DO NOT handle the AC power cord with  
wet hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense in the lenses on the System in the  
following cases:  
• After starting to heat the room  
• In a damp room  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,  
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.  
Internal heat  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System.  
Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.  
–A cooling fan is inside the System to prevent heat  
build-up.  
DO NOT block the ventilation openings or  
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or  
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,  
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before  
operating any further.  
DO NOT disassemble the System since there  
are no user serviceable parts inside.  
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended  
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as  
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.  
• The main speakers and subwoofer are magnetically shielded  
to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed  
properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to  
the following when installing the speakers.  
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the  
TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the

clock first, then the timer again.  
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.  
• Avoid the following places to store the tape—in dusty  
places, in direct sunlight or heat, in moist areas, on a TV or  
speaker, or near a magnet.  
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality:  
• Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the  
heads, capstans and pinch rollers.  
• Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and  
audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System is  
turned off).  
• Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the  
source while Recording Timer is recording.  
• Daily Timer will not work correctly for some DVDs.  
Setup Menu Operations (see pages 37 to 38)  
General:  
• If the upper and lower parts of the menu are cut off, adjust  
the picture size control of the TV.  
To protect your recording  
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back  
to protect from unexpected erasure or re-  
recording.  
To protect your recording, remove these  
tabs.  
LANGUAGE menu:  
• When the language you have selected for MENU  
LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is  
not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the  
initial language.  
PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:  
• Even if “4:3 PS” is selected, the screen size may become  
4:3 letter box with some disc. This depends on how they  
are recorded.  
To re-record on a protected tape, cover  
the holes with adhesive tape.  
• When you select “16:9 NORMAL” or “16:9 AUTO” for a  
picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly  
changes due to the process for converting the picture width.  
OTHERS menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:  
• The setup menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and  
recorded) even though this function is set to “OFF.”  
Subtitles and the information for zoom-in always appear on  
the display regardless of this setting.  
Cleaning the System  
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System  
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-  
diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean  
with a dry cloth.  
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become  
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the  
following:  
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.  
– DO NOT wipe it forcefully.  
Maintenance  
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.  
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as  
insecticides to it.  
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact  
for a long time.  
To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs,  
tapes and mechanism clean.  
Handling discs  
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge  
while pressing the center hole lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.  
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.  
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when  
placing it back in its case.  
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures,  
and moisture.  
To clean the disc:  
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center  
to edge.
