Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excellence
The Player is a precision device that is constructed using extremely accurate technology. 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 obtain optimum picture quality, the Player should be checked (cleaning 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 Player is used. Contact your authorized Sharp supplier for details. Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens yourself.

Cleaning
Unplug your Player before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use cleaning fluids or aerosols which could enter the Player and cause damage, fire, or electrical shock. These substances may also deteriorate the finish of your Player.

If there is Noise Interference on the TV While a Broadcast is being Received
Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference may appear on the TV monitor while you watch a TV broadcast and the Player is left on. This is not a malfunction of the Player or the TV. To watch a TV broadcast, turn off the Player.
