Precautions
Safety
· This unit operates on 220 240 V AC, 50 Hz.
Check that the unit's operating voltage is
identical with your local power supply.
· If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit
and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
· The unit is not disconnected from the mains as
long as it is connected to the mains, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
· 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 three hours before operating the unit.
