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 for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the 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 dram 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 dram

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 come off the proper position and cause damage to 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.

CATV (CABLE TV) connections

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This

DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

Frequently asked questions

You can connect the DVD/VCR to your TV using a standard audio/video cable. Ensure both units are powered off and unplugged before making any connections. If your television set has one audio input, connect the left and right audio outputs of the DVD/VCR to a Y cable adapter and then connect to your TV. It is recommended to connect the DVD/VCR directly to your TV for optimal picture quality.

This DVD/VCR does not have a built-in descrambler, so you cannot record scrambled cable channels. To record scrambled channels, you will need to use a descrambler box from your cable company. Consult your local cable company for details on their descrambler services.

You can set the clock using the CALL button on the remote control. Refer to the section "Clock Setting" in your DVD/VCR's manual for detailed instructions.
