e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been  
damaged.  
Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These  
discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal  
injury and product malfunction.

brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the  
temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens,  
the unit’s performance will be impaired.  
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.  
To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for  
approximately an hour before switching it on, or make sure that  
the room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is  
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,  
change the location of the unit.  
20. Servicing  
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or  
removing the cover may expose you to dangerous voltage or  
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service  
personnel.

technician has used replacement parts specified by the  
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original  
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.  
22. Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask  
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine  
that the product is in proper operating condition.

PRECAUTIONS  
To obtain a clear picture  
Handling the unit  
The main unit 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.)  
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  
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.  
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.  
CAUTION:  
The main unit and powered subwoofer must be placed in a well  
ventilated area.  
Do not place any object on the top of the unit.  
Do not block ventilation holes.  
The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is used for a long time,  
but it is not a malfunction.  
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.  
WHAT TO DO IF...  
Cleaning the unit  
To clean the cabinet  
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm water and  
wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or other strong chemical  
cleaners since these could damage the finish of your unit. It is  
important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.  
If the operation of the unit or display is not normal, even  
though the appropriate buttons have been pressed.  
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait a few minutes, and  
plug it back in.  
Note:  
If the unit still does not operate correctly, please contact your  
nearest Sanyo Authorized Service Facility.

the main unit. Then connect the main unit to the TV. Below are 3  
common methods of connecting an antenna system to a main  
unit. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow  
the connection diagram.

Note:  
If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat)

A clear picture will not be obtained by the main unit unless the  
antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the main unit  
properly.  
For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic

Basic TV Connections  
Audio/Video Connection  
After you have connected the antenna to the main unit, you must  
connect the main unit to the TV.  
1. Connect the DVD/VCR OUTPUT VIDEO jack on the main  
unit to the video input jack on the TV using the video cable  
supplied.  
Below are 3 common methods of connecting your main unit to a  
TV. Find the type of TV you are using and follow the connection  
diagram.  
This main unit has a single 75 ohm output for connection to a TV.  
If your TV has separate VHF and UHF antenna inputs (Examples  
2 and 3 below), use a splitter to connect the main unit to the TV  
for VHF and UHF reception.  
2. If you use your TV’s speaker, connect the DVD/VCR OUTPUT  
AUDIO L/R jacks on the main unit to the audio left/right input  
jacks on the TV using an audio cables (not supplied).

IMPORTANT:  
CATV (CABLE TV) Connections  
Make sure the TV/CATV menu option is set to the “CATV” mode.  
This unit cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not  
contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled programs,  
your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are  
available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company  
for more information concerning connection to their descrambler  
equipment. There are many ways to connect your unit to a cable  
system. Below are six common methods of connection.  
Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of  
extra channels including pay or subscription channels. The main  
unit has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most  
cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter  
box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled.  
If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you  
must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

To prevent warping the disc, do not expose it to direct  
sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures for extended  
periods of time.  
Do not apply paper or write anything on either side of the

Handling, Storing and Cleaning Discs  
•
•
•
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped from the  
signal surface of the disc (glossy side) with a soft cloth.  
Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the outside of  
the disc.

surface of the disc.  
•

TVGuardian® OPERATION  
TVGuardian® Technology embedded into the main unit will filter foul language from pre-recorded movies which have CC (Closed  
Caption). Words detected by TVG® will be muted from the program audio channel, and a version of the phrase, with the foul language  
converted to a suitable replacement word, can be displayed on the TV screen.  
This is accomplished by a process which:  
Important Information:

reads the hidden signals for closed captions,  
detects offensive language,  
momentarily mutes the sound, and  
displays acceptable words and phrases.

only English language DVD video disc and video cassette tape  
supporting closed caption, not any other languages.

MAINTENANCE  
WARNING:  
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CORD BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY  
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm water and wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or other strong chemical  
cleaners since these could damage the finish of your unit. It is important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.  
Video Head Cleaning  
Video head clogging  
The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads  
become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good  
tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system or  
have them cleaned professionally.  
Good Picture  
Snowy Picture  
Video head cleanning  
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur  
when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet)  
head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve the picture,  
play it several times before requesting service.  
Notes:  
•
•
•
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.  
Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
