SERVICING

• Please refer to relevant topics on "Troubleshooting" on pages 72-75 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user- serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned

on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

CLEANING THE CABINET

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing

alcohol, spMts, ammonia or abrasive.

CLEANING DISCS

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do

not wipe in a circular motion. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent,

abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

CLEANING THE DISC LENS

If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to

"Troubleshooting" in this Owner's Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

DISC HANDLING

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.

IR SIGNAL CHECK If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared

signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the

radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control unit is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone): Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared light appears through digital camera, the remote is working.

Dolby Digital Recording

"Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves record-

able disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players." Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs

and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered

during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be

displayed on the screen. Video that is "copy-once only" can only be recorded using a DVD=RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control

information on the screen.

What is "CPRM"? CPRM is a copy protection system with

scramble system regarding the recording of "copy-once" broadcast programs. CPRM stands

for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that

you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those

recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on DVD players that are specifically compatible with

CPRM.
