When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides

to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

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

1.DO NOT place the recorder…

…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 recorder’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 recorder or remote control.

4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the recorder 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 con- tainers 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 recorder during transport.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in 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 recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

ATTENTION

TO MOBILE PHONE USERS:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.

ON PLACING THE RECORDER:

Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields. Do not place this appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.

■Cassettes marked “VHS” (or “S-VHS”) can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recording is not possible with this model.

■This model is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) that makes it possible to play back S-VHS recordings in the SP mode with regular VHS resolution.
