(13)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

(14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Precautions for installation

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

∫Cautions as to condensation

Condensation can cause unreliable playback of VHS recordings. Condensation may form in the following cases,

≥The unit is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated room. ≥The unit is suddenly brought from cool surroundings, such as an

air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid. ≥During the rainy season.

In any of the above-mentioned conditions, do not operate the unit for at least 2 hours. The unit is not equipped with a dew sensor.

∫Other precautions for installation

≥The unit should not be installed or operated near large magnets or electromagnetic devices. Such devices can damage pre-recorded VHS recordings.

≥Do not place any heavy objects atop the unit, and do not install it in a confined space. Please allow for adequate air circulation.

≥The unit should not be mounted in a vertical position. It’s designed to operate in the horizontal position.

≥Pages to be referred to are indicated as (l ±±).

≥The explanations concerning discs are indicated by [DVD], and those concerning video are indicated by [VHS].

Useful features

You can enjoy both DVD and VHS with the unit.

This DVD Recorder can record images and sounds in high quality to rapid random access capable DVD media. This has resulted in many new features that outperform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these features.

ªDVD

Progressive output (l 15, 19)

If you connect the unit with a progressive output-compatible TV, you can enjoy higher-quality and less-flickerimages than conventional TVs (of the interlace output type) can present.

Finalize (l 31)

This function enables you to play recorded DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD- Video format) and +R on other players.

Instant play (l 33)

This function can quickly find and play a video program you wish to watch. Direct Navigator guides you to the beginning of a previously recorded video immediately.

Quick view (l 21)

This function allows you to watch news, information and other programs in a short time.

Chasing play (l 27)

There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without stopping recording, you can play the video currently being recorded from its beginning.

Instant recording (l 25)

You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins recording right away.

Simultaneous recording and play (l 27)

With this function, you can play a previously recorded video program while recording another program.

Time slip (l 22, 27)

This function enables you to jump to the scene you specify during play and also while recording.

One touch transfer (dub) (l 57, 59)
