Notes on moisture condensation

When shipping the unit, 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 unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and the video cassette turn off the power.

If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit occasionally.

Notes on locating

Place the unit 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 come off the proper position and cause damage to the unit.

When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio or VCR.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the unit.

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Moisture condensation damages the unit. 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 unit.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place.

When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

When you use the unit in a humid place.

Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc or the video tape, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Wait!
