When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure
that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage
to the VCR, Remote or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the VCR ...
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.
... in direct sunlight.
... in a dusty environment.
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the VCR's ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper
or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the VCR or Remote.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the VCR or
Remote.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric
shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water.
Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or liquids
(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups,
etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the VCR during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it
from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid
conditions--just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will
cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may
occur, keep the VCR's power turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
How to use the Remote
Before use, insert two AAA size batteries into the Remote with the
polarity (
and
) matched correctly as indicated on the battery
compartment or on the lid.
q Point the Remote toward the remote sensor on the target
component.
q The maximum operating distance of the remote control is about 5 m.
NOTE:
If the Remote does not work properly, remove its batteries, wait for
a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try again.
Video heads cleaning
The heads get dirty in the following cases:
q in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity.
q in a dusty environment
q flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes
q continuous usage for a long time
Use a dry cleaning cassette -- TCL-2 -- when:
q Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back.
q The picture is unclear or no picture appears.
