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 and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be

PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON HANDLING:
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:
The DVD recorder 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 environment.
For details, contact your nearest dealer.
•
When shipping the DVD recorder, 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 DVD recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the DVD recorder for a long
time. They will leave marks on the finish.
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:
Moisture condensation damages the DVD recorder.
Please read the following carefully.
•
•
The top and rear panels of the DVD recorder may
become warm after a long period of use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
When the DVD recorder is not in use, be sure to
remove the disc and turn off the power.
•
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 DVD recorder.
• If you do not use the DVD recorder for a long period,
the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn
on and use the DVD recorder occasionally.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases:
NOTES ON LOCATING THE DVD recorder:
•
When you place this DVD recorder near a TV, radio or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD
recorder away from the TV, radio or VCR.
•
When you bring the DVD recorder directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
•
When you use the DVD recorder 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 DVD recorder in a hot
and humid place just after you moved the unit from an
air conditioned room.
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
DVD recorder.
When you use the DVD recorder in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD recorder when moisture
condensation may occur.
•
If you use the DVD recorder in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the DVD recorder to the
wall outlet, turn on the DVD recorder and leave it
“ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours,
the DVD recorder will have warmed up and
•
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.
evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD recorder
connected to the wall outlet and moisture
POWER SOURCE
Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V,
60Hz.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the possibility of
electric shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut
the wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete
outlet.

PROGRESSIVE (YUV) VIDEO OUT:
Use these jacks to connect to a TV with progressive video input jacks. Progressive scan is a video scanning system that
displays all lines in a frame in one pass, as opposed to the traditional system, interlaced scan. This connection provides
optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for connections. Note that it is essential
to match the color-coded connectors with a compatible TV. Press the I/P button on the remote to change between the
Progressive and Interlace modes.
525 LINE DIGITAL PROGRESSIVE-SCAN COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV
or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)
For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV. While in the
Stop mode, press the I/P button on the remote control to switch between Progressive Scan and Interlace Scan or change
the settings in the GENERAL setup menu.

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.
