• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.

• Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below
5°C or exceeding 40°C) or where direct sunlight may strike
it.

• Because of the DVD player’s extremely low noise and wide
dynamic range, there might be a tendency to set the volume
on the amplifier unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce
an excessively large output from the amplifier which could
damage your speakers.

• Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause
condensation to form on the video head or the optical lens
inside the unit. If this happens, take out the disc, leave the
unit for about 2 hours, and then proceed to operate.

• When carrying the unit, be sure to remove any disc which
may be inside and turn the power off. Wait at least 10
seconds, then unplug the mains lead from the AC outlet.
Carrying the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc
and/or the unit.

• Do not install these equipments in a confined space, such
as a book case or built in cabinet.

CAUTION – USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

This set complies with the EMC Directive 89/336 and with the LVD Directive 73/23.

• Placing the main unit and powered subwoofer in a well
ventilated area is strongly recommended.
Do not place any object on the top of the unit.
Do not block ventilation holes.
The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is used for a long
time, but it is not a malfunction.

Parental control

MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) Guideline is a
rating system that provides advanced cautionary information to
parent about the content of movie programmes.

The parental lock level is equivalent to the following MPAA
Rating System.
Level 7: NC-17 (No one 17 and under admitted)
Level 6: R (Restricted)
Level 4: PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned)
Level 3: PG (Parental guidance suggested)
Level 1: G (General audiences)

Some DVD discs contain a restriction level which enables
parents to prevent play of discs by children. This unit is equipped
with a password designed to prevent children changing the
level.

You cannot play DVD video discs rated higher than the level
you selected unless you cancel the parental lock function.
For example, when you select level “5”, the unit will not play
discs with ratings of “6”, “7” or “8”.
The information will appear on the TV screen.
When you select level “Off”, all DVD video discs can be played
back.

If you forget the password…

1. Remove the disc.

2. Close the tray.
“No Disc” appears on the TV screen.

3. While holding [n STOP] down on the front panel, press [7]
on the remote control for 3 seconds.
“PASSWORD CLEAR” appears on the TV screen.

4. Enter a new password again.

Note:
DVD video discs may or may not respond to the parental lock
settings. Make sure this function works with your DVD video
discs.

9. Press [SETUP/MENU] or [RETURN] to close the screen.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE MAINS LEAD BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.

Cleaning the unit

Clean the outside of the unit with a clean soft cloth moistened with lukewarm water. Do not use benzene, thinner or alcohol since
they will mar the finish of the surfaces.

Video Head Cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during play. 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 play of a known good
tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system
or have them cleaned professionally.

Good Picture Snowy Picture

Video head cleaning

Video head cleaning is needed when the play picture becomes unclear . This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur
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 prof essionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improv e the
picture, play it several times before requesting service.

Notes:

• 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 VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
