BEFORE YOU BEGIN
REMOTE CONTROL
Your TV/VCR’s remote control is packed sepa-
rately. Be sure to locate it before you store the
packing material.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Condensation inside the TV/VCR can cause
tape jams or video head damage. When you first
install your TV/VCR, or when you move it from a
cold area to a warm one, let it sit for about 2
hours before you plug it in and begin operation.
This allows complete evaporation of any mois-
ture inside the TV/VCR that could damage it.
Caution: Do not use your TV/VCR in areas of
high humidity.
