English

CAUTION!

High voltage! Do not open the device. You run the risk of getting an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.

Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier).

Do not put anything above or under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).

Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Space for ventilation

Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the centre to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analogue discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.
