11 Power Sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization
This video product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only
fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
13 Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
14 Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due
to lightning and power-line surges.
15 Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in fire risk or electric
shock.
16 Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
17 Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
18 Damage Requiring Service

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product.
(c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
(d) If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.
(e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
(f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, try to correct the interference by one or more
of these measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different
circuit than the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

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.
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.

Introduction
Loading/Unloading a Tape
Tapes can be loaded into your VCR as long as the VCR is
plugged into an outlet. Even if the VCR is turned off, loading a
tape will automatically cause it to turn on. Use only video
or
cassette tapes marked
Important notice:
• Use high grade (HG) tapes for super resolution
recording. We recommend to use S-VHS tapes for
super resolution recording at L18H-L40H mode.
• It is recommended to use T-120 tape. Do not use
tapes longer than T-160.
Loading
1. Insert the tape into the cassette slot
by holding it so that the long narrow
edge with the contents label faces
towards you.
• The Cassette Status indicator
illuminates on the fluorescent
display when the tape is
inserted.
Note
• Your VCR has a protection circuit
which will eject the tape if it is loaded
improperly. If the VCR ejects the
tape, remove it completely and
check that the long narrow edge with
the contents label is facing towards
you, and the clear plastic window
that shows the video tape is facing
upwards. Wait a few seconds, and
try inserting the tape again.
Preventing accidental erase
Tapes come with an erase prevention
tab which, when removed, prevents the
tape’s contents from being erased or
recorded over. If the tape you insert in
the VCR has the erase prevention tab
removed, your VCR will automatically
eject it if you attempt to record on it.

Note
•
We recommend that you take any broken or torn tapes to a
professional for repair. The adhesives on many common
types of tape could damage the head of your VCR.
Recommended number of tape use
It is recommended that the cassette tape be replaced with a new
one depending on the recording time mode and type of tape
used. Providing TAPE LENGTH of FIRST TIME SET UP menu is
set to the same type the tape you use.
