Many operational problems are easily remedied by reviewing the instructions in this manual and trying out some different controls and settings. The chart on page 57 covers the more common problems that new VCR owners encounter.

Don't Attempt Repairs Yourself

Do not remove the cover or the back of the VCR - this will void the warranty and endanger your safety. The exposed uninsulated voltage in this unit may be high enough to cause electrical shock. It is dangerous to make contact with any inside part, and none of these parts are intended to be serviced by an untrained user. To be safe, refer service problems to qualified service personnel.
