„

  When shipping the DVR unit, the original shipping 

carton 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 DVR unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in 
contact with the DVR unit for long periods of time. They 
will leave marks on the finish.

 

„

 

The top and rear panels of the DVR unit may become 
warm after long periods of use. This is not a 
malfunction.

 

 
 
 

 
 

„

 

Place the DVR unit on a level surface. Do not use it on 
a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or 
inclined stand.  

„

  When you place this DVR unit next to a TV, radio, or 

VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the 
sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVR 
unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR. 

 
 
 
 
 
Use a soft dry cloth for cleaning. 
 

„

  For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent 

solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it 
dry. 
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and 
benzene, as they may damage the surface of the DVR 
unit. 

„

 

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, 
follow that product’s instructions. 

 
 
 
 
 
This DVR unit is designed to last for long periods of time. To 
keep your DVR unit always operational we recommend 
regular inspection maintenance (cleaning parts or 
replacement). For details contact your nearest dealer.  

 
 
 

Moisture condensation damages the DVR unit. Please 
read the following carefully.  
 

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases. 

„

 

When you bring the DVR unit directly from a cold place 
to a warm place. 

„

  When you use the DVR 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 the summer, when you use the DVR unit in a hot and 
humid place just after you move the unit from an air 
conditioned room. 

„

 

When you use the DVR unit in a humid place. 

 

Do not use the DVR unit when moisture condensation 
may occur.  

 
If you use the DVR unit in such a situation, it may damage 
discs and internal parts. Remove any CD discs, connect the 
power cord of the DVR unit to the wall outlet, turn on the 
DVR unit, and leave it for two to three hours. After two to 
three hours, the DVR unit will have warmed up and 
evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVR unit connected to 
the wall and moisture will seldom occur.
