When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf,
make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for
ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the
rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws governing the
disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the DVD/VCR, Remote or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the DVD/VCR ...
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.
... in direct sunlight.
... in a dusty environment.
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the DVD/VCR's ventilation openings or
holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the DVD/VCR or
Remote.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
DVD/VCR or Remote.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water
or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases,
potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the DVD/VCR during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the DVD/VCR when you
move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions--just as water droplets form on
the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the
tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the
DVD/VCR's power turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
How to use the Remote
Before use, insert two AAA size batteries into the Remote
with the polarity (
and
) matched correctly as indicated
on the battery compartment or on the lid.
Point the Remote toward the remote sensor on the target
component.
The maximum operating distance of the remote control is
about 5 m.
NOTE:
If the Remote does not work properly, remove its batteries,
wait for a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try
again.
Video heads cleaning
The heads get dirty in the following cases:
in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity.
in a dusty environment
flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes
continuous usage for a long time
Use a dry cleaning cassette -- TCL-2 -- when:
Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back.
