(1) Cleaning disc
1) Use the provided disc cleaning cloth, or a soft, dry cloth to lightly clean the
disc from the inner to outer edges in axial direction.
2) If the dirt cannot be removed with the above procedure, put a few droplets
of absolute alcohol in a soft, dry cloth, and use it to lightly clean the disc
from the inner to outer edges in axial direction.
(2) Cleaning optical pickup
Note:
Do not clean the optical pickup needlessly. The optical pickup is a precision component. Repeated cleaning
could cause a fault.
1) Attach the AC adapter/charger or battery (power supply), and then slide the DISC EJECT switch to
open the disc insertion block.
2) Remove the AC adapter/charger or battery (power supply).
3) Check to see whether the optical pickup is dirty. If it is not dirty,
use the following procedure to clean it:
a) Apply one drop of absolute alcohol on a clean cotton swab (*1).
Lens cleaner liquid for CD/DVD (generally available) may be
substituted for absolute alcohol.
b) Lightly swab the optical pickup to clean it.
Using too much force during cleaning may cause a fault to occur.
*1: Always use a fresh cotton swab free from any additive or chemical.
Caution:
Laser light striking the eye may cause your eyesight to be lost: For safety, be sure to remove any power
supply (AC adaptor/charger, battery, etc.) from the DVD video camera/recorder before starting work.
