These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
$3125A
never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and/or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug, if your unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a groundingtype power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. POWER-CORD
PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
20.

CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the DVD/VCR if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the DVD/VCR's performance will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the DVD/VCR stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the DVD/VCR is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.
In such cases, change the location of the DVD/VCR.

When recording in the VR mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter).
How-
ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31 .)
When recording in the Video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chapters are set automatically. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31 .)
NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD player manufacturer.
Some models of DVD player or DVD-
ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded videos.
• In the Video mode, you can only change the disc name and the title name. Other editing operations cannot be performed.
Disc playback in other players
A disc recorded in this unit can be finalized. The finalized disc can be played back in players other than this unit that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalization, see "FINALIZE" in
"Setting the disc" (page 27).
When recording in the VR mode
Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalize& you can record or edit by cancelling the finalization.
(See
"UNDO FINALIZE" on page 28.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears the following mark.
RW
COMPATIBLE
When recording in the Video mode
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.
After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD player is automatically created.
NOTES:
• The finalization process may require a few minutes to about 1 hour according to disc type or the amount of free space on the disc.
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1 recorded in the Video mode cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but if you format the disc by erasing all the content, you can again record on this disc.
• A finalized disc may not play because of its condition or of the DVD player used for playback.
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback using other players.

Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the DVDfv'CR reads the picture from the tape during playback, in the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy), if this is the case, have the
DVDfv'CR checked by qualified service personnel.
Good Picture Snowy Picture
NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE
REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
