When you connect the optical digital cable (not supplied), remove the dust protection cap from the rear panel.
When not using the optical digital cable, attach the dust protection cap to protect against dust.

NOTES:
• The OPTICAL, COAXIAL, DVD AUDIO L/R, S-VIDEO and COMPONENT jacks are useful only for DVD section.
On these connections, VCR functions can not be used and also the VCR MENUs don’t appear.
VHS signal is output only from the composite jack (DVD/VCR VIDEO/AUDIO OUTPUT) and UHF/VHF OUT.
• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV
Amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the
speakers to be damaged.
• Caution for the optical digital audio output connector: Do not connect to an amplifier (with an optical digital input
connector) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may
cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is
necessary.
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR 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, have
the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel. Good Picture Snowy Picture

NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE
REAR 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.
