Operating precautions
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this product to rain or moisture.
CAUTION:
Do not put your hand or other objects in the
cassette loading slot because of the risk of injury
or an accident. Be sure to keep small children
away from the VCR.
Note:
If the unit does not operate properly, switch it off,
refer to the ‘(TROUBLESHOOTING” or consult a
dealer or a service centre.
Place the VCR on a flat, stable, level surface. Never
subject it to violent shaking or any other shock or
impact.
Be sure to use this VCR only in a temperature range
of 5°C to 40°C (41 ‘F to I05”F) and at less than 80%
humidity.
Do not expose the unit to high temperatures.
Excessive heat (heat sources such as heaters,
ovens, closed car on hot days, etc. ) may damage the
unit.
Do not use the unit under the following conditions:
in locations with high humidity
in presence of excessive dirt or dust
in areas subject to strong vibrations
near strong magnetic fields (e.g. transmitting
antennas, motors, fluorescent lights, etc. )
Do not stack anything on top of your VCR, or block
the air vents, to prevent damaging or overheating.
Do not place anything, except VHS video cassette
tapes, in the unit.
Do not allow rain, steam, dew, salt water, sand, oily
smoke, metal objects, etc. entering the unit.
The
POWER button of this VCR is a secondary

the wall outlet, even if the VCR is in stand-by, as
long as the power cord is connected to the VCR
power socket.
Caution concerning condensation
Be careful of condensation
Condensation is the moisture that forms on the
outside of a glass when you fill it with cold water,
Condensation can also form inside a VCR when it is
suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm, humid
one, or when a heater has been turned on to quickly
heat the room.
Particular care must be taken with your VCR because
water particles that form on the video head drum,
which is the main VCR mechanism, can cause the
video tape to stick to the drum, This prevents proper
tape travel and may damage both tape and
mechanism,
Follow the procedures below the first time you
use the VCR, and whenever you use it in places
which are subject to condensation:
6
;
OConnect the aerial output cable and make all
other necessary connections.
@
Plug the power cord into a wall outlet,
@Turn on the VCR power to warm it up and
speed up the drying of any water particles
that may have formed on the video head
drum,
@Do not insert a video cassette,
Wait for 1-1/2 to 2 hours before using the
VCR.

Tuning or presetting the VCR channels
For New Zealand conditions, presetting channel
using auto tuning is not advised. This is due to the
order that television stations will be preset in some
New Zealand cities.
Use the manual tuning mode (refer to “Manual
tuning”),
This will ensure the channels are preset in the
correct positions and you will have full control of
tuning.
This is very important for correct G-Code operation,
Ideally for simpler operation, channels should be
preset as follows:
Television station
Programme position
number
TV One
1
TV TWO
2
TV Three

For additional channels in your area it is over to
you to select the most logical channel position to
place them,
* Sky Television
4
* Canterbury TV
5
* Action TV

* When you use the G-Code function to
programme a recording from a certain channel for
the first time, it will ask you the programme position
number that channel was preset to, That setting will
be memorized and automatically set the next time
the same channel is selected.
