Care and Safety Information

CAUTION!

High voltage! Do not open the

device. You run the risk of getting

an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any

user-serviceable parts. Please leave

all maintenance work to quali ed

personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, hard and stable

surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.

– Do not position the set on top of

other equipment that might heat it up

(e.g., receiver or ampli er.)

– Do not put anything above or under

the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.)

– Install this unit near the AC outlet and

where the AC power plug can be

reached easily.

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent internal

heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)

clearance from the rear and the top of

the set and 5cm (2”) from the left and

right to prevent overheating.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,

water and dust

– Apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

– Do not place any sources of danger on

the apparatus (e.g., liquid  lled objects,

lighted candles.)

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur (frozen picture,

sound disruptions, picture distortions)

because the disc inside the unit is dirty.

To avoid these problems, discs should be

cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro  bre cleaning

cloth and wipe the disc from the center

to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene,

thinner, commercially available cleaners,

or anti-static sprays intended for discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the

recorder operates at a higher power than

regular DVD or CD players, cleaning

CDs intended for DVD or CD players

may damage the optical unit (laser.)

Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning

CD.

About recycling

These operating instructions have been

printed on non-polluting paper. This

electronic equipment contains a large

number of materials that can be recycled.

If you are disposing of an old machine,

please take it to a recycling center. Please

observe the local regulations regarding

disposal of packaging materials, exhausted

batteries, and old equipment.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections

Connecting the antenna

cables

These connections enable you to watch

and record TV programs using this

recorder. If the antenna signal is

connected via a VCR, Cable Box or

Satellite Receiver, ensure that these

devices are turned on in order to watch

jack on the

recorder to the antenna input jack on

your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)

Helpful Hint:

– Depending on how you have currently

connected your TV channel (directly from an

off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you

will have to disconnect some of the cables

before you make the above connection.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.
