Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your
new VCR.
You can’t wait to get it working, but
before you do, spare a few moments to
read this brief introduction to the world
of video recording. It may repay you
handsomely in terms of improved
results, and avoiding of costly mis-
takes.
Positioning
Do not place the VCR directly on top
of, or underneath, your TV set. Ensure
that there is at least 20 cm between the
VCR and the TV set, and that air can
circulate freely through the ventilation
openings of the VCR.
