Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling

Note on moisture condensation

When shipping the DVD/VCR, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum 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.

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.

The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity recording of MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.

When a MTS STEREO broadcast is received, “STEREO” will

appear on the screen for about 4 STEREO seconds and the program can

be viewed or recorded in stereo. The Hi-Fi stereo recording procedure is the same as for normal recordings.

Note:

When using a Cable TV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case “STEREO” will not appear and the sound will be in mono.

Output selection

When viewing an MTS stereo TV program, or playing a prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi stereo videotape, press AUDIO SELECT to select how the audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi stereo position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The “R” and “L” positions allow the audio from the Right or Left HiFi channel to be heard over both TV speakers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.

with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer. 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 and in the 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 source. This unit 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 unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

This unit 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. If your unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, this plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type 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

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 into 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

ABOUT LEAD FREE SOLDER (PbF)

Distinction of PbF PCB:

PCBs (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF printing on the PCB. (Please refer to figures.)

Caution:

Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50° F~70° F(30° C~40° C) higher.

Please use a soldering iron with temperature control and adjust it to 650° F ± 20° F (350° C ± 10° C). In case of using high temperature soldering iron, please be careful not to heat too long.

Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100° F/ 600° C).

All products with the printed circuit board with PbF printing must be serviced with lead free solder. When soldering or unsoldering, completely remove all of the solder from the pins or solder area, and be sure to heat the soldering points with the lead free solder until it melts sufficiently.

Recommendations

Recommended lead free solder composition is Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu.
