UNPACKING
When shipping the player, the original shipping carton and packing comes in handy. For
maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory. It is normal for
your changer tray to partially open after you have unpacked the unit. This is a feature designed
to allow easier access to disc inside the tray during diagnostics.
First check and identify the contents of your player package, as listed below:
- DVDR5000
- Remote control
- RCA cables (3) x2 (1 yellow, 1 red, and 1 white)
- Owner’s manual
If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.
Keep the packaging materials as you may need them to transport your player in the future.
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR DVD RECORDER
1. Place the unit on a firm, flat surface.
2. When you place this player near a radio or VCR the playback picture may become poor and/or
distorted. In this situation, move the DVD video player away from the other units.

4. If placed in a cabinet, please allow at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space around the player for
proper ventilation.
TO OBTAIN ACLEAR PICTURE
This player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are
dirty or worn down, the picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend
regular inspection and maintenance (i.e. cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating Environment. For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
