Placement

•Place the recorder on a firm, flat surface.

•Keep 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.

•The lense may cloud over when the DVD recorder is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the DVD recorder in a warm environment for two hours before use, so the moisture can evaporate.

•The recorder should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the recorder.

Cleaning discs

Some problems may 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 from the centre out.

Caution:

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

•Open the battery compartment cover.

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

•Close 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.
