pool, and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting
of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's
instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. An appliance

of the product and to protect it from overheating,
and these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the

product should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been
adhered to.

10. Power Sources - This product should be operated only

from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply
to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.

13. Lightning - For added protection for this product during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

14. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

qualified technician to restore the product to its normal
operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

PRECAUTIONS

Maintenance

Servicing

• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING”
on pages 85-88 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, spirits, 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.

Auto head cleaning

• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or
remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated
on the video heads after a long period of use, or the
usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If
a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the
video heads in your unit may need to be cleaned.

1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a
good quality VHS video head cleaner.

2. If a video head cleaner does not solve the problem,
please consult your dealer or an Authorized Service
Center.

Note

• Remember to read the instructions along with the video
head cleaner before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

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 station 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 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 control 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 recordable 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.

Finalizing a Disc

Introduction

You will need to finalize discs to play back on other DVD
players.

Finalizing may take several minutes up to an hour.
Since the process of the finalization fills empty space of

the disc, a shorter recording period on the disc will
require a longer time period for finalization. Do not
unplug the power cord during finalization.
