converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for

cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference

to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description

otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended

by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this product near water,

for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool,

and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may

fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and

serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting

of the appliance should follow the

manufacturer's instructions and

should use a mounting accessory

recommended by the manufacturer. An

appliance and cart combination should

be moved with care. Quick stops,

excessive force, and uneven surfaces

may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation

of the product and to protect it from overheating, and

these openings must not be blocked or covered. The

openings should never be blocked by placing the product

on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product

should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or

the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources - This product should be operated only

from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply

to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local

power company. For products intended to operate from

battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with

a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If

you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should

be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying

particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the product, be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide

some protection against voltage surges and built-up static

charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding

of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for

the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused

for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the product due to lightning and power-line

surges.

15. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into

such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep

from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with

them might be fatal.

16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind

into this product through any openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could

result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the product.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself

as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that

are covered by the operating instructions as an improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and

will often require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have

the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other

hazards.

Maintenance

SERVICING

• Please refer to relevant topics on Troubleshooting on pages 77-80 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned

on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

CLEANING THE CABINET

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing

alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

CLEANING DISCS

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do

not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent,

abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

CLEANING THE DISC LENS

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to

“Troubleshooting” in this Owner’s Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your

dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

DISC HANDLING

• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.

AUTO HEAD CLEANING

• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.

• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt

accumulated on the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes

can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in

the unit may need to be cleaned.

1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.

2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please call our help line mentioned on the

front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.

NOTES:

• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.

• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

IR SIGNAL CHECK

If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared

signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to

define the cause of malfunction.

• With an AM radio:

Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the

radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This

means the remote control unit is working.

• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):

Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared

light appears through digital camera, the remote is working.

Dolby Digital Recording

“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on

recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves record-

able disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD.

DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players.”

Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly rep-

resents sound. In contrast, digital

audio which can be an electrical sig-

nal, but is an indirect representation

of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to

its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3

(in other words, the screen is almost

square); widescreen models are 16:9

(the screen is almost twice as wide as

it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several

chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usu-

ally divided into chapters. See also

Title.

Component video output

This is a video signal format that

conveys each of three principal

colors of light (red, blue and green)

through different signal lines. This

allows the viewers to experience pic-

ture colors as original as it is. There

are several signal formats, including

Y/PB/PR and Y/CB/CR.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound

by numbers. During recording, the

sound is measured at discrete inter-

vals (44, 100 times a second for

CD audio) by an analog-to-digital

converter, generating a stream of

numbers. On playback, a digital-to-

analog converter generates an ana-

log signal based on these numbers.
