HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE

THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

The OPERATE button does not completely shut off mains
power from the unit, but switches operating current on and
off.
This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC Publ. 65.
Please follow these precautions. Not doing so may result
in damage to the VCP, remote control, or video cassette.
•Avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight.
•Avoid extreme cold.
•Avoid extreme humidity.
•Avoid dust.
•Avoid places subject to vibrations.
•Avoid strong magnetic fields.
•Do not block the VCP’s ventilation openings.
•Do not place anything heavy on the VCP or remote
control.
•Do not place anything which might spill on top of the
VCP or remote control.
•Do not place the VCP on cushions, pillows, or thick
carpeting.
•Use the VCP in a stable, horizontal position only.
•Place cassettes in cassette cases and store vertically.
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.
When transporting
7Be sure to remove cassette from VCP before packing.
7Avoid violent shocks to the VCP during packing and trans-
port.
7Only cassettes marked “VHS” can be used with this video
cassette player.
