Read Carefully Before Using

Cautions in use of DVD-Video player are described below. Please read carefully before using a DVDVideo player.

Installation place and handling

• When you place this player near other devices, they may affect poorly together.

• When you place DVD-Video player and TV in the upper and lower sides, it may cause flickering of

pictures or failure (tape is not ejected).

• When you place this player near strong magnetic materials, it may affect image or voice poorly or damage recording.

• Do not spill volatile liquids like insect spray over the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the player for a long time. They will cause deterioration or paint peel-off.

Not in use

• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc or tape and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the unit for a long period, remove batteries in REMOTE to prevent leakage.

• In case you don’t use the unit for a long time, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on

and use the player occasionally.

Cleaning

• Dust off dirt in cabinet or control panel part smoothly with a soft cloth.

• For heavy dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring it well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to

wipe it out.

• Follow instructions in using chemical cleaners.

• Do not use any type of solvent such as gasoline or benzene, as they may cause deterioration or

paint peel-off.

Tape and Disc Handling

• Do not use any tape and disc below. Damage of video head or cut/coiling of tape may cause failure.

– Tape with mold – Tape or disc stained with juice or attachments – Tape having breakage connection – Disassembled tape – Disc with severe scratch

• Moisture condensation may occur in tape. Moisture condensation damages the tape. Please use the tape after the moisture condensation is disappeared.

• After use, store tape vertically in a case to prevent loose.

• Do not store the following places.

– High temperature and humidity – Subject generation of mold – Much dirt or dust – Near strong magnetic materials such as speaker

• Do not use your recordings without permission of a copyrighter except personal usage.

Video Head Cleaning

The video heads enable the VCR to read video information pictures from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become clogged with dirt video playback will be impossible. This can easily be determined during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but the picture is extremely snowy. If this is the case, have the video cassette recorder checked by qualified service personnel.

Notes

• During normal operation of the VCR, the video and audio heads can accumulate dirt over a period of

time, especially when using an old or poor quality tape.

• When the heads are dirty, the picture can get snowy and the tracking control will have little or no effect. If this condition occurs, head cleaning cartridges may take care of the problem and restore normal picture.

• We recommend that head cleaning cartridges be used sparingly since they are very abrasive and can damage the video heads during prolonged use.

• If the problem is not resolved with the head cleaning cartridge then the unit needs to be checked by a qualified service personnel.

Erasure Protection

Video cassettes are equipped with a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure. When the tab is removed, recording can not be performed.

To Prevent Accidental Erasure To Record Again

– After recording, break off the safety tab – Cover the hold with cellophane tape.

with a screwdriver if you don't want to record over the tape.

What is Dew Condensation Symptom?

If a VCR is moved from a cool place to a warm and damp place or a place facing a direct cool wind

from air-conditioner ............. and others, temperature varies sharply, which makes dew on head drums

of VCR.

If Dew Condensation Occurs

1. First, turn it on for one or two hours before using it.

2. Do not use it because it may develop troubles of a VCR or videotape.

Maintenance and Care

Caring for the player

• Keep it dry. If water should get on it, wipe if off immediately. Water contains minerals that can

corrode electronics circuits.

• Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and can even distort or melt certain plastics.

• Do not use or store in areas of high level of dirt or dust. The electronic parts may be contaminated or will wear prematurely.

• Do not drop your product. This will likely result in failure to operate. Circuit boards can crack and the cases may not survive the impact. Handing your product roughly will shorten its useful life.

• Always make sure any batteries used are fresh and are of the correct type. Old or almost-dead batteries are also dangerous. A worn out battery can leak chemicals which will damage the electronic circuits.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

Cleaning the Unit

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.

• Do not use harsh chemicals or strong cleaning solvents to clean your unit. You need only wipe

it with a slightly moist, never wet cloth.

Inclination

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal

position only.

Condensation

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the

unit and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for 30 minutes before operating the unit.

Avoid Interference

• Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference may appear on the TV screen

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.

Disconnect Power

• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the

wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (main leads), grasp the plug itself, never pull the cord.

• Never use benzine, thinner, cleaning fluid, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

Disc Maintenance

• Before playback, wipe the disc from the center hole toward

the outer edge with a clean cloth.

• Never use benzine, thinner, cleaning fluid, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

Connect the player to TV set by Y, Pb, Pr Jacks

TV Connection – Component Video

If your TV set has a Component Video Input Jack you can connect your TV to the Component Video Out Jack on the back of this system. The Component Video will provide the best picture quality if your TV is equipped to handle Component Video signals. We recommed using the Component Video connection.

Component (Y , Pb, Pr) Video Out

Use these jacks to connect to a TV with progressive video input jacks and then set the PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch to ‘ON’. Progressive Scan is a video scanning system that displays all lines in a frame in one pass, as opposed to the traditional system, interlaced scan. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality use three video-grade cables for connections. Note that it is essential to match the color-coded connectors with a compatible TV.

525 Line Digital Progressive-Scan Component Video Output

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.) For the highest picture quality, try watching a DVD movie on a Progressive-Scan compatible TV.

Notes:

• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and set the PROGRESSIVE

SCAN switch to the ON position, you will not be able to see any picture at all.

• 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 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user set the PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch to ’OFF’.
