Before requesting service for this unit, check the chart below for a possible cause of the problem you are experiencing. Some simple checks or
a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the problem and restore proper operation. If you are in doubt about some of the check points,
or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the directory of Authorized Service Centers (enclosed with this unit)
to locate a convenient service center, or consult your dealer for instructions.

This unit uses a microcomputer to perform a large number of operations. If it fails to operate no matter which button is pressed, disconnect the
power cord, and then wait a few moments before re-connecting it. Then set the time and re-program the timer.

Notes
• If something important is going to be recorded, always test-record first to check that the recording turns out properly before proceeding

with the actual recording.

• The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any damages resulting from missed opportunities or accidental erasure that occurs

while conducting recording or play operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in the unit, or for any incidental damage.
