Maintenance

PRECAUTIONS

Introduction

Servicing

• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING” on pages 80-84 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

Cleaning the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

Cleaning discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Cleaning the disc lens

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to “TROUBLESHOOTING” in this owner's 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

• 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.

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 program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video heads after a long period 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 unit 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, please consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

Note

• Remember to read the instructions along with the video

head cleaner before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

IR signal check

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in

camera of cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared light appears through digital camera, the remote control is working.

Dolby Digital Recording

“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-video players.” Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

Note

• If you have not set the clock yet:

“Clock Setting” menu will appear instead of the timer

programming list at step 1. Continue with the step 4 in “Clock Setting” on page 20 before setting a timer programming.

• Use [s / B] to move the cursor to the left and the

right in “Timer Programming” menu.

• If a basic recording or one-touch timer recording is in progress on one component (e.g., VCR) and the timer recording set for the other component (e.g., DVD) is about to begin, the unit automatically switches to the programmed channel for timer recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time, and the recording in progress (for VCR) will be canceled UNLESS their recording channels are the same. If their recording channels are the same, the timer recording will start without canceling the recording currently in progress. In this case, the recording of the same channel will be made on both DVD and VCR.

• Cancel the timer-standby mode by pressing [TIMER SET] before operation for either DVD or VCR. When finished operating, press [TIMER SET] to resume the timer-standby mode.

• In the timer-standby mode, you can turn on the power and use the component (VCR or DVD) which is not currently timer-programmed.
