Precautions

Notes on the video cassette recorder

Do not install the unit in a place subject to direct sunlight or heat sources

If you do, its cabinet, mechanical parts, etc., may be damaged.

Do not install the unit in an extremely hot place

If the unit is left in a car parked with its windows closed (especially in summer), its cabinet may be damaged or it may not work correctly.

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location

Moisture may condense inside the unit and cause damage to the video head and tape. If you use the unit in a place subject to direct cold currents from an air conditioner, moisture may also condense inside the unit.

Do not place a heavy objects on the unit

The cabined may be damaged, or the VCR may not work correctly.

Do not handle the recorder roughly

Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock.

To avoid damaging the cabinet finish

Plastic is often used for the surface finishing of the recorder. Do not spray a volatile solvent such as an insecticide toward the cabinet or place rubber or vinyl products on the cabinet for a long time. If you do, the finish of the cabinet may be damaged or the coating may come off.

Do not clean the cabinet with thinner or benzine

The cabinet may be damaged or its coating may come off. When you use a chemical-impregnated cloth, use it according to its directions.

Clean the cabinet with soft dry cloth

When the cabinet is very dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution and finish it with dry cloth.

Do not put magnetic objects close to the unit

Magnetic fields may damage the recording.

Checking the video heads every 1000 hours

A VCR is a high-precision piece of equipment that records and plays back the picture on a magnetic tape. In particular, the video head and other mechanical parts become dirty or worn. To maintain a clean picture, we recommend maintenance every 1000 hours, though the using condition may differ depending on temperature, humidity, dust, etc.
