Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom
of the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.
• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.
Electrical Shock And Fire Hazards
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall
outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
• If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an
authorized service center.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.
• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.
Dew Warning (Moisture Condensation)
• Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heat-
ing a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in
your TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and
the TV/VCR could be damaged. If you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep
the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to
dry.
