INTRODUCTION

Precautions

Place of storage and use

Please avoid storing or using this VTR in the fol-

lowing places:

Extremely hot or cold places beyond the al-

 

lowable temperature for operation (5˚C – 40˚C)

Humid or dry places beyond the allowable hu-

 

midity range for operation (30% –80% RH)

Dusty or sandy places

Places exposed to oil, smoke or steam, such

 

as the kitchen vicinity

Intensely vibrating or unstable places

Places prone to condensation

Places that generate strong magnetic fields,

 

e.g., transformer or motor

Places near devices that generate electric

 

waves, e.g., transceiver or mobile phone

Places that generate radiation, X-rays or cor-

 

rosive gases

Handling the unit

Please do not place heavy objects on the VTR, like a monitor or TV.

Please do not insert foreign objects into the cassette slot.

Mind your finger when loading the cassette. Please be careful not to get your fingers clamped when loading the cassette to prevent injury.

Place this VTR out of reach of young children. As injury may result from fingers getting clamped when loading the cassette, please keep this VTR out of reach of young children.

Please do not block the ventilation openings.

Avoid violent shocks to the unit. Do not drop the unit.

Please remove the cassette tape from the cassette slot when transporting the unit.

Please remove the AC adapter to save energy when the unit is not in use.

Maintaining the unit (Please turn off the power before performing maintenance work.)

Please wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not wipe it with thinner or benzene lest the surface melts or becomes dull. For stubborn stains, wipe first with a water-diluted neutral detergent and then wipe dry.

Please use the provided AC adapter to connect the VTR to a power source.

Daily maintenance and regular inspection

This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated component continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, please perform daily maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned. Please perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.

Regular inspection (maintenance)

The tasks of maintenance involved are similar to that of replacing the engine oil or tire of a car. Depending on the number of usage hours, please clean, inspect or replace the components as follows:

2. For a single cleaning session, use it up to 4 times.

3. Please refer to the following table as a guide for cleaning:

Memo:

1.Under low humidity conditions, (10% RH to 30% RH), please perform head cleaning at intervals of half of the following stated periods.

2.If M-DV80 is used immediately after cleaning, the VTR warning (“HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!”) may disappear only after the tape has run for some time.

3.Please use the cleaning tape at room temperature (10˚C to 35˚C).

4.Instructions for using the cleaning tape are stated inside its case. The contents may be slightly different from those stated here.
