Precautions
On safety
• Operate the unit on 120 V AC, 60 Hz only.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear of the unit.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power
cord. If the power cord is damaged, turn off the
power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit
with a damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord.
On installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
buildup.
• 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.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipment
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or
large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, moisture may condense inside the VCR and
cause damage to the video head and tape. When you
first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold
to a warm location, wait for about one hour before
operating the unit.
On video cassettes
Remove and store video cassettes after recording or
playback.
On cleaning
As a safety precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning
it.
• To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically
clean it with a mild detergent solution. Never use
strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive
cleaners since they will damage the cabinet.
When cleaning, keep liquid away from electrical
contacts and connectors.
• When there is a buildup of dust on air vents, use a
vacuum cleaner to remove it.
On repacking
• Before repacking, disconnect all cables and
connecting cords.
• Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container with which to transport
the unit. When shipping the unit to another location,
repack it.
On transportation
When transporting the unit, protect it from vibration
and impact.
