VIDEO RECORDER
Handling and storage
@ Avoid using the recorder under the following conditions:
— extremely hot, coid or humid places,
— dusty places,
— near appliances generating strong magnetic fields,
— places subject to vibrations, and
— poorly ventilated places.
© Be careful of moisture condensation.
® Avoid using the recorder immediately after moving from a
cold place to a warm place. The water vapour in warm air will
condense on the still-cold video head drum and tape guides
and may cause damage to the tape and the recorder.
® Handle the recorder carefully
+ Do not block the ventilation openings.
+ Do not place anything heavy on the recorder.
* Do not place anything which might spill and cause trouble
on the top cover of the recorder.
+ Use in horizontal (fiat) position only.
@ in case of transportation,
+ Avoid violent shocks to the recorder during packing and
transportation.
+ Before packing, be sure to remove the cassette from the
recorder.
Moisture condensation
® If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapour in the air
will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called
moisture condensation.
@ Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the video recorder, will cause damage to the
tape.
@ Moisture condensation is apt to occur under the following
conditions:
— when the recorder is moved from a cold place to a warm
place, and
— under extremely humid conditions.
® in conditions where moisture condensation may occur, keep
the power cord plugged in an AC outlet and the power
switched 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 recorder to become dry.
VIDEO CASSETTES
@ Avoid exposing the cassettes to direct sunlight. Keep them
away from heaters.
@ Avoid extreme humidity, violent vibrations or shocks, strong
magnetic fields (near a motor, transformer or magnet) and
dusty places.
@ Place the cassettes in cassette cases and position
vertically.
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
@ Avoid violent shocks, especially take care not to drop the
unit.
@ Take care not to allow liquid to spill into the unit.
® Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
@ Avoid leaving the unit in places subject to direct sunlight or
extremely high temperatures.
