combination to avoid injury from tipover.
13)Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the unit, remote control or disc/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

slots or any other opening in the case -- this could result in a fatal
electrical shock.
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 on the surface of a glass
filled with cold liquid. In conditions where condensation may occur,
disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it
disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on

This unit supports copyright protection technologies.
Copyrights
v
According to the copyright law, video or music data that you
store must not be used for purposes other than personal
enjoyment without the authorization of the copyright holder.
v
The copyright protection function prevents copyrighted video
images from being saved to equipment such as a video
recorder. This function may also cause deterioration in the
playback picture quality when the data is output to a monitor
through a video recorder. This is not a hardware malfunction.
To play back copyrighted videos, connect this product directly

Stored video content and compensation
v
For discs containing important video content, backup on a
periodic basis (once every few years) is recommended.
Although digital signals do not deteriorate, playback or
dubbing may fail due to aging of the disc resulting from the

cannot be recovered if the media is damaged.
Disclaimer of compensation for loss or
damage of stored video content
Please note that our company will not be liable for compensation
of the content or any incidental damages in the event that
dubbing or playback cannot be performed properly for some
reasons. The same applies during repair of this unit.
