SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical
equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
**************
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter- connections between
the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and
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
manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your
family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any
way -switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL
—NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case -
this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind
—it is better to be safe than sorry!

Precautions
Notes on handling
Notes on moisture condensation
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.
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.
The top and rear panels of the DVD/VCR may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
o
f
n
s
Tape
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.
Head drum
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases:
Notes on locating
When you bring the DVD/VCR directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
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.
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.
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.
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.

How to install the batteries
Use micro batteries type UM-4 (R03/AAA-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 handset.
Leak proof batteries will not leak immediately when they are flat. As long as the handset is still working, there is
no danger of leakage. To prevent damage, remove the batteries if you do not use the handset for several
months.
Damage because of leakage is not covered by the guarantee.
Install two "R03/AAA" batteries
(supplied), paying attention to the
polarity diagram in the battery
compartment.
Replace the compartment
cover.
Open the battery compart-
ment cover in the direction of
the arrow.
