IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW VCR, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS OPERATION MANUAL AND THEN
SAVE IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AS IT WILL BE USEFUL IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OPERATING
YOUR VCR IN THE FUTURE.
Location and Handling
1.
Air vents are provided in the VCR cabinet to prevent excessive temperatures
inside the unit. Do not place your VCR in closed spaces, cover it, or otherwise
block the vents.
2.
Do not place the VCR in direct sunlight, or near heat sources.
3.
Keep the VCR and tapes away from strong magnetic objects.
4.
Do not insert or drop anything into the VCR through the air vents or cassette
compartment as this could cause serious damage, possibly resulting in fire.
5.
Do not place any object containing water or other liquids on the VCR. In the event
that liquid should enter the cabinet, unplug the VCR immediately and contact the
retailer or a service centre approved by Sharp immediately.
6.
Do not remove the VCR cabinet. Touching parts inside the cabinet could result in
electric shock and/or damage to the VCR. For service and adjustment inside the
cabinet, call a qualified dealer or service centre approved by Sharp.
7.
The use of head cleaning tapes is not recommended as they may cause damage
to your machine.
Caution-Prevent Condensation
When moving the VCR from a cold place to a warm one, condensation (dew)
is likely to form on the VCR drum and heads.
If you try to play back or record in these circumstances, the videotape and
VCR may be damaged.
arm
To prevent this, turn the power switch on and wait for a few hours for the VCR
to warm up and dry before attempting playback or recording.
This is particularly important before loading a cassette for the first time after
purchasing the VCR.
