ATTENTION
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.
On placing the unit:
Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.
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 unit, remote control or video cassette.
1.DO NOT place the unit —
—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 unit’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 unit or remote control.
4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit or remote control.
(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.
6.DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7.DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8.AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in 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 unit turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
4 SAFETY FIRST (cont.)
Some Do’s And Don’ts On The Safe Use
Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL...
—NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

File Structure of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

DISC INFORMATION (cont.) |
Placing a Disc
1 Open the disc tray.
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
●Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.
●Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.
●Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc in the disc tray.
●Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.
2 Place the disc.
Place the disc in the disc tray with the label side facing up.
● Since disc size changes depending 
on the disc to be played back, be 
sure to correctly align the disc with 
the grooves for its size. If the disc is 
not in its groove, it may be 
scratched or otherwise damaged.
●To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.
Care and Handling of Discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the
disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped,
the images and sound will not be picked up correctly,
and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
CAUTION
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
