PRECAUTIONS
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:
œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
œ Avoid dusty or humid places.
œ Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of
the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because
this will block the ventilation holes.
œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot
locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this
page).
œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
may cause playback or recording problems.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire
œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorized service center.
œ Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.
Moisture Condensation Problems
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area
to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,
dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator
(À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside,
damage may result.
Prevention:
1
Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.
When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew
indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready
for operation.
