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
CAUTION!
Finding a suitable location
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
– 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).
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
observe the local regulations regarding
disposal of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries, and old equipment.
