PRECAUTIONS

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:

œShield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

œAvoid dusty or humid places.

œAvoid 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.

œInstall the VCR in a horizontal position only.

œAvoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

œAvoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).

œDo not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire

œDo not handle the power cord with wet hands.

œDo not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

œIf any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorized service center.

œDo 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:

1Do 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 for operation.
