PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON HANDLING:
• 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.
• 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 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.
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.
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.
• 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.
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
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
VCR: See page 55 for video head cleaning instructions.
