PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot of electrical outlet and insert fully.

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:

œShield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

œAvoid dusty or humid places.

œAvoid 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.

œInstall the VCR in a horizontal position only.

œAvoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

œAvoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).

œDo not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this may cause playback or recording problems.

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 inside the unit. If you operate the VCR with dew inside, damage may result.

Prevention:

1Make all necessary connections.

2Plug the power cord into a 120 V AC wall outlet.

3Turn on the power.

4Do not operate the VCR or insert a cassette for approximately 2 hours.

This allows the VCR to warm up to the temperature of the room where it will be used.

Avoiding Electric Shock or Fire

œDo not handle the power cord with wet hands.

œDo not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

œIf any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorized service center.

œDo not place anything directly on top of the VCR.
