When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the DVD/VCR, Remote or video cassette.

1. DO NOT place the DVD/VCR ... ... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity. ... in direct sunlight. ... in a dusty environment. ... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated. ... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2. DO NOT block the DVD/VCR’s ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the DVD/VCR or Remote.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the DVD/VCR or Remote. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the DVD/VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the DVD/VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

How to use the Remote

Before use, insert two AAA size batteries into the Remote with the polarity ( and ) matched correctly as indicated on the battery compartment or on the lid.

Point the Remote toward the remote sensor on the target component. The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about 5 m.

NOTE:

If the Remote does not work properly, remove its batteries, wait for a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try again.

Video heads cleaning

The heads get dirty in the following cases:

in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity. in a dusty environment flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes continuous usage for a long time

Use a dry cleaning cassette — TCL-2 — when:

Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back. The picture is unclear or no picture appears.

Stereo recording and playback/Second Audio Program (SAP)

Stereo Recording and Playback

The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity recording of MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.

When a MTS STEREO broadcast is received, the word “STEREO” will appear

on the screen for about 4 seconds and the program can be viewed or recorded in stereo. The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is the same as for normal recordings.

NOTE:

When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word “STEREO” will not appear and the sound will be in mono.

Output selection

When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press A.MONITOR to select how the audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The “R” and “L” positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speakers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.

STEREO

NOTES:

• When playing back a tape that is not

recorded in Hi-Fi stereo mode, the audio will automatically be monaural.

• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video tape or MTS broadcast through the VHF/UHF jack (Audio/Video cable not connected), the sound will be monaural.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES:•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE

REAR COVER. Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Note

Auto Clock Setting

The XDS signals are carried only by certain broadcast television stations (for example, the signal is carried by most Public Broadcasting Service stations). You must be able to receive a station carrying the XDS signal to use the Auto Clock Setting to set your DVD/VCR’s internal clock. If you live in an area that does not broadcast XDS signals, you must set the clock manually . Please see page 23 for instructions on how to manually set your DVD/VCR’s clock.
