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.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards
•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
•Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall out- let. Grasp it by the plug.
•If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an autho- rized 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 (Moisture Condensation)
•Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in your TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and the TV/VCR could be damaged. If you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.

•Make sure the clock is set. Details are on pages 12-17.

(The clock will reset itself automati- cally if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14-17.If you are not using the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12-13.) The timer recording will not occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the power failure.
