Do not cover the ventilation holes
The ventilation holes prevent excessive heat build-up inside the VCR during extended

or cloths.
Keep the VCR away from high temperatures

closed vehicles.
Avoid magnets or magnetized objects
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object close to the VCR because this could adversely 
affect the performance of the VCR. When using the VCR together with other equipment, 
keep as much distance as possible between them to prevent them from adversely affecting 
each other’s performance.
No fingers or other objects inside
Touching internal parts of the VCR is dangerous, and may cause serious damage.

This may happen in certain environmental conditions or if old or damaged or damp tapes are used or after long use of the VCR. If 
this occurs then please consult your dealer. Note: Video Head Cleaning is NOT covered by the warranty.

Wipe the VCR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use any cleaning fluid or other chemicals.
Also do not use compressed air to remove dust.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
If the VCR is moved from a cold to a warm place or if a heater is turned on, condensation 
may form on the tape surface and inside the VCR.
If this happens, leave the VCR at room temperature for at least 1 hour before operating it.

Do not use cell phone near the VCR

Condensation may form in the following cases:
• If the VCR is in a room that was very cold before a heater has just been turned on.
• If the VCR is in a room with steam or high humidity.
• If the VCR is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated room.
