GENERAL
1-1. PRECAUTIONS
On safety
¢ Before operating, check that the operating power voltage
and frequency of the unit are identical with those of your
local power supply.
e Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
¢ Unplug the unit from the mains outlet if it is not to be
used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the
lead, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the lead itself.
e The unit is not disconnected from the mains (ac power
source) as long as it is connected to the mains outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.
On installation
e Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up. Do not cover the holes on the top panel.
© Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation slots.
¢ Do not install the unit near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
¢ The unit is designed for operation in a horizontal
position. Do not instail it in an inclined position.
¢ Keep the unit and cassette tapes away from equipment
with strong magnets, as for example a microwave oven
or a large loudspeaker.
¢ Do not place any heavy object (over 13 kg or 28 Ibs 10
Oz) on the unit.
Never place any object on the tuning compartment nor
on the top of the front panel.
On operation
¢ When the unit is not in use, turn the power off to
conserve energy and to extend its useful life.
e Remove and store video cassettes after recording or
playback.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a dry soft cloth,
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine
which might damage the finish.
On repacking

make an ideal container in which to transport the unit.
When shipping the unit to another location, repack it as
illustrated on the carton.
On cassette care
Store cassettes in their cases and keep them in an upright
position to prevent intrusion of dust and uneven winding.
