PORTABLE CART WARNING (Symbol provided by RETAC) 10. Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to. 11. Power Sources ­ This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 12. Grounding or Polarization ­ This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 13. Power-Cord Protection ­ Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, playing particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 14.

FOR DETAILED INFORMATION, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNTY SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY. Note: This is not Multi-brand Remote Control. It cannot operate your TV and VCR. -E6- FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION · · · Do not damage the power cord. When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit. If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a malfunction may result. Use in an area where there is low humidity and little dust. Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way. Do not use the unit in areas where extremes in temperature occur (below 40°F (5°C) or exceeding 95°F (35°C)), or where it may be exposed to direct sunlight. Because of the DVD recorder extremely low noise and wide dynamic range, there is a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing so may produce an excessively high output from the amplifier which can cause damage to your speakers. Please be careful in this regard. Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the unit. Under this condition the unit may be unable to operate properly. If this should occur, remove the disc and allow the unit to adjust to the surrounding temperature. When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which may be inside and turn the power off. Then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet after 10 seconds. Carrying the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or the unit. Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book case or built in cabinet. CAUTION: The unit must be operated in a horizontal position only. The unit 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. · · · Press [q OPEN/CLOSE] (or [OPEN/CLOSE] on the remote control) when closing the disc tray. Do not push the disc tray. · To reduce the volume temporarily (muting) Press [MUTE] on the remote control. "MUTE" appears on the TV screen. To restore the previous volume setting, press [MUTE] again. "MUTE OFF" appears briefly on the TV screen. · · WHAT TO DO IF... If the operation of the unit or display is not normal, even though the appropriate buttons have been pressed. 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Connect the power cord again. 3. Operate the unit again. Note: If the unit still does not operate correctly, please contact your nearest Sanyo Authorized Service Facility. Need help? Call 1-800-813-3435 -E7- BASIC CONNECTION Notes: · Unpack the unit and insert the two AA size batteries in the remote control (See page E6). · Do not connect the power cord to a 120VAC 60Hz outlet until all connections have been made. Need help? Call 1-800-813-3435 Before Connection This guide will help you to connect the unit. Step 1: Connecting the Antenna Cable (See page E8.) Step 2: Connecting the Video Cables (See page E11.) Step 3: Connecting the Audio Cables (See page E12.) Step 4: Connecting the Power Cord (See page E14.) Step 1: Connecting the Antenna Cable First, select one of the following antenna connections that best suit you. If you use Antenna only (no cable TV), or cable without cable box Cable box with a few or many scrambled channels See Example: Basic Antenna/Cable connections (Page E9) Example: Connecting a Cable Box (Page E10) Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Notes: · If the antenna is a flat cable (300-ohm twin lead cable), use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied) to connect the antenna to the unit. · If you use separate VHF and UHF antenna cables, use a VHF/UHF band combiner (not supplied) to connect the antenna to the unit. · If you are not sure about the connection, please consult your audio/video dealer. CAUTION: Do not connect the antenna and VCR as shown below. Your VCR doesn't work. VCR DVD recorder TV DVD recorder VCR TV -E8- Example: Basic Antenna/Cable Connections RF OUTPUT CHANNEL 3 4 DVD recorder (Partial back panel) 2 AV 1 IN VIDEO RF OUTPUT CHANNEL 3 4 1 or 75-ohm coaxial antenna cable (not supplied) IN L ANTENNA R OUT S-VIDEO AUDIO VHF/UHF ANTENNA IN TV 3 Cable TV wall jack 75-ohm coaxial antenna cable (supplied) 1. Connect an antenna (or a cable TV system) to the unit. 2. Set the RF OUTPUT CHANNEL switch to "3" or "4". 3. Connect the unit to the TV with the 75-ohm coaxial antenna cable (supplied). Channel Switch Setting Set your TV to either channel 3 or channel 4. (Choose a channel that is not used for broadcasting in your area.) Then set the RF OUTPUT CHANNEL switch to channel 3 or 4 to match the channel selected on the TV. This is your unit channel. The TV must be set to this channel whenever the unit is used for playing a disc or watching a TV program. If in doubt, check with your local cable company. Need help? Call 1-800-813-3435 -E9- Example: Connecting a Cable Box This unit can receive all unscrambled cable channels without the use of a cable box. If you wish to view and record scrambled cable channels, you must connect a cable box as described below. Your local cable TV company will advise you of the channels available in your area. We recommend that you consult your cable TV company to make sure that the cable is properly connected. Example: Connecting a cable box with many scrambled channels Use this connection if your cable system scrambles all or most channels. Connect the cable box to the unit first. Notes: · The unit and TV receive the same channel. Be sure that the cable box is turned on. · Recording one channel while watching another channel is not possible. Example: Connecting a cable box with only a few scrambled channels Use this connection if your cable system scrambles only a few channels. Connect the cable box between the unit and the TV. Notes: · You can record any non-scrambled channel by selecting the channel on the unit. · You cannot record scrambled channels that require a cable box.
