Sanyo SRT-8040P Manuel D’Utilisation

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:

œ

Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.

œ

Avoid dusty or humid places.

œ

Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of
the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because
this will block the ventilation holes.

œ

Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.

œ

Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

œ

Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot
locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this
page).

œ

Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
may cause playback or recording problems.

œ

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

œ

Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

œ

If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorized service centre.

œ

Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.

When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area
to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,
dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator
(

À

) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside,

damage may result.

1

Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.

When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew
indicator (

À

) will turn off and the VCR will be ready

for operation.

The power on/stand-by mode is selected by pressing the
STANDBY/ON button.

Stand-by mode

Power on mode

“Stand-by mode” is the condition in which only the time is
displayed.

Do not forget that even in the stand-by mode there is an
electrical voltage inside the VCR as long as it is
connected to a wall socket.

Disconnect the power cord from the wall socket if the
VCR is not to be used for a long time.
