PRECAUTIONS

Servicing

• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING” on pages 113-116 before returning the product.

• If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of your product before you call. This information is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If you believe the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

• Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to clean the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the unit. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or damage the unit.

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.

Maintenance

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.

IR Signal Check

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.

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the infrared sensor window on the unit.

• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the infrared sensor window of the unit.

• Remote control for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remote control for other device located close to the unit.

• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the operating range of the remote control.

• The maximum operable ranges from the unit are as follows.

- Line of sight: approx. 23 feet (7m)

*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.

Note

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMIDVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.
