Installation
Considerations
Before you install your VCR...
•
Plugging in Your VCR -- Be sure to plug your VCR mt_
an "_tched"
A_ power source. The "switched" AC
outlets found on some video equipment will not continue
supplying power to the VCR once the equipment is turned
off. If the power to the VCR is interrupted for an extended
time, you will have to reset the clock in the VCR.
Power Source -- Your VCR is designed to operate on normal household current, 120 volt 60
Her'z AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC
current.
•
Keep the video recorder and video cassette away from
strong magnetic fields.
•
Use only approved and recommended accessory units
with your video recorder to avoid potential hazards.
Power Cord Q Your VCR power cord has a po-
•
Save the shipping carton and packing material. The)"will
come in handy if you ever have to ship your video recorder. For maximum protection, re-pack the video recorder as it was ori_nally shipped from the factory.
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your
VCR running cool. Air circulates through perforation.s in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your VCR.

has asone
regular by
blade
and one wide
blade and fits only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the blades will not enter either way,
your outlet is very old and non-standard. A new outlet should
be installed by a qualified electrician.
Moisture condensation is apt to occur under the following
conditions:
Safe Operation -- Your VCR is manufactured
and tested with your safety in mind. However,
unusual stress caused by dropping or mishandling, exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture,
or aceidentai spilling of liquids into the VCR,
can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. If this
happens, have your VCR checked by a service technician before using it again.
"
•
When the video recorder is moved from a cold place to a
warm place.
•
Under extremely humid conditions.
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your VCR.
iii
•
Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet and the
POWER switch set to ON. This will help prevent condensation from occurring.
•
When condensation has occurred, it will not evaporate
quickly once the power is switched on. Wait a few hours
for the video recorder to become dry before using the
video recorder.
