SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTIONS ON THIS UNIT FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON IT. LET THE UNIT STAND WITH POWER ON (SEE BELOW).

■WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?

When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.

■MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:

•When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.

•After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.

■WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDI- TIONS,

"DEW" appears on the screen and all the function buttons except the EJECT button (or the STOP/ EJECT button on the unit) are made non-operational to protect the video heads. In this case, eject the video cassette, leave the unit turned on and let it remain at room temperature until moisture condensa- tion disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.

LOCATION AND HANDLE

•If you cause a static discharge when touching the unit, and the unit fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait 10 minutes and plug it back in. The unit should return to normal operation.

•Avoid extreme heat or cold. (41˚F/5˚C-104˚F/40˚C)

•Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference (e.g. speakers, etc). Doing so may cause erratic operation of the unit including picture and/or sound distortion or noise.

•Avoid extreme moisture and dust.

•The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.

•Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax directly on the unit or use forced air to remove dust.

•Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a horizontal (flat) position only.

•Keep the unit away from flower vases, sinks, etc.

If liquids should be spilled into the unit, serious damage will result. If you spill any liquids into the unit, unplug the AC power cord immediately and consult qualified service personnel before attempting to use it again.

•When you finish operating the unit, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.

•When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the AC power cord.

•To protect the unit from a lightning storm, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.

INSTALL THE TV/VCR IN YOUR CAR

•	For a car equipped with air bags, be sure to follow the
	manufacturer’s instructions whenever performing any	ENGLISH
	electrical wiring work. Incorrect wiring can cause the air
	bag system of a car to malfunction.
•	Never cut the insulation from the power supply lead in
	an attempt to draw power for another device.
	Doing so can overload the current capacity of the
	lead, creating the danger of fire and electric shock.
•	For proper installation and wiring, special technical
	knowledge is required. If you have any doubts about
	where to position or how to install components,
	contact the retailer where you purchased the product,
	your automobile dealership, or an automotive service
	provider. Note that you will be charged separately for
	installation work.
•	Use all of the components that come with this product
	only as directed. Improper use of components can
	damage interior components or result in improper
	anchoring of components, which creates the danger of
	accident and personal injury.
•	Improper installation creates the danger of fire and
	accident.
•	Take care so wires are not pinched between chassis
	parts, by screws, or by the seat as it slides on its rails,
	etc. Such conditions can cut wires and cause shorts,
	creating the danger of accident, electric shock, and fire.
•	Avoid installation in areas subject to strong vibration
	and areas where secure anchoring cannot be
	achieved. Components installed in such areas can
	work loose, creating the danger of accident and
	personal injury.
• Never install the TV/VCR on the dashboard or in any
	other location where it obstructs forward vision.
• Never attach the stand to the roof of your car. Doing
	so creates the danger of the TV/VCR falling down.
• Never attach the stand to a sharply angled surface or to
	a surface that causes the TV/VCR to face downwards.
	Such installation can cause the TV/VCR to fall.
•	Be sure to turn the ignition key of the car to the “OFF”
	position before connecting or disconnecting wires and
	cables. Failure to do so creates the danger of electric
	shock and personal injury.
