Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your Recorder in the future.

Placement

•Place the Recorder on a firm, flat surface.

•Keep the DVD Recorder away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

•In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all around the Recorder for adequate ventilation.

•Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

•The lens may cloud over when the DVD Recorder is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing or recording a disc is not possible then. Leave the DVD Recorder in a warm environment for two hours before use, so the moisture can evaporate.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the Recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems, clean your discs regularly in the following way:

•When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from the center out to the edge.

Caution:

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to clean the lens, as these discs may damage the optical unit.

Remote control

Loading the batteries

•Remove the battery compartment cover.

•Insert two 'AA' (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment.

•Replace the cover.

Caution:

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.). This may reduce the lifetime of the batteries.
