Cleaning the Unit

To maintain the performance and appearance of your DVD player, follow these cleaning guidelines:

Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol sprays, or strong chemical solvents, as these may damage the finish.
For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water and then wipe dry immediately.
Do not attempt to clean the inside of the disc tray or the lens. If the player is not reading discs properly, consult the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.

Disc Care

Handle discs by their edges to avoid fingerprints. Keep discs clean and free of scratches. Store discs in their cases when not in use.
