•  BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fi ngerprints and 

especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be 
played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe 
place.

Place the disc in the centre of the 
disc case and store the case and 
disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations 
subject to direct sunlight, close to 
heating appliances or in locations 
of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject 
them to strong vibrations or 
impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations 
where there are large amounts of 
dust or moisture.

•  If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) 

cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre 
hole toward the outer edge.

•  Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static 

electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent. 

•  Do not touch the surface.
•  Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc. 
•  If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the Player 

may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc tray, 
or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any dirt off the playing 
surface with a soft cloth.

•  Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these 

discs can damage the lens.

•  Request the nearest service centre approved by SHARP to clean 

the lens.

•  Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the following 

conditions:
— Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
— In a steamy or very humid room.
— When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold environment to 

a warm one.

When condensation forms:
  It becomes diffi cult for the Player to read the signals on the disc 

and prevents the Player from operating properly.

To remove condensation:
  Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power off until 

the condensation disappears. Using the Player when there is 
condensation may cause malfunction.
