PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON HANDLING:

When shipping the player, always use the original

• shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum

rotection, repack the unit as it was originally packed

p at the factory.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near

• the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the player may become warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• When the player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the player occasionally.

• Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette-loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax directly on the VCR or use forced air to remove dust.

• Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a horizontal (flat) position only.

• When you finish operating the unit, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.

• To protect the player during a lightning storm, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Do not touch the antenna leads.

NOTES ON LOCATING THE UNIT:

When you place this player near a TV or radio, the

• playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the player away from the TV or radio.

NOTES ON CLEANING:

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe

. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner

it dry and benzene, as they may damage the surface of the player.

• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

DVD: The DVD player is a high technology, precision

device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

VCR: See page 55 for video head cleaning instructions.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:

Moisture condensation damages the player. Please read the following carefully.

• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

• When you bring the player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

• When you use the player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• In summer, when you use the player in a hot and humid place just after you moved the unit from an air conditioned room.

• When you use the player in a humid place.

Do not use the player when moisture condensation may occur.

• If you use the player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the player to the wall outlet, turn on the player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

lead wire use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer, then connect the transformer to the combiner.

This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the rear of the unit.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for Discs

• Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your ﬁngers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.

• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

• When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the outer edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.

• Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the disc.

• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

• To prevent ﬁre or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.

• The ﬁnish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING/CLEANING

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

The video heads are the means by which the VCR reads pictures 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 video cassette recorder checked by qualified service personnel.

Good Picture Snowy Picture

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

This VCR has a built-in head cleaning system that cleans the heads whenever a tape is inserted or ejected. However, cleaning still may be necessary when the playback picture becomes unclear. The heads can get dirty when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP 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 Video Cassette Tapes. Disregard worn out tapes.
