All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. CLEANING
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning the exterior cabinet only.
6. ATTACHMENTS
The manufacturer of this unit does not make any recommendations for attachments, as they may cause
hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use this unit near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
(symbol provided by RETAC)
8A. 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 back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating.
S3125A
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This unit should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and/or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit 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, if your unit is equipped
with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a groundingtype power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type 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. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from 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 unit
due to lightning and power line surges.

Disc playback in other players
A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A number is allotted to each partition and these numbers are
called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track numbers”.
DVD-RW/R recorded in this unit can be finalized. The
disc can be played back in other players that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in
“Setting the disc” (page 27).

Even if a DVD-RW disc recorded in the VR mode is
finalized, you can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See “UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears
the following mark.

When recording in the VR mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes
by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 31.)
When recording in the Video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chapters are set automatically. The interval between chapters can be specified. (See page 31.)
NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some
discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new
standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD player
manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVDROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded videos.
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it
cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before
finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.
After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD
player is automatically created.
NOTES:
• The finalization process may require from a few minutes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the
amount of free space on the disc.
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode
cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but if
you format the disc by erasing all the content, you
can again record on this disc.
• A finalized disc may not play because of the condition of the DVD or the compatibility with the player
used for playback.
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback using other players.
