4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION
HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If blocked, heat
build-up may result in a fire hazard or heat
damage to cassettes or discs.
For your protection:
a. Never cover ventilation slots while unit is
ON, or operate unit while placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book
case or rack, unless properly ventilated.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS
OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE
CHANGES
Do not place unit over or near a heater or
radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed
vehicles, in high temperature locations [over
95 °F (35 °C)], or in over 75 % humidity. If unit
is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm
one, moisture may con dense in unit and on the
tape causing damage. Never subject unit to
vibration, impact, or place it so that the surface
is tilted as internal parts may be seriously
dam aged.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Never place unit on support or stand that is
not firm, level, and adequately strong. The
unit could fall causing serious injury to a child
or adult and damage to the unit.
• Move any appliance and cart
combination with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause
objects to overturn.
• Carefully follow all operating
instructions.

INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from power source indicated on
unit or in this manual. If uncertain, have your
Electric Utility Service Company or Video
Products Dealer verify your home power
source.
2 POWER CORD PLUG
For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug
(one wide blade), or a three-wire grounding
type plug. Always hold the plug firmly and
make sure your hands are dry when plugging
in or unplugging the AC power cord. Regularly
remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug.

The plug fits into outlet only one way. If it
cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still
will not fit, have an electrician install the proper
wall outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
The plug requires a three-hole grounding
outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install
the proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
3 POWER CORD

against electrical shock, fire or personal injury:
- Keep power cord away from heating
appliances and walking traffic. Do not rest
heavy objects on, or roll such objects over the
power cord.
- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
- An extension cord should have the same type
plug (polarized or grounding) and must be
securely connected.
- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords
are fire hazards.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged
or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and
should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
