15. OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid on the product.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge product, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrode.

18. SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.

20. SAFETY CHECK

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING

21.

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

22. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered

by the operating instructions, as an adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive

work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for service.

23. HEAT

The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CA
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

NOTES ON HANDLING:

• When shipping the DVD recorder, always use the
original shipping carton and packing materials. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the DVD recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the DVD recorder for a long
time. They will leave marks on the finish.

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

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

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

NOTES ON LOCATING THE DVD recorder:

• When you place this DVD recorder near a TV, radio or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD
recorder away from the TV, radio or VCR.

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
it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner
and benzene, as they may damage the surface of the
DVD recorder.

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

other components of playback mechanism should be
performed by a qualified service technician.

Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

The DVD recorder 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.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:

Moisture condensation damages the DVD recorder.
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 DVD recorder.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases:

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

• When you use the DVD recorder 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 DVD recorder in a hot
and humid place just after you moved the unit from an
air conditioned room.

• When you use the DVD recorder in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD recorder when moisture
condensation may occur.

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

CONNECTING THE DVD TO A TV AND CATV USING THE RF INPUT/OUTPUT JACKS

IMPORTANT:

This will only send the
cable/satellite signal to
the TV. To play a disc,
you must connect using
the A/V, S-Video or
component outputs as
described on the
following pages.

NOTES FOR CONNECTING TO CATV, SATELLITE, ETC.

• The signal will be sent to the TV regardless if the DVD recorder is on or off.

• If your TV has a Component input, connect the DVD recorder with the component cable for best
results, otherwise use the S-Video or Video Out jack(s) on the DVD recorder.

• You can use the DVD recorders tuner to change channels, or you can use your TV’s tuner.

• When connecting the DVD, refer to the owner’s manual of the TV, as well as this manual.

• When connecting the DVD to the TV, make sure the power is off and both units are unplugged
before making any connections.

• Connect the DVD recorder to your TV directly. If you connect the DVD recorder through a VCR, the
playback picture will be distorted because DVD video discs are copy protected.

• Connect a cable, etc. signal as described on this page to use the tuner capabilities of this unit and
one of the OUT video connections on the CONNECTION pages to play a disc. If your TV only has
an RF input, then an RF Modulator Accessory RF-150 will be required.

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.
