IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

INTRODUCTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN.

Copyright:

To record video tapes and other material only in the event that third party copyrights and other rights are not
violated.

Dew Condensation

Never operate this VCR immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the VCR is exposed to such a change
in temperature, dew condensation may occur on the cylinder inside it, one of its most crucial internal parts. The VCR is equipped with
an automatic dew condensation prevention circuit designed to cope with this problem. It takes about TWO HOURS for this circuit to
work with the power cord plugged in. Please do not use the VCR during this time.

Daily Maintenance

Before beginning the day’s operation, rewind the cassette tape recorded on the previous day a few counts and play it back to check
for proper recording.

In order to maintain recorded content and machine itself, and to prevent troubles, the use of high quality video cassette tape is
recommended. Tapes which have been used for long period, used repeatedly, or kept in an unpreferable condition such as high
temperature, high humidity, or strong magnetic field may cause deterioration of picture quality and some troubles. We therefore
recommend use of T-120 video tapes.
