FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION

•Do not damage the power cord.

•When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit.

•If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a malfunction may result. Use in an area where there is low humidity and little dust.

•Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.

•Do not use the unit in areas where extremes in temperature occur (below 40°F (5°C) or exceeding 95°F (35°C)), or where it may be exposed to direct sunlight.

•Because of the DVD recorder extremely low noise and wide dynamic range, there is a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing so may produce an excessively high output from the amplifier which can cause damage to your speakers. Please be careful in this regard.

•Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the unit. Under this condition the unit may be unable to operate properly. If this should occur, remove the disc and allow the unit to adjust to the surrounding temperature.

•When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which may be inside and turn the power off. Then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet after 10 seconds. Carrying the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or the unit.

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

CAUTION:

The unit must be operated in a horizontal position only. The unit must be placed in a well ventilated area.

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, however it is not a malfunction.
