MOISTURE CONDENSATION

DO NOT OPERATE THIS VCR FOR AT LEAST TWO
OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR
CONDENSES ON THE VCR.
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example,
water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the
glass. This is called moisture condensation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE
FOLLOWING CASES;
•When you move this VCR from a cold to a warm place.
•After heating a cold room or under extremely humid
conditions.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the POWER
button to turn on and leave the unit at room temperature
until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take
two or three hours.
•When you finish operating the VCR, always unload
the cassette and turn off the power.
•When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the
AC power cord.
•To protect the VCR from a lightning storm, unplug the
AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna.

POWER SOURCE

TO USE AC POWER SOURCE
Use the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on
AC. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120V 60Hz
polarized AC outlet.
NOTES:
1.Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than the
specified voltage (120V 60Hz). Use the attached
power cord only.
2.If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized
AC outlet, do not attempt to file or cut the blade. It is the
user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the
obsolete outlet.
PRECAUTIONS

and the VCR fails to function, simply unplug the unit
from the wall outlet, wait 10 minutes and plug it back
in. The VCR should return to normal operation.
•Avoid extreme heat or cold. (41˚F/5˚C-104˚F/40˚C)

may cause electromagnetic interference, e.g. TV,
speakers, etc. Doing so may cause erratic operation
of the VCR including picture and/or sound distortion or
noise.
•Avoid extreme moisture and dust.
•The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not
block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering
the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.
•Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the
cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax
directly on the VCR or use forced air to remove dust.
•Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a
horizontal (flat) position only.
•Keep the VCR away from flower vases, sinks, etc.
If liquids should be spilled into the VCR, serious
damage will result. If you spill any liquids into the
