PRECAUTIONS

Servicing

• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING”

on pages 90-94 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct

the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and
please call our help line mentioned on the front page
to locate an Authorized Service Center.

Cleaning the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing
alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

Cleaning discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning

cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do not
wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive
cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog
records.

Cleaning the disc lens

• If this unit still does not perform properly

although you refer to the relevant sections and to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in this owner's manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer
or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and
cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

Disc handling

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not

adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is

not used.

Auto head cleaning

• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or

remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted

while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt
accumulated on the video heads after a long period of
use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this
problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during
playback, the video heads in your unit may need to be
cleaned.

Maintenance

1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a

good quality VHS video head cleaner.

2. If a video head cleaner does not solve the problem,

please consult your dealer or an Authorized Service
Center.

Note
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video

head cleaner before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

IR signal check

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test
if the remote control sends out the infrared signal with
AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera
of cellular phone). It will help to define the cause of
malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a station with no
broadcasting. Press a button on remote
control toward the radio. Sound will be
fluttering when you press any key and the
radio receives the signal. This means the
remote control is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in

camera of cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control,
press and hold a button on remote control.
If infrared light appears through digital
camera, the remote control is working.

Dolby Digital Recording

“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable
DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of
PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allow-
ing for higher video resolution or extended recording
time on each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital
Recording will play back on all DVD-video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with
actual recordable DVD discs.
