Maintenance

SERVICING

• Please refer to relevant topics on Troubleshooting on pages 77-80 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

CLEANING THE CABINET

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

CLEANING DISCS

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

CLEANING THE DISC LENS

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to

“Troubleshooting” in this Owner’s Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

DISC HANDLING

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.

AUTO HEAD CLEANING

• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in the unit may need to be cleaned.

1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.

2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please call our help line mentioned on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

NOTES:

• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

IR SIGNAL CHECK

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control unit is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared light appears through digital camera, the remote is working.

Dolby Digital Recording

“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD.

DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players.”

Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, “DVD REC indicator” on the front panel flashes and Timer Recording cannot be performed. In some cases, “DVD REC indicator” flashes momentarily around the Timer starting time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

• If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment, “VCR REC indicator” on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.

• After step 9 on page 30, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either DVD or VCR) for another recording by pressing [STANDBY-ON] during timer standby. During Timer Recording, press [SELECT] on the front panel, or [DVD ] or [VCR ] on the remote control. Note that you cannot change channels after Timer

Recording started. You can use all recording/recording pause/the One-touch Timer Recording functions. However, the unit will begin receiving channel signals for Timer Recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time. Unless the program that you are currently recording using the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on the same channel with the one programmed for Timer Recording, the unit prioritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be automatically stopped. If the channels set for Timer recording and the current recording are same, the current recording will continue without interruption.

• When all the Timer Recording is completed, TIMER REC indicator flashes. To play or eject the recorded disc, press

[STANDBY-ON] first, and then press [PLAY B] or [OPEN/CLOSE A].

• If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer

Recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by pressing

[TIMER SET] during timer standby or stop recording by pressing [STOP C] on the front panel during Timer Recording.

• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc or tape reaches the end during the recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by pressing

[TIMER SET], insert a new disc or tape, and then press [TIMER SET] again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit automatically ejects the tape when it reaches the end. You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.

• When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be cleared for redoing.

• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [TIMER SET].

• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the same channel and time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.
