IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video product, 
safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument.  But, safety is your responsibility too. 
This page lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of a Video 
Cassette Recorder and accessory equipment.  Please read it carefully before operating your video 
product and keep it in a handy place for future reference. 
INSTALLATION 
1  Read and Follow Instructions -- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the 
video product is operated.  Follow all operating and use instructions. 
 
 
 
 
       
 
2  Retain Instruction -- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. 
3  Heed Warnings -- Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating instructions. 
4  Polarized Plug -- This video product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug 
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.  This is a 
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.  If the plug 
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  To prevent electric shock do 
not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be 
fully inserted without blade exposure.  If you need an extension, use a polarized cord. 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
5  Power Sources -- This video product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated 
on the marking label.  If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your video 
dealer or local power company.  For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other 
sources, refer to the operating instructions. 
6  Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or 
electric shock.  Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power 
cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken plugs.  They may result in a shock or fire hazard.  
Periodically examine the cord and have it replaced by your service technician if appearance indicates 
damage or deteriorated insulation. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7  Power Cord Protection -- Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
