Precautions
Safety
• This unit operates on 110 – 240 V AC, 50/
60 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 mains if you do
not intend to use it for an extended period
of time. To disconnect the lead, pull it out
by the plug, never by the lead.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
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 four hours before operating
the unit.
