Maintenance
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the 
environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. 
Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that 
came with the cloth carefully.Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and 
viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it 
impossible to record or play discs. 
Use the DVD-RAM/PD lens cleaner (LF-K123LCA1, where 
available) about once every year, depending on frequency of use 
and the operating environment. Read the lens cleaner’s instructions 
carefully before use.
User memo:
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to 
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s 
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come 
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be 
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

cannot record the part at the beginning of the later program 
(approximately 15 seconds).
≥If you set DST (Daylight Saving Time) to ON when manually 
setting the clock (➡page 7), timer recording may not work 
when summer switches to winter and vice versa.
∫Relief Recording

if the program will not fit onto the disc, the recording drive will be 
changed to the “HDD” automatically.
≥If there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on 
or when timer recording starts while transferring (dubbing), the 
recording drive will be changed to the HDD.
≥The Direct Navigator shows which programs were relief-
recorded (“ ” is displayed.)(➡page 20).
