withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
**************
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment.
High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety always fit the

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!

Do not attach paper or tape to discs.
On cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and
sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the centre

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 5. If region
numbers, which stand for their playable area, are printed
on your DVD video disc and you do not find
5
or
ALL

disc playback will not be allowed by the player. (In this
case, the DVD/VCR will display a message on-screen.)

Sound and movie can be played on this DVD/VCR in
the same way as an audio CD.
• Video CD equipped with PBC function
(Version 2.0)
In addition to operation of a Video CD not equipped
with the PBC function, you can enjoy playback of
interactive software with search function by using the
menu displayed on the TV screen (Menu Playback).
Some of the functions described in this owner’s manual
may not work with some discs.
Playable discs

Install two “R03/AAA” batteries
(supplied),
paying attention to the
polarity diagram in the battery
compartment.
Open the battery compart-
ment cover in the direction of
the arrow.
How to install the batteries
Use micro batteries type R03 (AAA/UM-4 Size).
These batteries are offered as carbon / zinc-type or as alkaline-type. You may use both, but do not mix types. The
alkaline type lasts longer compared to the carbon / zinc type but is more expensive.
Note: Flat, weak batteries will leak. Corrosive electrolyte will damage the remote control.
Leak proof batteries will not leak immediately when they are flat. As long as the remote control is still working,
there is no danger of leakage. To prevent damage, remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control
for a long period of time.
Damage because of leakage is not covered by the guarantee.

Basic connection
Connect your DVD/VCR to your home's aerial and to your TV-set as shown in the illustration.
When you have finished these connections, connect your DVD/VCR to the 230 V / 50 Hz outlet.
In addition to the coaxial cable connection, you should also connect the SCART cable from the DVD/VCR to your
TV as shown. As well as transferring the high quality pictures and sound to your TV, the SCART connection can
automatically switch the TV to its AV channel for playback.
If your TV-set does not switch to video-playback operation automatically, please turn your TV's video switch to
VIDEO position manually.
