Introduction 5

Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth, wiping from the center
to the edge in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a
circular motion.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercial-
ly available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for ana-
log discs.
If the DVD Receiver cannot read Discs correctly, use an
accessory cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other
cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the
tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the DVD
Receiver from cold to warm room conditions. If lens
clouding occurs, you may not be able to play a Disc. Leave
the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit
until playback is possible.
Do not expose the receiver, batteries, or discs to humidi-
ty, rain, sand, or excessive heat (from devices or direct
sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid get-
ting dust on the lens.
