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. CLEANING THE DISC LENS ¡If the DVD/VCR still does not perform properly when it is operated while referring to the relevant sections and to "TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE" in this Owner's Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please call our help line at 1-800-448-2244 to locate an Authorized Service Center.
