Precautions
Please
read these
precautions before you
operate this
VCR.
Cassette
Compartment Door
When first
unpacking the VCR,
the
cassette
compartment
door may
be
open
partially. This is due to a
safety device
designed to
protect the VCR
from vibration during
shipment; it is
not
a
malfunction. After the AC
Power Cord is
connected to an
AC outlet, the door
returns
to
its original
position.
Avoid Sudden
Temperature Changes
If the
VCR
is suddenly
moved from
a cold
to
a
warm place,
moisture may
form on the tape and inside
the
VCR. In
such
a case
the Dew
Indicator
“d
”
will flash
on
and
off
and
the
VCR will not
operate.
Humidity and Dust
Avoid
places
with high humidity or a lot
of dust. These can
damage internal
parts.
Avoid Covering
Ventilation
Holes
The
ventilation holes
prevent abnormal
increased
temperature
in the VCR. Do not block
or cover these
holes.
Especially
avoid covering
the holes
with
soft
materials
such
as
cloth
or paper.
Keep
away from High
Temperature
Keep
the VCR away from
extreme direct heat
such as
direct
sunlight,
radiators, or
in
dosed
automobiles.
Keep
Magnets
away
Never
bring a
magnet or magnetized object
near the
VCR
because
it will adversely
affect the performance
of the
VCR.
No
Fingers or
Other Objects Inside
Touching
internal parts of
the VCR is dangerous,
and
may
cause
serious
VCR damage. Do
not attempt
to
disassemble
the VCR. There are
no user-serviceable
parts inside.
Keep
Away from Water
Keep the
VCR away
from flower vases,
tubs,
sinks,
etc.
CAUTION:
If
liquids are
spilled into
the
VCR,
serious
damage may occur.
If you
spill
any
liquid into the VCR,
immediately
disconnect the
AC
Power Cord and
consult
qualified
service
personnel.
Lightning
To
avoid damage by
lightning, disconnect
the
antenna plug
from the
VCR.
Keep VCR
Clean
Wipe the VCR with a clean, dry
cloth.
Never
use
cleaning
fluid,
or other
chemicals.
Do
not
use
compressed air to
remove dust.
Stacking
Place the VCR in a horizontal
position
and
do
not place
anything
heavy on it.
Video Head
Clogging
The video heads place
picture
signals
on the tape
during
recording,
and
read picture
signals
from the tape
during
playback.
Therefore
they are
of critical
importance
for the
picture quality.
To ensure
that they
can always
provide
optimum
picture quality,
this VCR is
equipped
with an Auto
Head
Cleaning
Feature that
removes tape
particles
and
dust
from the video heads.
However, if the
VCR
is
used
over
extremely
long periods
of time,
these heads
may
still
become dirty
and clogged.
In
such
a case, the
signals
can
no longer be
recorded
correctly,
and the
playback picture
will
be
distorted
accordinagly.
This is the case,
for example,
if
during playback
sound is
reproduced
normally, but no
picture is
seen, or the
picture is
greatly
distorted.
When
such
symptoms
occur
consult your
dealer
for further advice.
If Dew Condensation
Forms in the VCR
Condensation
may form in
the
VCR if:
•The VCR
is
in
a
room
where
the heater has just been
turned on.
•The
VCR is
in
a
room
with
steam or
high humidity.
•The VCR
is
brought
from cold
surroundings into
a
well-heated
room.
•The VCR is suddenly
brought
from cool
surroundings,
such as
an air-conditioned
room
or car, to
a
hot
and
humid
place.
When dew
forms
in
the
VCR:
The Dew
Indicator
“d
"
on
the VCR Display
will flash
on
and
off all the function buttons are
made
non-operational to
protect
the
tape
and
the video heads.

Indicator flashes,
wait until this
indicator disappears.
•If dew
condensation
forms inside the
VCR
while the
power
is off, it
will
turn on
automatically and
the Dew
Indicator
will flash on and
off.
As soon
as
the dew
condensation has
been
dissipated,
the
VCR
will
turn
itself ON
agin.
