The power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

Precautions

Safety

For SLV-L59 CL/CS/PR, L79HF CL/CS and L89HF CL/CS, operate the unit on 110 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. For SLV-L49 MX, L52 PA/PC, L59 VZ, X55 MX, L69HF MX, L72HF PA/PC, L79HF VZ, L89HF MX/VZ and X66HF MX, operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.

If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.

Installing

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.

Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the VCR and cause damage to the video head and tape. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about three hours before operating the unit.

Caution

Television programs, films, video tapes and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such material may be contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws.
