About the AC adaptor

Be sure to use the supplied AC adaptor.

If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m or more away from the radio.

When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)

Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.

Put this unit near the outlet to make it easy for the interrupting device (plug) to reach it.

About charging errors

When the charging lamp flashes rapidly or slowly, one of the following situations may be to blame.

When the lamp blinks slowly:

The battery may have excessively discharged. It can be recharged but in some cases it may take several hours until regular charging commences.

When the lamp blinks rapidly:

The battery has not been recharged. Remove the battery from the AC adaptor, and try charging it again.

The battery temperature or ambient temperature may be extremely high or low. Wait until the appropriate temperature is restored before charging the battery again. If the battery still fails to charge, something may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor. Contact your dealer.

When the lamp is off:

Charging is completed.

When the lamp is off but charging is not completed, trouble may have occurred in the AC adaptor or the battery. Contact your dealer.

Cautions for use

About the disc

If there is dust, a scratch, or dirt on disc or if it is warped, the following phenomena may occur:

Block noise in playback image

Momentary stop of playback image

Sound interrupted during playback, or abnormal sound

Thumbnail display with shades of blue and white

Disc cannot correctly be recognized

Delay between video and audio

When recording images, this unit may avoid the portions of disc where recording is not possible, due to dust, scratches, etc. (It will pause at such a portion and automatically restart recording.)

When the access lamp is illuminated (during access to the disc), do not open the disc cover, turn off the power, or cause any vibrations or impacts.

DVD-R

For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this unit writes control data to the disc in order to automatically make adjustments when it is inserted and ejected accompanying recording. If the disc has no area for control data to be written, recording may not be possible. To prevent this, do not insert a DVD-R which has been recorded on more than 50 times.

Do not insert a DVD-R recorded on this unit that has not been finalized into a recordable device, such as a DVD recorder. The recorded data may be damaged.
