'd)
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"
on page 91, 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.
AUTO HEAD CLEANING
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or
remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
while the TV programme reception is clear. Dirt
accumulated on the video heads after a long period of
use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this
problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during
playback, the video heads in your unit may need to be
cleaned.
1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase
a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.
2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem,
please consult your dealer or an authorized service
centre.
Note
• Remember to read the instructions along with the
video head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
