Precautions
Introduction
Notes on handling
Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the recorder is not in standby mode, unless it is
in an emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
When shipping the recorder, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the recorder for a long time. They will
leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the recorder may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When not in use
For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder and turn
off the power.
Prolonged absence
Unplug the recorder from a wall outlet.
Notes on locating
Place the recorder on a level surface. Do not use it on
a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or
inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its
proper position and cause damage to the recorder.
Before placing the recorder, make sure that the
surface can stand the weight of the recorder. For
safety, avoid placing the recorder in a high location, as
an accidental fall of the recorder may cause personal
injury.
When you place this recorder near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted depending on the condition
and location of said equipment. In such an event,
place the recorder as far away much as possible from
the TV, radio, or VCR.
Do not install this product in an area where it will be
exposed to large amounts of oily smoke, steam or
dust, as such exposure could result in fire or electric
shock. Cigarette smoke, dust etc. can cause the
product to malfunction.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth (containing a mild
detergent) to wipe the unit. Ensure the unit is
unplugged before you do this. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
recorder.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that products instructions.
Notes on antennas
Image and sound quality depend very much on signal
reception.
Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this
event, consult your dealer, or purchase a commercially
available antenna booster. Refer to the boosters
instruction manual for installation details.

Precautions (Continued)
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit. 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 optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the unit in a humid place.
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the
unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or
three hours, the unit will have warmed up and
evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.

Component video outputs/inputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component
video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to
enjoy higher quality picture playback.
Actual labels for component video inputs may vary
depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex.Y, R-Y, R-B or
Y, C
B, CR)
In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the
playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint
may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor
for optimum performance.
To switch the output signal (Progressive/Interlaced)
Press PROGRESSIVE on the remote control.
The output signal alternates between
component progressive and component
interlaced.
Notes
Refer to the owners manual of the connected TV as well.
When you connect the recorder to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before any connections.
If you place the recorder near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this event, place the recorder
away from the tuner and radio.
The output sound of the recorder has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the audio amplifiers volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the recorders power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
