EXCLUSION CLAUSE

Precautions

Notes on handling

When shipping the DVD/VCR, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For fully protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory. Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD/VCR. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD/VCR for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. The top and rear panels of the DVD/VCR may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction. When the DVD/VCR is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power. If you do not use the DVD/VCR for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD/VCR occasionally.

Notes on locating

Place the DVD/VCR on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined stand. The loaded disc or video tape may become dis-aligned and damage the DVD/VCR. When you place this DVD/VCR near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/ VCR away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

Use a dry cloth to wipe. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD/ VCR.

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD/VCR. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the head drum or the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD/VCR.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

When you bring the DVD/VCR directly from a cold place to a warm place. When you use the DVD/VCR in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit. In summer, when you use the DVD/VCR in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room. When you use the DVD/VCR in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD/VCR when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD/VCR in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc or the video tape, connect the power cord of the DVD/VCR to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD/VCR, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD/VCR will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD/VCR connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Wait!

It’s too

warm!

How to install the batteries

Use micro batteries type UM-4 (R03/AAA-Size). These batteries are offered as carbon / zinc-type or as alkaline-type. You may use both, but do not mix types. The alkaline type lasts longer compared to the carbon / zinc type but is more expensive. Note: Flat, weak batteries will leak. Corrosive electrolyte will damage the remote control.

Leak proof batteries will not leak immediately when they are flat. As long as the remote control is still working, there is no danger of leakage. To prevent damage, remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control for a long period of time.

Damage because of leakage is not covered by the guarantee.

Open the battery compart-

ment cover in the direction of the arrow.

Distance of Remote Control Operation

approx.

The remote control will not work properly in the following cases:

If bright sunlight directly beams onto the unit front.

If the batteries have not been installed according to their polarities.

Install two "R03/AAA" batteries

paying attention to the

(supplied), polarity diagram in the battery compartment.

Effective angle: approx. 60°

Point the remote control directly at the remote sensor.

If an obstacle is placed between the unit and the remote control.

If the batteries are weak.

Replace the compartment cover.

Basic connection

Connect your DVD/VCR to your home's aerial and to your TV-set as shown in the illustration. When you have finished these connections, connect your DVD/VCR to the 230 V / 50 Hz mains.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES:•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE

REAR COVER. Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
