8. ACCESSORIES  
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.  
The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.  
8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,  
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart  
combination to overturn.  
9. VENTILATION  
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation,  
and to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating.  
S3126A  
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should 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 or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.  
10. POWER SOURCE  
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 respective pages on this Own-  
er's Manual for their 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. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your unit may be  
equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into  
a grounding-type 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

Introduction  
(Continued)  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
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.  
14. POWER LINES  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric  
light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an  
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits,  
as contact with them might be fatal.  
15. OVERLOADING  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY  
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short  
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.  
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the  
National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the  
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for  
the grounding electrode.  
18. SERVICING  
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
For example:  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. 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.  
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by  
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
20. SAFETY CHECK  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.  
21. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
22. DISC TRAY  
Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury.  
23. CONNECTING  
When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from  
the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's  
manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.  
24. SOUND VOLUME  
Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume  
sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.  
25. SOUND DISTORTION  
Do not allow the product output distorted sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.  
26. HEADPHONES  
When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continu-  
ously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

27. LASER BEAM  
Do not look into the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the  
laser beam. It may cause sight damage.  
28. DISC  
Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious  
personal injury and product malfunction.  
29. NOTE TO CABLE TV SYSTEM INSTALLER  
This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that  
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-  
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Introduction  
Precautions  
Notes on handling  
Notes on moisture condensation  
When shipping the unit, 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 unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave  
marks on the finish.  
Moisture condensation damages the unit. 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 unit.  
The top and rear panels of the unit may become  
warm after a long period of use. This is not a  
malfunction.  
o
f
n
s
Tape  
When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc  
and the video cassette turn off the power.  
If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit  
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and  
use the unit occasionally.  
Head drum  
Moisture condensation occurs during the  
following cases.  
Notes on locating  
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a  
warm place.  
Place the unit 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 unit.  
When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,  
the playback picture may become poor and the sound  
may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away  
from the TV, radio, or VCR.  
When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid  
place just after you move the unit from an air  
conditioned room.  
When you use the unit in a humid place.  
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.  
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and  
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the unit.  
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,  
follow that product’s instructions.  
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation  
may occur.  
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage  
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc or the video  
tape, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall  
outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three  
hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have  
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the  
unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture  
condensation will seldom occur.  
To obtain a clear picture  
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the  
video head, the head drum, the optical pick-up lens and  
disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture  
quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we  
recommend regular inspection and maintenance  
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of  
use depending on the operating environment. For  
details, contact your nearest dealer.

Cable TV connections  
This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box.  
Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for  
normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.  
For subscribers to basic cable TV service  
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler  
box, connect the Cable TV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the  
Antenna jack on the back of the unit.

For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service  
If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the  
incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect  
the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown  
below. Set the unit to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the  
converter/descrambler box to select channels.

If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the  
use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the  
cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”  
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your unit. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your

Closed captions  
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?  
This television has the capability to decode and display closed captioned  
television programs. Closed captioning will display text on the screen for  
hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another  
language.  
CLOSED CAPTION  
Closed captions  
Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending  
on the setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).  
Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other lan-  
guages are transmitted on captions channel 2.  
Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information.  
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.  
If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will reappear when the  
signal is received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
The captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the  
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen.  
Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer  
can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words  
requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.  
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol  
(CC).  
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS  
Press CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the two closed  
caption modes (captions and full screen text). Closed captioning will display text  
on the screen for hearing impaired viewers.

CAPTION  
SKIP  
Notes:  
• When selecting closed captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.  
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning,  
especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not  
allow time for editing.  
• When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with closed  
captions.  
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or may appear with  
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

The zero return function provides a convenient method of rap-

starting point can be indexed for any location on the tape by  
pressing COUNTER RESET and ZERO RETURN.  
Video head clogging  
The video heads are the means by  
which the unit 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 deter-  
mined 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 unit checked  
by qualified service personnel.

Video head cleaning  
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture  
becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty  
and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If  
the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical  
non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned  
professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once  
does not improve the picture, play it several times before  
requesting service.

may appear on the TV screen while playing a DVD video disc because the high  
resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of information. While the amount of

• Resuming cannot function when you play a PBC-featured Video CD while the PBC is on. To turn off the PBC, see page 52.  
• Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this unit plays DVDs according  
to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also refer to the  
instructions supplied with the DVDs.  
• Do not move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.  
• Use the OPEN/CLOSE button to open and close the disc tray. Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may

Reception disturbances  
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF  
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television  
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a Cable TV  
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.  
IGNITION  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or  
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,  
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair  
dryers.  
GHOSTS  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is  
the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other  
large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may  
improve the reception.  
SNOW  
If the unit is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area  
where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.  
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external  
antenna may be necessary.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving  
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a  
loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of  
the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.  
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION  
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST  
or BRIGHTNESS settings.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.  
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.  
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
