Precautions
Safety
• For SLV-678HF / 677F1F, operate the unit only
on 120 V AC, 60 Hz. For SLV-678HF PX, 
operate the unit on 110 to 240 V AC, 50/60 
Hz.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified 
personnel before operating it any further.
• (SLV-678HF / 677HF) 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.
• (SLV-678HF/677HF) 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.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is 
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit 
itself has been turned off.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent
internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, 
draperies) that may block the ventilation 
slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place 
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, 
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a 
horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as 
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• 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.
