54EN CAUTIONS (cont.)

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. During use . . .

..... make sure the cassette bears the VHS-C mark.

..... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes

automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

..... make sure the cassette is positioned properly

when inserting.

..... do not load and unload the cassette

repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

..... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes

the tape to fingerprints and dust.

2. Store cassettes . . .

..... away from heaters or other heat sources.

..... out of direct sunlight.

..... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary

shock or vibration.

..... where they won’t be exposed to strong magnetic

fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).

..... vertically, in their original cases.

•If you leave power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

About moisture condensation . . .

You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to form on the glass‘ outer surface. This same phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, under extremely humid conditions or in a place directly subjected to the cool air from an air conditioner.

Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.

..... in places of over 50°C (122°F).

..... in places where humidity is extremely low

(below 35%) or extremely high (above 80%).

..... in direct sunlight.
