This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

¡If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.

¡Connect the DVD/VCR player directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a DVD/VCR, pictures may

be distorted due to the copy protection system.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have a Scart jack, it is still possible to connect this DVD/VCR player to your TV’s 75- ohm coaxial antenna terminal using a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not included. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD/VCR player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.

If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal as described above.

Note

¡The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD/VCR player is connected to the TV’s

antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.

Tuning of broadcast channels not already preset in the DVD/VCR can be performed in two ways.

AUTOMATIC TUNING

• By “AUTOMATICALLY” tuning channels and placing them in sequential order in the DVD/VCR’s memory i.e. the first channel found will be memorised into the DVD/VCR’s channel position 1, the second channel found will be memorised into the DVD/VCR’s channel position 2 and so on.

• Execution of the “Automatic” tuning cancels all the preset channels. DO NOT use this feature if you intend to use some of the pre-tuned channels. Use the “Manual” tuning function to tune in the additional channels you require.

PDC(Programme Delivery Control)

The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system which assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording, will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and, for example, some special news is broadcast, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

When the PDC signal drop out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. When the starting time of the PDC timer recording is from 0:00 to 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function operates from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the following day. When the starting time of the PDC timer recording is from 4:00 to 23:59 on the given day, the PDC function operates from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on the following day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it will be recorded correctly. if the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel the incorrect timer setting, refer to “TO CANCEL OR CHECK THE START/END TIME’’ on page 28.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SERVICING

Should your DVD/VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power cord, and take the unit to our Authorized Service Center.

CABINET CLEANING

¡Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of

the DVD/VCR with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.

¡Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray

insecticide liquid near the DVD/VCR. Such chemicals may cause damage and discolouration to the exposed surfaces.

AUTO HEAD CLEANING

¡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 long periods 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 DVD/VCR 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, consult our nearest Authorized Service Center.

NOTES:

• Remember to read the instructions included with the

video head cleaner before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

IF THE LASER OPTICAL PICKUP UNIT IS DIRTY

¡If the player still does not perform properly when it is operated while referring to the relevant sections and to

the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE in this INSTRUCTION MANUAL, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

DISC HANDLING

¡Use discs which have the following logos on them.

(Optical audio digital discs.)

¡Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not

adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

¡Always store the disc in its protective case when it is

not used.

¡To clean-off, use a soft cloth.

¡Do not use a hard cloth since this will mar the disc.

¡Wipe the disc in a straight line from center to edge.

¡Never wipe with a circular motion.

¡Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.

BATTERY

SAFETY

GUIDELINES

Take care to fit your batteries correctly, observing the plus and minus marks on the battery and appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause leakage or in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

ALWAYS

Replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types, since this can result in leakage or in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

ALWAYS

Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused — resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion. Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.

PLEASE PHOTOCOPY AND DISPLAY

ALWAYS ALWAYS NEVER

Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a shortcircuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from equipment you know you are not going to use for a long time. Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.

Never dispose of batteries in fire as this can cause them to explode. Please put dead batteries in with the normal household waste.

NEVER ALWAYS NEVER

Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak cause fire or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.

Supervise children if they are replacing

batteries themselves in order to ensure

these guidelines are followed.

Remember that small button cell batteries such as used in some hearing aids, toys, games and other appliances, are easily swallowed by young children and this can be dangerous.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS

Keep loose button cells away from young children.

Make sure battery compartments are

secure.

Seek medical advice if you believe a

cell has been swallowed.
