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 120 V 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.
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.
