If the VCR Doesn't Work Right
Many operational problems are easily remedied by reviewing the instructions in this manual and trying out some
different controls and settings. The chart on page 54 covers the more common problems that new VCR owners
encounter.
Don't Attempt Repairs Yourself
Do not remove the cover or the back of the VCR - this will void the warranty and endanger your safety. The
exposed uninsulated voltage in this unit may be high enough to cause electrical shock. It is dangerous to make
contact with any inside part, and none of these parts are intended to be serviced by an untrained user. To be
safe, refer service problems to qualified service personnel.
