PRECAUTIONS
Handling the unit
To obtain a clear picture

The main unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality
will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after
every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating
environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in
handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was
originally packaged at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be
distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away
from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the
disc.
CAUTION:
The main unit and powered subwoofer 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.
To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the
unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the
surface.
WHAT TO DO IF...
If the operation of the unit or display is not normal, even
though the appropriate buttons have been pressed.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait a few minutes, and
plug it back in.
Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm water and
wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or other strong chemical
cleaners since these could damage the finish of your unit. It is
important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.
Note:
If the unit still does not operate correctly, please contact your
nearest Sanyo Authorized Service Facility.

CATV (CABLE TV) Connections
IMPORTANT:
Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of

extra channels including pay or subscription channels. The main
unit has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most
cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter
box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled.
If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you
must have a descrambler box for proper reception.
Make sure the TV/CATV menu option is set to the CATV mode.
This unit cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not
contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled programs,
your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are
available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company
for more information concerning connection to their descrambler
equipment. There are many ways to connect your unit to a cable
system. Below are six common methods of connection.

Stereo Recording and Playback
Separate Audio Program (SAP)
The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity recording of

MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.
Your VCR is fitted with a SAP broadcast system which enables

you to switch to a separate audio program when viewing a
selected channel.
This function applies only when the program is broadcast in
multi-languages through the SAP broadcast system.
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is received, the word STEREO

will appear on the TV screen and the program can be viewed or
recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is the same as for
normal recordings.
STEREO

Note:
When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be
transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word
STEREO will not appear and the sound will be in mono.
Output selection
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a
prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press [AUDIO OUT]
to select how the audio will be heard through the speakers.
Normally set to the Hi-Fi STEREO position, this button can be set
to the MONO position if the stereo broadcast or videotape audio
is of poor quality. The R and L positions allow the audio from
the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speakers.
This button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or TV
program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT

Handling, Storing and Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped from the

signal surface of the disc (glossy side) with a soft cloth.
Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the outside of
the disc.
Never use chemicals such as record cleaning sprays,
antistatic sprays or fluids, benzene or thinner to clean the
discs. These chemicals will permanently damage the plastic
surface of the disc.
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the
center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to protect

them from dust and scratches.
To prevent warping the disc, do not expose it to direct
sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures for extended
periods of time.
Do not apply paper or write anything on either side of the
disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some
felt-tip pens, may damage the surfaces of the disc.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CORD BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.
Cleaning the Cabinet

Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm water and wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or other strong chemical
cleaners since these could damage the finish of your unit. It is important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.
Video Head Cleaning

Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the unit 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, use a high quality head cleaning system or
have them cleaned professionally.
Good Picture
Snowy Picture
Video head cleanning

Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur
when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet)
head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve the picture,
play it several times before requesting service.
Notes:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP 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.
