Maintenance

Cleaning the Unit

• Wipe the exterior of the player with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents as they may damage the finish.
• To clean the disc lens, use a specialized DVD lens cleaning disc. Do not attempt to clean the lens manually.

Disc Care

• Handle discs by their edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
• Clean dirty discs with a soft, lint-free cloth, wiping from the center outwards.
