Placement

l Place the recorder on a firm, flat surface.
l Keep away from domestic heating equipment and
direct sunlight.
l In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free
space all around the recorder for adequate
ventilation.
l The lense may cloud over when the DVD recorder
is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings.
Playing a CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the
DVD recorder in a warm environment for two
hours before use, so the moisture can evaporate.
l The recorder should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, no object filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the recorder.

Cleaning discs

Some problems may occur because the disc inside the
recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems clean your
discs regularly, in the following way:
l When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out.
Caution:
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for analogue discs.
Do not use commercially available cleaning discs
to clean the lens, as these discs may damage the
optical unit.

Remote control

Loading the batteries

l Open the battery compartment cover.
l Insert two 'AA' (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside
the battery compartment.
l Close the cover.
Caution:
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline,
etc.). This may reduce the lifetime of the
batteries.
