Before Use (Cont’d)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Tuning in a video channel on your TV

Notes

The output frequency of this video recorder (VCR) is set at UHF channel 36. If channel 36 is already used by another TV station, or if the picture is distorted, you can change the transmitter channel of your VCR. Stages 5 ~ 8 will show you how to change the output frequency of your VCR.

Your TV receives signals from the video recorder (VCR) like another TV station. You have to select a channel number on your TV and tune it in so that you may watch video tapes. If you have used a SCART or AUDIO and VIDEO cables then your TV should already have a dedicated video channel built into it, usually called AV.

1 Make sure that you have correctly installed your VCR as described earlier in this book.

Press POWER to turn on your VCR. Turn on your TV.

2Insert a pre-recorded video tape into your VCR and press PLAY on the remote control.

Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video’s.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a video-tape to play at this stage! If you switch your VCR on and continue stages 3 ~ 4, instead of seeing video playback tune your TV until you see a bright blue screen.

3Tune this channel until the video picture is sharp and the sound is clear.

If you have used a SCART or AUDIO and VIDEO cables you will not have to tune your TV, simply select the AV channel. The AV channel is already pre-tuned for optimum video playback on your TV.

4Store this channel on your TV.

You will need to look at the TV instruction book if you do not know how to do this.

5Only carry out stages 5 ~ 8 if you cannot obtain clear video playback as described in stages 1 ~ 4.

Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video’s.

Make sure that your VCR is in standby pressing POWER on the remote control (only the clock will be displayed).

6Press CHANNEL N or M on the front of your VCR for more than 4 seconds.

RF36 will appear in the display window.

The following picture will be displayed on the TV screen.

7Press CHANNEL N or Mto select another video channel. You may select any channel number between 22 and 68.

You can also set it to “OFF” if there is any interference when your TV is connected to the VCR with a SCART lead.

8Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video’s.

Press POWER 6STANDBY/ON on the front of your VCR when you have finished.

Tune this channel so that a bright blue screen appears.

Store this channel on your TV.

Notes

Make sure that you have correctly installed your VCR and successfully tuned in a dedicated video channel on your TV. If you do not tune in a dedicated video channel on your TV you will be unable to view and record video tapes!
