About Moisture Condensation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense on the video head drum. If this happens, the tape may stick to the head drum and it may be damaged or the unit may not operate correctly. To avoid possible damage caused by moisture condensation, be sure not to leave a cassette inside the compartment when the unit is not in use. When bringing the unit from a cold place to a warm place, wait for about 10 minutes before operating it.

For general safety:

Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Do not open the rear cover.

For safe installation:

Do not block the ventilation openings.

Do not install the unit in hot, humid, or exces- sively dusty places.

Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

For safe operations:

Do not operate the unit on anything but 110–240 V AC.

Do not operate the unit if any liquid or solid object falls in it—have it checked immediately.

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.
