Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:
•Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
•Avoid dusty or humid places.
•Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of
the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because
this will block the ventilation holes.
•Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
•Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
•Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot
locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”,
this page).
•Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as
this may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire

•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
•Do not pull on the power cord.
•If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorised service centre.
•Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.

Moisture Condensation Problems

Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area
to a warm area or placed in a location with high
humidity, dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew
indicator (À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with
dew inside, damage may result.
Prevention:
1Make all necessary connections.
2Plug the power cord.
3Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.
When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew
indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready
to operate.
