Auto power on
The video cassette player is automatically turned on when the tape is inserted.
Auto rewind
The video tape is automatically rewound when the end of the tape is reached during the play, recording or shuttle search forward mode.
Auto playback
If the video cassette’s safety tab has been removed, playback will begin automatically when the tape is inserted into the video cassette player.
Power off eject
Even when the video cassette player’s power is off, pressing the eject button will turn the power on and eject the tape. Once ejected, the power will be turned off again automatically.
Auto head cleaning
When a tape is loaded or ejected the VCP video head is cleaned automatically.
1.DO NOT place the player . . .
... 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 player's ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3.DO NOT place heavy objects on the player or remote control.
4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the player or remote control. If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
5.DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6.DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7.DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8.AVOID violent shocks to the player during transport.
Beware of moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCP 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 VCP’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
