Introduction
Precautions
Notes on handling
Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the recorder is not in standby mode, unless it is
in an emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
When shipping the recorder, 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 recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the recorder for a long time. They will
leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the recorder may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When not in use
For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder and turn
off the power.
Prolonged absence
Unplug the recorder from a wall outlet.
Notes on locating
Place the recorder on a level surface. Do not use it on
a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or
inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its
proper position and cause damage to the recorder.
Before placing the recorder, make sure that the
surface can stand the weight of the recorder. For
safety, avoid placing the recorder in a high location, as
an accidental fall of the recorder may cause personal
injury.
When you place this recorder near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted depending on the condition
and location of said equipment. In such an event,
place the recorder as far away much as possible from
the TV, radio, or VCR.
Do not install this product in an area where it will be
exposed to large amounts of oily smoke, steam or
dust, as such exposure could result in fire or electric
shock. Cigarette smoke, dust etc. can cause the
product to malfunction.

Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth (containing a mild
detergent) to wipe the unit. Ensure the unit is
unplugged before you do this. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
recorder.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product's instructions.
To obtain a clear picture
The recorder is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality deteriorates. To obtain a clear
picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000
hours of use depending on the operating environment.
For details, contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on antennas
Image and sound quality depend very much on signal
reception.
Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this
event, consult your dealer, or purchase a commercially
available antenna booster. Refer to the booster's
instruction manual for installation details.
