8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.
8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation,
to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat

To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit
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 electric light
or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact
with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

Introduction
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
to contact the DVD/VCR for a prolonged period. 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 the video cassette 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 the 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.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product’s instructions.
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.

Inserting batteries
Introduction
Open the battery
compartment cover in the
1
direction of the arrow.
Caution:
Never throw batteries into a fire.
Notes:
Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
•
Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
•
Batteries should always be disposed of with the environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with
•
applicable laws and regulations.
•
If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new
