Before You Switch On
Place in Position
Using the Remote Control
Choose a location with sufficient air circulation to
prevent overheating. Do not expose the unit to direct
sunlight or other heat sources.
1. Open the battery compartment that
is found on the backside of the remote.
The product must be positioned horizontally. Do not
put any heavy objects on its housing. Protect the
laser unit against dust and if necessary, use a
cleansing disk carefully following its operating
instructions.
Condensation
2. Insert four batteries (1.5 V, size AAA).
Make sure the polarity matches the
marks inside the compartment or the
remote will not work and could
cause damage.
Condensation may cause the laser lens to
malfunction. For example, bringing the unit from a
cold environment to a warm surrounding can
cause condensation, or using the player in humid
environments.
¾
When moving the unit from
a
cold
environment to a warm environment, take the
disk out of the unit and wait for about an hour,
until the unit has warmed.
Do not use this unit in high humidity
environments.
3. Replace the cover and use the remote.
The remote has a range of
approximately 20 feet and works best
when pointed directly at the DVD
player (at angles up to 60° from
the front of the player).
Obstructions between the player
and the remote (like people, pets,
or plants) will diminish the remotes effectiveness.
¾
Handling Disk’s
Touching the shiny surface of disks can leave dirt,
oils or scratches. Always handle the disc from its
label side.
Putting stickers or adhesive labels on the disk can
lead to an imbalance in the disk and cause a
malfunction.
A WORD ABOUT BATTERIES:
•
•
Prevent damage to your remote by
removing batteries prior to storage.
Batteries contain chemical substances.
Used batteries should be disposed of at a
household hazardous waste collection
site.
Do not expose disks to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.
Please store the disks only in their sleeves.
•
•
Never throw batteries into fire, as they
could explode.
Cleaning a Disk
Clean disks with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of
cleaning agent, liquid or solvent. Wipe from the
inside to the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circular
direction.
Do not attempt to recharge a battery
unless the battery specifically is marked
“rechargeable.” Dispose of immediately.
•
Keep all batteries, used or new, out of the
reach of children.

DVD+RW/DVD+R Disk Recording
Starting The Recording Session
1. The quality of the recording to a DVD+RW/+R disc
directly depends on the selection of the recording
mode. Decide on the quality of the recording you

are copy protected. If you try to copy them with the
DVD recorder, the Recorder display may show
“COPY PROTECT”.
Selecting Best, for example, means only one

up any and all titles or tracks you want to save onto
another disc before erasing the original disc!

Check the video cables. Make sure the cable(s) are fastened securely to the Recorder and the TV.
Set your TV to the correct Video In channel. These channels are usually near channel 00. Or, you may have
a button on the TV remote control that selects an Auxiliary or A/V IN channel. See your TV owner’s manual for
details. Or, change channels at the TV until you see the Recorder’s background picture on the TV screen. You
only need one video connection between the DVD Recorder and the TV.
Distorted Picture
Check the disc for fingerprints. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the center to the edge in a
straight line.
Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction. The picture is
distorted; the picture is black and white during playback.
TVs have a color system standard, usually NTSC in the United States. If the disc’s color system is different
than your TV’s color system, the picture may be distorted or colorless.
The Recorder cannot record in color if the TV channel or source is not providing color. In some situations,
programs that are broadcast in black and white cannot be recorded.

Do not connect any cables from the DVD-Recorder to the Stereo’s “PHONO IN” jack.
Do not connect a digital jack on the Recorder (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT - OPTICAL or COAX) to an analog
jack on the Stereo. (Analog audio jacks are usually labeled as such and are usually red and white.)
No Sound
Check the audio connections. Remember, you only need one audio connection. Make sure cables are
connected firmly to all equipment.
Select another channel, sound source, or Auxiliary station at your Stereo or TV. See your Stereo’s manual
or TV’s manual for details. Or, just continue selecting the different sound sources or modes on the Stereo or
TV until you hear sound from the disc that is in the DVD-Recorder.
Check your Analog output settings or Digital output settings. Make sure you choose the right setting; based
on what equipment you connected to the DVD Recorder.
Make sure your Analog output settings or Digital output settings match the capabilities of your Stereo Receiver
or TV.
