Safety
• Check that the unit’s operating voltage is

identical with your local power supply. The
unit operates on 220 – 240V AC, 50Hz.

• 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 outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the unit from the mains 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.
