This VCR is based on a VHS-PAL signal system. Only video
cassette bearing the ~ symbol can be used.
Video cassette recorders bearing the
“I-IQ”mark
incorporate VHS high picture quality technology. Note that
there is interchangeability with former VHS video cassette
recorders.

[ASO1 (Active Sideband optimum)
❑
●
VCRs with the ASO mark contain a special picture-
enhancing circuit. This circuit reduces picture noise during
playback and automatically compensates the playback
image to produce the best possible picture quality. It is
especially effective for playing back worn rental tapes.
ASO is a Nokia patent used under license.

Operating precautions
I
•I Removing the cabinet and touching the inside of the VCR
with your hand, a screwdriver, or anything else, is not only
harmful to the unit, but is also dangerous.
TO PREVENT FIRE
OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
❑
The unauthorized recording of television programmed, video
tapes, films and other such material may infringe upon
copyright or the rights of third parties.
•! Be sure to use this VCR only in a temperature range of 5°C
to 40”C and at less than 85% humidity.
•l This VCR is sensitive to magnetism. Do not expose it to a
magnetic source.
❑ Place the VCR on a flat, stable, level surface. Never subject
it to violent shaking or any other shock or impact.
•l Do not block the air vents that are provided to prevent the
temperature inside the VCR from rising excessively.
The POWER button of this VCR is a secondary circuit, and
does not disconnect the unit from the AC power source, even if
the VCR is in the stand-by position, as long as the power cord
is connected to an AC electrical outlet.
Note: Stand-by is the condition in which the digital display
‘)
becomes dimmer and the date and time are displayed.
‘If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced. Return to a SANYO authorized service center for
replacement of the cord.
I Caution concerning condensation
I
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
/CR, and whenever you use it in
places which are subject
to condensation:
1. Connect the antenna cable and make all other necessary
connections.
2. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
3. 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.
4. Do not insert a video cassetie.
It takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to completely eliminate
condensation. Wait at least this long before
using the
VCR.
I
Direct power on and go
I
When the VCR is in stand-by, press any one of the control
buttons to turn on the power and perform the respective
button’s function.
Note: This function is not provided for the REC button. This is
to prevent the VCR from being inadve~ently put into
video recording condition. Normally, when only power
on is required, press the
POWER button.
[
Auto power on
I
The power is automatically switched on as a cassette is
inserted while the VCR is in the stand-by condition.
I MEP (Mis-Erasure Prevention) eject
I
The cassette will automatically be ejected if recording is
attempted on
a video cassette without an erasure-
prevention tab.
I
Auto rewind
I
The VCR automatically rewinds the tape when it reaches the .,,
end.
,,
Note: This function does not operate with timer recording or “~.
QSR timer recording.
d
I
Auto play
I
*
The VCR will play back the tape automatically when a video
cassette without an erasure-prevention tab has been inserted.
I
Auto eject
I
When a video cassette without an erasure-prevention tab is
played to the end of the tape, the tape will be automatically
rewound and then the cassette will be ejected.
I
Power off eject
The video cassette will be ejected when the EJECT button is
pressed even when the VCR is in stand-by condition.
I Auto-timer stand-by I
When timer setting is completed, the VCR’s power is
automatically switched off and the VCR remains in the timer
stand-by mode.
