Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling
When shipping the DVD/VCR, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For fully
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at
the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the DVD/VCR. Do not leave rubber or plastic products
to contact the DVD/VCR for a prolonged period. They
will leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the DVD/VCR may
become warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When the DVD/VCR is not in use, be sure to remove the
disc and the video cassette turn off the power.
If you do not use the DVD/VCR for a long period, the
unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and
use the DVD/VCR occasionally.
Notes on locating
Place the DVD/VCR 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
become dis-aligned and damage the DVD/VCR.
When you place this DVD/VCR near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/
VCR away from the TV, radio or VCR.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Use a dry cloth to wipe.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD/
VCR.

Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD/VCR.
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 DVD/VCR.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the DVD/VCR directly from a cold place
to a warm place.
When you use the DVD/VCR 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 DVD/VCR in a hot and
humid place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the DVD/VCR in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD/VCR when moisture
condensation may occur.
If you use the DVD/VCR in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc or
the video tape, connect the power cord of the DVD/VCR
to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD/VCR, and leave it for
two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD/
VCR will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the DVD/VCR connected to the wall outlet and
moisture condensation will seldom occur.
