WARNING
:TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK);
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
This lightning flash with arrowhead sym-
bol within
an
equilateral triangle
is
intend-
ed
to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product's enclosure that may be of suffi-
cient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within
an
equilater-
al
triangle
is
intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions
in
the
literature accompanying the product.
CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO
NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH

IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: Many
television programs
and
films are copyrighted.
In
certain circumstances, copyright law may apply
to
private in-home video taping of copyrighted materi-
als.
FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or
use
radio frequency energy. Changes or modifica-
tions to this equipment may cause
harmful interfer-
ence
unless the modifications are expressly
approved
in
the instruction manual. The user could
lose
the authority to operate this equipment if
an
unauthorized change or modification
is
made.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject
to
the following two conditions:
(1)
this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2)
this device must accept any interference
received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If
you
pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor
in
the air will condense
on
the surface of the glass.
This
is
moisture condensation. Moisture conden-
sation
on
the head drum, one of the most crucial
parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape.
When the VCR
is
exposed to a rapid temperature
change from cold
to
warm, some condensation
will occur. Under this condition, connect the power
cord to the
AC
line, press POWER
on
and allow at
least two hours for the
VCR
to dry out.
The
serial number is found
on
the back of this
unit. This number is unique to this unit and not
available to others.
You
should record requested
information here
and
retain this guide as a per-
manent record of your purchase.

not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can
result
in
a risk of fire or elec-
tric shock.
