Care and Safety Information  
CAUTION!  
Cleaning discs  
High voltage! Do not open.  
You run the risk of getting an  
electric shock.  
Some problems occur because the disc  
inside the recorder is dirty (frozen  
picture, sound disruptions, picture  
distortions). To avoid these problems,  
discs should be cleaned on a regular  
basis.  
The machine does not contain any  
user-serviceable parts. Please leave  
all maintenance work to qualified  
personnel.  
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning  
cloth and wipe the disc from the center  
to the edge in a straight line.  
Setup  
Finding a suitable location  
CAUTION!  
Place the set on a flat, hard and stable  
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.  
Do not position the set on top of  
other equipment that might heat it up  
(e.g., receiver or amplifier).  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD  
recorder operates at a higher power than  
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs  
intended for DVD or CD players may  
damage the optical unit (laser).Therefore,  
refrain from using a cleaning CD.  
Do not put anything under the set  
(e.g., CDs, magazines).  
Space for ventilation  
Place the apparatus in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent internal  
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5)  
clearance from the rear and the top of  
the set and 5cm (2.3) from the left and  
right to prevent overheating.  
About recycling  
These operating instructions have been  
printed on non-polluting paper. This  
electronic equipment contains a large  
number of materials that can be recycled.  
If you are disposing of an old machine,  
please take it to a recycling center. Please
