PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON HANDLING:

• When shipping the TV/DVD player, always use the

original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray near

the TV/DVD player.

• The top and rear panels of the TV/DVD player may

become warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• When the TV/DVD player is not in use, be sure to

remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the TV/DVD player for a long

period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the TV/DVD player occasionally.

NOTES ON CLEANING: Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzene, as they may damage the surface of the TV/DVD player.

• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions. Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

The TV/DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION: Moisture condensation damages the TV/DVD player. Please read the following carefully.

• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the TV/ DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

• When you bring the TV/DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

• When you use the TV/DVD player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• In summer, when you use the TV/DVD player in a hot and humid place just after you moved the unit from an air conditioned room.

• When you use the TV/DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the TV/DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

• If you use the TV/DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the TV/DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on the TV/DVD player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the TV/DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the TV/DVD player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

POWER SOURCE

Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz. NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
