Unit care

The precision parts in the unit are readily affected by the environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.

To clean the unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Never use alcohol, thinner or benzine to clean the unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the

instructions that came with the cloth.

Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and viewing pleasure.

Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it impossible to record or play discs.

Use the DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720PP) about once every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Note

≥Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

Video cassette information

∫Video cassettes

≥Break off the video cassette’s tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with tape when you want to use the video cassette for recording again.

≥You can use video cassettes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but the unit is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS video cassettes.

Tab

∫Video cassette care

≥Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully and discard them when they become dirty or damaged.

≥Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

∫Maintenance

Cleaning the video heads

Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.

If the picture does not improve, use an optional head-cleaning cassette (part number NV-TCL30PT). If the problem persists, seek advice from a qualified service person.
