SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION : Before servicing the VCR+DVD covered by this service data and its supplements and addends, read and follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. NOTE : if unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions in this publications, always follow the safety precautions.

Remembers Safety First:

General Servicing Precautions

1.Always unplug the VCR+DVD AC power cord from the AC power source before:

(1)Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board, module, or any other assembly.

(2)Disconnection or reconnecting any internal electrical plug or other electrical connection.

(3)Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor.

Caution : A wrong part substitution or incorrect polarity installation of electrolytic capacitors may result in an explosion hazard.

2.Do not spray chemicals on or near this VCR+DVD or any of its assemblies.

3.Unless specified otherwise in this service data, clean electrical contacts by applying an appropriate contact cleaning solution to the contacts with a pipe cleaner, cotton-tipped swab, or comparable soft applicator.

Unless specified otherwise in this service data, lubrication of contacts is not required.

4.Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with whitch instruments covered by this service manual might be equipped.

5.Do not apply AC power to this VCR+DVD and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks are cerrectly installed.

6.Always connect test instrument ground lead to the appropriate ground before connection the test instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground lead last.

Insulation Checking Procedure

Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the power on. Connect an insulation resistance meter(500V) to the blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts (Note 1) should be more than 1Mohm.

Note 1 : Accessible Conductive Parts including Metal panels, Input terminals, Earphone jacks, etc.

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and semiconductor chip components.

The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1.Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2.After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.

3.Use only a grouned-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4.Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified a “anti-static” can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.

5.Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.

6.Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protec tive package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil, or comparable conductive material).

7.Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

Caution : Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

8.Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Normally harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES device.)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.

OThe DVD+VCR’s clock will be set automatically when automatic tuning has finished. If the clock is wrong please see “Setting the clock Manually” on page 14.

OPlease note currently only a limited number of TV companies transmit the Programme Delivery Control (PDC) signal which enables your DVD+VCR to successfully identify and store them. If your DVD+VCR has difficulty in identifying a TV station please turn the page to find out how to manually tune in and name a TV station. While automatic tuning is taking place the time and date will set automatically. If - - :- - appears in the DVD+VCR display it means that the broadcast signal is weak and the clock was not set. Please turn to CLOCK SET section of this book on page 14.

One-touch Timer Recording (OTR)

Your VCR allows you to make recordings using a variety of simple methods:

One-touch Timer Recording (OTR) start recording immediately for a set period of time or until the video cassette runs out.

Your DVD+VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality when using LP.

1	Make sure that you have correctly connected your
	VCR as described earlier in this book.
	Press +/1 to turn on your VCR.
2	Insert a video cassette with protection tab into your
	VCR.
	The video cassette should have the window side
	facing up and the arrow facing away from you.

3 Press PR/TRK + or - to select the programme number you wish to record.

You may also directly select programme number using the numbered buttons on the remote control.

AV 1 for recording from EURO AV1 SCART socket on the rear of your unit.

AV 2 for recording from EURO AV2 SCART socket on the rear of your unit.

AV 3 for recording from VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN (Left & Right) sockets on the front of your unit.

5 Press SP/LP if you wish to record in Long Play or Standard Play.

SP will produce improved picture and sound quality, however LP will provide twice as much recording time as SP.

6 Press REC/OTR on the remote to start recording. RECORD will appear on the TV screen.

Press REC on your unit or press REC/OTR on the remote several times. Each successive press will increase the record time by 30 minutes until you reach a maximum of 9 hours.

7	Press PAUSE/STILL X/C to avoid recording
	unwanted scenes.

Press PAUSE/STILL X/C to continue recording.

Tapes can be paused for up to 5 minutes; RECP will be displayed when a tape is paused. After 5 minutes your DVD+VCR will stop recording to prevent damaging the tape or your DVD+VCR.

8 Press STOP x to end recording. Press EJECT Z.

EJECT will appear on the TV screen for a few seconds.

Notes

zIf you do not wish to record on a tape (this can happen quite easily by accident!) remove the protection tab on the back edge of the video cassette.

zIt is possible to record on a video cassette with the record protection tab removed by covering the hole with self adhesive tape.

zRemember you can record one programme while watching another by starting your instant recording, press TV/VCR to select TV mode and then selecting a different channel on your TV.
