Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, remote control or video cassette.

1.DO NOT place the VCR . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

... in direct sunlight.

... in a dusty environment.

... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2.DO NOT block the VCR’s ventilation openings.

3.DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or remote control.

4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or remote control.

5.AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.

**MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the VCR’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry before inserting a tape.

**ABOUT HEAD CLEANING

Use the optional head cleaning cassette DFC-2 if there is a sudden deterioration in picture or sound quality.

How to Use

1.Insert the head cleaning cassette into your recorder. Press Play and then wait for about 15 seconds before pressing Stop.

2.Eject the head cleaning cassette. Insert a D-VHS tape to confirm picture and sound quality.

3.If deterioration in either picture or sound quality remains, repeat the cleaning process.

CAUTIONS

■Use only head cleaning cassettes marked with a mark on this unit.

■Do not rewind the head cleaning cassette halfway through the cleaning process; rewind only after it has reached the end.

■Do not use the head cleaning cassette for longer than 15 seconds at a time.

■If there is deterioration in either picture or sound quality after three cleaning attempts, the problem may not be caused by dirty heads. Please consult your dealer.

■The head cleaning cassette may be used approximately 100 times.

■The head cleaning cassette can not be used for recording or playback.
