However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
–Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
–Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
–Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
–Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the recorder and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
•Operate the recorder only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
•The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off.
•Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.
•If you are not going to use the recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
On placement
•Place the recorder in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
•If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the recorder and cause damage to the video head, tape, and the optical block. Should this occur, the recorder may not operate properly. When you first install the recorder, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, remove the disc and tape and leave the recorder turned on for about three hours before operating the recorder.
•Do not place the recorder on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes.
•Do not place the recorder in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.
