Precautions
Notes on handling
When shipping the DVD/VCR, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For fully
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed
at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the DVD/VCR. Do not leave rubber or plastic products
in contact with the DVD/VCR for a long time. They will
leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the DVD/VCR may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When the DVD/VCR is not in use, be sure to remove
the disc and turn off the power.
If you do not use the DVD/VCR for a long period, the
unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on
and use the DVD/VCR occasionally.
Notes on locating
Place the DVD/VCR on a level surface. Do not use it
on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling
table or inclined stand. The loaded disc or video tape
may become dis-aligned and damage the DVD/VCR.
When you place this DVD/VCR near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/
VCR away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Use a dry cloth to wipe.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD/
VCR.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product’s instructions.
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD/VCR.
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 head drum or the optical
pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the DVD/VCR.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases:
When you bring the DVD/VCR directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD/VCR 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/VCR in a hot and
humid place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the DVD/VCR in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD/VCR when moisture
condensation may occur.
If you use the DVD/VCR in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc or the
video tape, connect the power cord of the DVD/VCR to
the wall outlet, turn on the DVD/VCR, and leave it for two
or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD/VCR
will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD/VCR connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
It’s too
warm!
Wait!

About this owner’s manual
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions of
this DVD/VCR. Some DVD video discs are produced in a
manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the DVD/VCR may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the DVD/
VCR. Refer to instruction notes of discs.
The following symbol may appear on the TV screen
during operation.
It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD/
VCR or the disc.
For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the playback
of copyright message of the disc when the STOP ( )
button is pressed. Alternatively, this symbol may also
indicate that the feature is not available for the disc.
Notes on region numbers
The region number of this DVD/VCR is 2. If region
numbers, which stand for their playable area, are printed
on your DVD video disc and you do not find
