When left unused for a long period of time, the VCR/DVD should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

No Fingers or Other Objects Inside

Do not put your fingers or objects on the disc tray or the cassette compartment.

• 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 your VCR/DVD may need to be cleaned.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

If there is Noise Interference on the TV While a

Broadcast is being Received

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the VCR/DVD directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD recorder), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

C Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Recorder without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD

Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD recorder, play the disc as you would normally with the audio mode set to “L+R” and use the connection shown above. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS format cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.

• DVD

DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, DTS or MPEG Audio cannot be connected digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD recorder.

The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD recorder.

It may be possible to record “DOLBY DIGITAL” or MPEG Audio via a digital connection if the VCR/DVD output is set to

“DPCM” (Refer to page 27 “Audio Setting”). Analogue recording is possible. but not for DTS recorded audio.
