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

riginally 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.

arning:

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. the DVD recorder will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD recorder connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

After two or three hours,
