PRECAUTIONS
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:
œ
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
œ
Avoid dusty or humid places.
œ
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of
the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because
this will block the ventilation holes.
œ
Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
œ
Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
œ
Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot
locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this
page).
œ
Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
may cause playback or recording problems.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire
œ
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
œ
Do not pull on the power cord.
œ
If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorized service centre.
œ
Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.
Moisture Condensation Problems
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area
to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,
dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator
(
À
) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside,
damage may result.
Prevention:
1
Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.
When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew
indicator (
À
) will turn off and the VCR will be ready
for operation.
Power on/stand-by mode
The power on/stand-by mode is selected by pressing the

for a long time.
