WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the

unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Mains lead must only be changed at a qualified

service shop.

Precautions

Safety

• This unit operates on 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz.

Check that the unit’s operating voltage is

identical with your local power supply.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit

and have it checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as

long as it is connected to the mains, 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.
