Precautions

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 unit, remote control or disc.
1. DO NOT place the unit —

— 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 unit’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 unit or remote 

control.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the 

unit or remote control.

(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 unit during transport.

Connections 

Tips: 

Depending on your TV and other equipment there are 
various ways you can connect the player. 

Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, stereo 
system or other devices as necessary for additional 
connection information. 

Notes: 

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be 
distorted during playback. Position the units away from each 
other or turn off the unit after removing the disc. 

Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV and 
tune the TV to the correct video input channel. 

Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s AUDIO OUT jack to the 
phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system. Do not 
connect the DVD+VCR via another VCR. The DVD image 
could be distorted by the copy protection system.

capabilities of your existing equipment.
