PRECAUTIONS
Safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabi-
net, turn off the unit and have it checked by quali-
fied personnel before operating it any further.
To disconnect the mains lead, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the lead itself.
Installation
Choose a location in which air can pass through
the ventilation holes in the bottom, top and back
of the unit to prevent it from overheating.
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 vibrations or
shock.
Do not place heavy objects or heat-generating
objects on the VCR, or the cabinet could be dam-
aged or the temperature inside the VCR could
rise, which could cause a fault.
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near
the VCR because it will adversely affect the per-
formance of the VCR.
Do not install the unit in an inclined position.
The unit is designed for operation in a horizontal
position.
Operation
Condensation
If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor
in the air will condense on the surface of the
glass.
This is the condensation of moisture.
Condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the VCR, will cause damage to the
tape. The VCR should not be operated for at least
2 hours after being moved from a cold to a hot
environment to avoid condensation from occur-
ring on the head drum.
Cleaning
Be careful; when the surface of the case is wiped
with a volatile agent such as benzine, alcohol,
thinner, etc., or a chemically processed cloth, the
surface finish may be degraded or its coating may
peel off.
Repacking
It is wise to save the packing materials and box in
case you ever need to ship or store your unit.
