This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC plug with
an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can
be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Precautions
Safety
• Operate the unit only on 120V AC, 60 Hz.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of
safety and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your Sony
dealer.
• 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.
• 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 one
hour before operating the unit.
