Introduction
Your DVDR313 design combines the function a quality of a DVD player and recorder. As a
DVD player, you will be able to enjoy full length movies with true cinema picture quality, and
stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the disc and your playback system). Unique
features of this player include YUV & S-video outputs for greater picture quality.
What's more, as a DVD Video Recorder, it has some of the key features that allow you to
record programs conveniently such as:
A complete DVD+R/DVD+RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW recorder.
Preset recording
Playback of pre-recorded or user-recorded DVDs and CDs
View, edit and play from a pre-recorded DVD+RW/DVD-RW.
UNPACKING
When shipping the player, the original shipping carton and packing comes in handy. For maximum
protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory. It is normal for your changer tray to
partially open after you have unpacked the unit. This is a feature designed to allow easier access to disc
inside the tray during diagnostics.
First check and identify the contents of your player package, as listed below:
- DVDR313
- Remote control
- RCA cables (3) x 2 (1 yellow, 1 red, 1 white)
- Owner's manual
- Size AAA batteries (2)
If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.
Keep the packaging materials as you may need them to transport your player in the future.
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR DVD RECORDER
1. Place the unit on a firm, flat surface.
2. When you place this player near a radio or VCR the playback picture may become poor and/or
distorted. In this situation, move the DVD video player away from the other units.
3. Keep away from direct sunlight & domestic heating equipment.
4. If placed in a cabinet, please allow at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space around the player for
proper ventilation.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE
This player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (i.e. cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
