WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Caution and Care
CONDENSATION IS THE ENEMY OF VIDEO RECORDERS
WHAT IS CONDENSATION?
1. When a very cold drink is poured into a glass, the water droplets which form on the outer surface of the glass are an example of
condensation.
2. If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming it in a cold room or after transporting it from a cold
location to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. By heating the inside of the
VCR, it can dry up the moisture and prevent damage to the VCR or video tape from condensation. To do this, plug the VCR in
and switch the VCR POWER to ON. Leave the VCR on for at least 2 hours before using it for recording or playback.
CONDENSATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN:
1. The VCR is moved inside from outdoors or from a cold room to a warm one.
2. A cold room is heated quickly.
3. Humidity is high.
Note
•
Avoid using the VCR where cold air (e.g., from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.
Never place anything containing water on top of the VCR; (e.g., vases, cups, etc.).
Heavy objects (e.g., TV) should never be placed on the VCR
NEVER TOUCH OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INSIDE THE VCR
Touching the inside of the cabinet or inserting foreign objects of any kind not only creates a safety hazard but can also cause
extensive damage.
PROTECT THE POWER CORD
Damage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging the power cord, hold it by the plug only and pull out
carefully.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCE
Turn the power off and unplug the power cord during a long absence.
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the VCR. For maximum ventilation, place the unit on a hard level surface only, and ensure it
is not covered during use.
WHEN NOT IN USE
When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn the VCR off.
CABINET CARE
Never use petroleum-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth moistened with soap and water and wipe dry. PVC cables or leads
should not be left in contact with the cabinet surface for long periods.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
For excellent performance and lasting reliability, install in a location that is:
1. Well ventilated, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat.
2. A solid, vibration-free surface.
3. Free from high humidity, excessive dust and away from magnetic fields.
Note
Never move the VCR without first removing the tape.
CARE OF THE VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
•
Avoid vibration or shock.
•
Do not place near a strong magnetic field (e.g., a motor, transformer or magnet).
•
Never place or store in direct sunlight.
•
Avoid dusty places.
•
Place the cassette in its case and store vertically.
•
Never store tape in high humidity.
