Introduction 1Reference pageCaution and CareCONDENSATION IS THE ENEMY OF VIDEO RECORDERSWHAT 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 ofcondensation.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 coldlocation to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. By heating the inside of theVCR, it can dry up the moisture and prevent damage to the VCR or video tape from condensation. To do this, plug the VCR inand 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 VCRNEVER TOUCH OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INSIDE THE VCRTouching the inside of the cabinet or inserting foreign objects of any kind not only creates a safety hazard but can also causeextensive damage.PROTECT THE POWER CORDDamage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging the power cord, hold it by the plug only and pull outcarefully.UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCETurn the power off and unplug the power cord during a long absence.MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATIONDo not obstruct the ventilation holes on the VCR. For maximum ventilation, place the unit on a hard level surface only, and ensure itis not covered during use.WHEN NOT IN USEWhen you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn the VCR off.CABINET CARENever use petroleum-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth moistened with soap and water and wipe dry. PVC cables or leadsshould not be left in contact with the cabinet surface for long periods.INSTALLATION LOCATIONFor 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.NoteNever 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.WARNING:The included power cord is used for 120 V, 60 Hz.Never connect any outlet or power supply having a different voltage or frequency.
