Precautions

Handling the Unit

When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD Recorder+VCR is a high-tech, precision
device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts
are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate the DVD Recorder+VCR immediately
after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
Leave it for two or three hours without operating it. If
you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs/tapes and internal parts.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press
the buttons.
Distance:About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the
remote sensor.
Angle:About 30° in each direction of the front of the
remote sensor.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of
the remote control, and insert two size
AAAbatteries with and aligned
correctly.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.)
Notes on Discs

Handling Discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the
disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the
surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing Discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.
