  5.  Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. 
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth 
for cleaning.
  EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service 
and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the 
loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended 
to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, 
may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the 
cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
  6.  Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the 
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
  7.  Water and Moisture- Do not use this product near water, for 
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, 
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
  8.  Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, 
tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious 
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. 
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended 
by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the 
appliance should follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions and should use a mounting 
accessory recommended by the 
manufacturer. An appliance and cart 
combination should be moved with care. 
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven 
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart 
combination to overturn.
  9.  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.
10.  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 
appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended 
to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the 
operating instructions.
11.  Grounding or Polarization - This product is 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.
12.  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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, 
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 
appliance.
13.  Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable 
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable 
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against 
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information 
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting 
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge 
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge 
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the 
grounding electrode. (Fig. A)
14.  Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning 
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of 
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or 
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to 
lightning and power-line surges.
15.  Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in 
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power 
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When 
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be 
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact 
with them might be fatal.
16.  Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as 
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17.  Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this 
product through any openings as they may touch dangerous 
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or 
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
18.  Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as 
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage 
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19.  Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall 
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the 
following conditions:
  a.  When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
  b.  If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
  c.  If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
  d.  If the product does not operate normally by following the operating 
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the 
operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls 
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a 
qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
  e.  If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
  f.  When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this 
indicates a need for service. 
20.  Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be 
sure the service 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.
21.  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.
22.  Heat - This product should be situated away from heat sources

with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can 
be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewritable, can be used as well.
