Toshiba D-R5SU Owner's Manual page 8

• Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the recorder is turned on. 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.
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Unplug the recorder before cleaning.
• Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
recorder.
• Image and sound quality depend very much on
signal reception.
® Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this
case, consult your dealer or purchase a commercially
available antenna booster. Refer to the booster's
instruction manual for installation details.
• For usual absence
When the recorder is not in use, be sure to remove
any disc that may be in the recorder and turn the
power off.
• Prolonged absence
When the recorder will not be used for a prolonged
period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
® Place the recorder on a level surface. Do not use
it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly
table. Doing so may cause a loaded disc to dislodge
from its proper position and cause damage to the
recorder. Before deciding on a location for the
recorder, make sure that the surface of the location
can withstand the weight of the recorder. Never
place the recorder in an elevated location as it may
accidentally fall and cause injury or property damage.
® If you place the recorder near a TV, radio, or VCR,
the playback picture of the recorder may degrade
and the sound may distort depending on the
condition and location of said equipment. In such
event, it is recommended that you place the recorder
as far away as possible from such other equipment.
• To avoid damage to the recorder, never place or
store the recorder in direct sunlight; hot or humid
areas; or areas subject to excessive dust, smoke
(including cigarette smoke), or vibration.
• When you record/edit important content, make trial
operations beforehand to confirm the recorder can
function properly.
• When the power cord is disconnected or when a
power failure occurs during any operation of this
product, all contents recorded on a disc may be
erased. A DVD-R disc may become unavailable.
• Depending on the channel or program, an excessive
sound input level may cause noise or cut of recorded
sound. Adjust the initial setting of the recording level
when necessary.
• If a program you have set a timer recording includes
copy restriction signals, it may not be recorded. When
programming a recording, confirm that a program you
want to record is not copy-restricted.
• After a power outage the clock display will flash. Set
the clock to the correct time.
• Do not give a shock or shake (especially during
operation).
• Do not use in a place where the temperature rises or
changes rapidly.
