PRECAUTIONS

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

DO NOT OPERATE THIS VCR FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON THE VCR.

WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?

When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.

MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:

•When you move this VCR from a cold to a warm place.

•After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.

WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the POWER button to turn on and leave the unit at room temperature until moisture condensation disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.

LOCATION AND HANDLE

•If you cause a static discharge when touching the VCR, and the VCR fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait 10 minutes and plug it back in. The VCR should return to normal operation.

•Avoid extreme heat or cold. (41˚F/5˚C-104˚F/40˚C)

•Do not place the VCR on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference, e.g. TV, speakers, etc. Doing so may cause erratic operation of the VCR including picture and/or sound distortion or noise.

•Avoid extreme moisture and dust.

•The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.

•Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax directly on the VCR or use forced air to remove dust.

•Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a horizontal (flat) position only.

•Keep the VCR away from flower vases, sinks, etc. If liquids should be spilled into the VCR, serious damage will result. If you spill any liquids into the VCR, unplug the AC power cord immediately and consult qualified service personnel before attempting to use the VCR again.

•When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.

•When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the AC power cord.

•To protect the VCR from a lightning storm, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.

POWER SOURCE

TO USE AC POWER SOURCE

Use the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on AC. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120V 60Hz polarized AC outlet.

NOTES:

1.Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than the specified voltage (120V 60Hz). Use the attached power cord only.

2.If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized AC outlet, do not attempt to file or cut the blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
