completely switched off by removing the plug.

Illustrated below is molded on the back of your unit.

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated
voltage within the unit may have sufficient mag-
nitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is
dangerous to make any kind of contact with any
inside part of this unit.

This symbol alerts the user that important litera-
ture concerning the operation and maintenance
of this unit has been included. Therefore, it should
be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK), NO USER-SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Warning:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate frequency and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the operating
instructions manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

CAUTION:

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY

APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE
COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE
EQUIPMENT.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits
for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set
out in the Interference-causing equipment standard
entitled "Digital Apparatus", ICES-003 of the Department
of Communications.

Safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, turn
off the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.

To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.

Installation

Choose a location in which air can pass through the
ventilation holes in the bottom, top and back of the unit to
prevent it from overheating.

Do not install the unit near sources such as radiators or air
ducts or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust, mechanical vibrations or shock.

Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VCR
because it will adversely affect the performance of the
VCR.

Do not install the unit in an inclined position.
The unit is designed for operation in a horizontal position.

Operation

Condensation
If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air
will condense on the surface of class.
This is the condensation moisture.
Condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial
parts of the VCR, will cause damage to the tape.
The VCR should not be operated for at least 2 hours after
being removed from a cold to a hot environment to avoid
condensation from occurring on the head drum.

Cleaning

Be careful; when surface of the case is wiped with a
volatile agent such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc., or a
chemically processed cloth, the surface finish may be
degraded or its coating may peel off.

Repacking

It is wise to save the packing materials and box in case
you ever need to ship or store your unit.
