For your safety (General)

Since this VTR is designed for metal tapes only, make sure that only the designated tapes are used. An or- dinary VHS tape cannot be used. Removal of the covers on electrical appliances for maintenance purposes may lead to electric shocks.

Personnel should therefore adhere strictly to the normal safety precautions.

Some customer-preference switches are located on printed circuit boards within the unit. Be sure to turn off the power prior to opening the unit, before changing the position of any switch, and especially before re- moving or reinserting any circuit board.
