· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
· A small amount of power (3 watts) is always consumed while the
power cord is connected to the wall outlet.
· When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunction of the unit
· There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

to the unit may result.
Note about copyright laws
· Please check the copyright laws in your country before recording
from DVD VIDEO, Audio CD, and Video CD discs. Recording of
copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.
Note about the copyguard system
· The DVD VIDEO disc is protected by the copyguard system.
When you connect the unit to your VCR directly, the coryguard
system activates and the picture may not be played back correctly.
