Cautions for Use
Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the
Cassette Holder.
Avoid operating or leaving the VTR near strong mag­
netic fields.
Be especially careful of large audio
speakers.
Avoid operating or storing the VTR in an excessively
hot, cold, or damp environment as this may result in
damage both to the VTR and to the tape.
This unit is supplied with a 3-prong grounded AC plug—
do not try to defeat its purpose.
If the VTR is not going to be used for a length of time,
turn the power OFF and disconnect the power plug
from the AC outlet.
Do not leave a cassette tape in the VTR when not in
use.
Do not block the ventilation slots on the top of the VTR.
Use this VTR horizontally and do not place anything on
the top panel.
Cassette tape can be used only for one-side, one
direction recording. Two-way or two-track recordings
cannot be made.
Cassette tape can be used for either color or black &
white recording.
Keep the VTR away from flower vases, tubs, sinks, etc.
CAUTION: If liquids should be spilled into the VTR,
serious damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into
the VTR, remove power and consult qualified service
personnel.
Wipe the VTR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use
cleaning fluids, chemicals or wax.
Do not attempt to disassemble the VTR.

mark lights.
Cleaning care for video heads
The video heads are the means by which the VTR
places pictures on the tape during recording, and reads
pictures from the tape during playback.
In the unlikely event that they become dirty enough to
be clogged, no picture will be recorded or played back.
This can easily be determined if, during playback of a
known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture
{picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have
the VTR checked by qualified service personnel.
Note: We do not recommended that you attempt to
clean the video heads yourself.
