Overview

Handling the Unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products
in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage
the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD RVCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are
dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after
every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your
nearest dealer.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.
Distance: Within 23 ft (7 m) of the remote sensor.
Angle: Within 30° in each direction of the remote sensor.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two AAA
batteries. Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are aligned correctly.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, etc.).

Precautions

Overview

Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording,
recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen.

• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded using DVD+RW discs with CPRM.

Copyright Notice

•  Audio and video recordings you make using the DVD RVCR are for your personal use only. You may

not sell, lend, or rent them to other people.

•  This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain

U.S.patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights

Handling Discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges
so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or
tape on the disc.

Storing Discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct
sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and
sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older
vinyl records.
