This cable carries broadcast signals to the television whether the unit is on or off so you do not need to connect the antenna directly to the television.

But the picture and sound signal from this unit does not go through the 75 ≠ coaxial cable to the TV. Make sure you connect one of the following terminals on this unit to the TV; the VIDEO OUT terminal, the S-VIDEO OUT terminal or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal. If the TV has none of these terminals, consult your local dealer.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

For better video from DVD

The following connections are for video from the DVD section only. Make sure you have connected the VIDEO OUT terminal with the television to view video from the VHS section. You may need to change the video-input mode on the television to view video from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your television’s operating instructions for details.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)

≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended

formats).

≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of

sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

≥When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will

be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.

≥There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen

and computer screen.

≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times). Files must have the extension:

e.g. [MP3]

root

001 group

001

001 track.mp3 002 track.mp3 003 track.mp3 002 group

“.WMA” or “.wma” “.MP3” or “.mp3” “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”

Maintenance

Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.

≥Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may

cause malfunction. (Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary

although this depends on the operating environment.)

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc trays are empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the discs and the unit.

Cleaning the video heads

Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.

To clean the heads, insert and eject a tape 5 to 10 times in succession. If the picture does not improve, use an optional head-cleaning cassette (part number NV-TCL30PT). If the problem persists, seek advice from a qualified service person.

Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be

loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

≥Start your volume control at a low setting. ≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
