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.

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.

It’s too warm!

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!
