Introduction
Precautions
Notes on handling
When shipping the DVD/VCR, 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 DVD/VCR. Do not leave rubber or plastic products to contact the DVD/VCR for a prolonged period. They will leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the DVD/VCR may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
When the DVD/VCR is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and the video cassette turn off the power.
If you do not use the DVD/VCR for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD/VCR occasionally.
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD/VCR.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the head drum or the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD/VCR.
Exam ple of moisture condensation!
Tape
Head drum
Notes on locating
Place the DVD/VCR on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or inclined stand. The loaded disc or the video tape may become dis-aligned and damage the DVD/
VCR.
When you place this DVD/VCR near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/
VCR away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.
When you bring the DVD/VCR directly from a cold place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD/VCR in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the DVD/VCR in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
When you use the DVD/VCR in a humid place.
It’s too warm!
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.

DVD/VCR checked and cleaned by qualified service personnel.
