PRECAUTIONS  
NOTES ON HANDLING:  
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:  
DVD: The DVD player is a high technology, precision  
device. If 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  
When shipping the player, always use the original  
shipping carton and packing materials. 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 player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the player for a long time. They will leave  
marks on the finish.  
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.  
VCR: See page 55 for video head cleaning instructions.  
The top and rear panels of the player may become  
warm after a long period of use. This is normal and  
not a malfunction.  
When the player is not in use, be sure to remove the  
disc and turn off the power.  
If you do not use the player for a long period, the unit  
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and  
use the player occasionally.  
Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the  
cassette-loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax  
directly on the VCR or use forced air to remove dust.  
Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a  
horizontal (flat) position only.  
When you finish operating the unit, always unload the  
cassette and turn off the power.  
To protect the player during a lightning storm, unplug  
the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Do not touch  
the antenna leads.  
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:  
Moisture condensation damages the player. 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 optical pick-up  
lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal  
parts of the player.  
Moisture condensation occurs during the following  
cases:  
When you bring the player directly from a cold place  
to a warm place.  
When you use the player 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 player in a hot and  
humid place just after you moved the unit from an air  
conditioned room.  
NOTES ON LOCATING THE UNIT:  
When you place this player near a TV or radio, the  
playback picture may become poor and the sound  
may be distorted. In this case, move the player away  
from the TV or radio.  
When you use the player in a humid place.  
Do not use the player when moisture condensation  
may occur.  
If you use the player in such a situation, it may  
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,  
connect the power cord of the player to the wall outlet,  
turn on the player and leave it “ON” for two or three  
hours. After two or three hours, the player will have  
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the  
player connected to the wall outlet and moisture  
condensation will seldom occur.  
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 benzene, as they may damage the surface of the  
player.  
If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit,  
follow that product’s instructions.  
Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or  
other components of playback mechanism should be  
performed by a qualified service technician.

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 CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the  
rear of the unit.  
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE  
If you subscribe to a satellite service or 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 cable, connect the output of  
the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown below. Set the unit  
to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or  
satellite box to select channels.

When playing an MP3, the selected file will appear in the display and will list the folders/tracks.  
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG Audio is a format that compresses the audio portion only.  
IMPORTANT NOTES:  
Due to many variables, including recording condition, type of disc, writing software, etc., this unit does not guarantee  
playback of all MP3 discs.  
DISC TYPES:  
DVD  
Data on most DVDs is divided into sections called “titles”  
and then into subsections called “chapters”, each of which  
is given a title or chapter number. Some features of this  
player will not operate with some DVD discs as they are  
preset. If a function you selected does not run as desired,  
refer to the manual accompanying the DVD disc.  
AUDIO CD  
Data on an audio CD is divided into sections called “tracks”,  
each of which is given a track number.  
KODAK PICTURE CD  
Data on a Kodak picture CD is usually not divided into  
separate folders, they should appear in the root directory.  
IMPORTANT:  
It is important that you read the manual that accompanies the DVD disc, as there are features that are  
on the player that cannot be used with certain DVDs. There are also extra features on the DVD disc  
that are different for each DVD disc, so they are not explained in this owner’s manual.  
This player conforms to the NTSC and PAL color systems. However, if you are in  
the USA, leave this setting on NTSC. If incorrectly set to PAL, the TV picture will  
roll vertically. In this case, simply turn the unit off, and then back on.

NOTES:  
To use the TVG® captioning feature while watching a DVD, your TV must be capable of displaying Closed Captions (CC). Set your  
TV CC to “CC2” or “C2” and this unit to “CC2”.  
TVG® filters 95% of foul language in closed captioned words; TVG® does not filter out scenes or do “voice-overs”. Errors in the CC  
can cause TVG® to miss words/phrases. TVG® works on media that includes CC information. You can verify whether a DVD  
supports CC by looking for the CC logo on the back cover of the DVD case.  
Replaced CC phrases are available through the TV’s CC Decoder. If your TV doesn’t have a CC Decoder, replaced phrases may  
not be available. In this case, TVG® will just mute the filtered language.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Caring for Discs  
Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted  
side of the disc.  
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.  
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If  
necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).  
When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the outer edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular  
motions.  
Z
Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.  
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme  
temperatures can warp the disc.  
Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.  
Cleaning the Unit  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.  
The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and  
wiping the plastic parts.  
Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING/CLEANING  
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING  
The video heads are the means by which the VCR reads pictures 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 determined 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 video cassette recorder checked by qualified service personnel.  
Good Picture  
Snowy Picture  
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING  
This VCR has a built-in head cleaning system that cleans the heads whenever a tape is inserted or ejected. However,  
cleaning still may be necessary when the playback picture becomes unclear. The heads can get dirty 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 VCR once does not improve the  
picture, play it several times before requesting service.  
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.  
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality Video Cassette Tapes. Disregard worn out tapes.
