Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:

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

Avoid dusty or humid places.

Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.

Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.

Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.

Do not use this TV/VCR under high temperature conditions.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the cord from the AC (alternating current) wall out- let. Grasp it by the plug.

If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, disconnect the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an authorized service center.

Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.

Dew Warning/Display (Moisture Condensation)

The TV/VCR has a sensor that detects moisture condensation. Moisture may condense inside the TV/VCR when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or under con- ditions of high humidity. If excessive moisture is present inside the TV/VCR, "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE WAIT" appears on the screen. While "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE WAIT" appears, a safety device prevents the VCR from operating until moisture is gone. When "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE WAIT" appears on the screen, keep the TV/VCR power on, but do not try to play a tape. Allow at least two hours for the TV/VCR to dry. "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE WAIT" may appear for up to one hour after moisture is gone. During this time, you can not insert a cassette.
