This unit is a precision device constructed using 
extremely accurate technology.
•  The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is 

worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.

•  If this unit still does not perform properly although you 

refer to the relevant sections and to “Troubleshooting” 
on page 91, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. 
Consult a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection 
and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

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 maintain optimum 
picture quality, the Player should be serviced (cleaned 
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 unit is 
used. Contact your authorised SHARP supplier for details.

•  When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not 

to touch the surface of the disc.

•  Always store a disc in its protective case when it is not 

used.

•  Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or 

remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

•  Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted 

while the TV programme reception is clear. Dirt 
accumulated on the video heads after a long period of 
use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this 
problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during 
playback, the video heads in your unit may need to be 
cleaned.

1.  Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase 

a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.

2.  If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, 

please consult your dealer or an authorized service 
centre.

Consumers should note that not all high definition 
television sets are fully compatible with this product 
and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. 
In case of picture problems with 525 or 625 progressive 
scan output, it is recommended that the user switch the 
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are 
questions regarding your TV set compatibility with this 
525p or 625p DVD player, please contact our customer 
service centre.

Depending on the reception condition of the TV, 
interference may appear on the TV monitor while you 
watch a TV broadcast and the unit is left on. This is 
not a malfunction of the unit or the TV. To watch a TV 
broadcast, turn off the unit.
