Precautions
Moisture condensation
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place,
do not operate it for two or three hours.
What is moisture condensation?
When cold water is poured into a glass, for example, water vapour in
the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture
condensation.
Moisture will condense on the unit in the following cases;
When you move this VCR from a cold to a warm place.
After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
If you experience the above conditions:
Plug the mains lead into an AC outlet, set the POWER button to ON
and leave at the room temperature until moisture condensation
disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take for two or
three hours.
To prevent injuries do not insert your hand into the
cassette loading slot.
Watch out for toddlers who often love to imitate the
behavior of adults. In some cases, toys inserted into
the cassette loading slot have resulted in expensive
repairs.
Leave repairs to a qualified service technician.

Avoid locations subjected to extreme heat and cold.
Avoid to place the unit on any surfaces that may by
subjected to vibrations or shocks.
Precautions
Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the
cassette loading slot. Also, when cleaning the unit,
never spray cleaner or furniture wax directly on the
unit housing.
NO !
Do not place flower vases on top or next to the unit.
Water spilled into the unit could cause serious unit
damages. In case of water damage, do not unplug
the power cord from its wall outlet and call for
qualified service immediately.
Cleaning Precautions
For cleaning the VCR we recommend a mild soap
solution and a slightly moistened soft cloth as it is
used for furniture. To avoid electrical shocks unplug
the AC power cord from its wall outlet before
cleaning. Be especially careful when cleaning plastic
components.
OK !
To protect the unit during a thunder storm, unplug the
power cord and disconnect the antenna.
When you leave your home for a long period of time,
unplug the power cord for safety reasons.
OK !

If you don’t have a SCART-cable at hand just now, perform now the output channel adjustment (AV-channel)
(see pg. 9). This VCR will work without connecting a SCART-cable. Please note that not using a SCARTcable makes installing procedure more complicated. Therefore we recommend to
Connect a TV through the SCART-Socket
You can connect the VCR to your TV with RF cable. If however, your TV has SCART-Socket you can connect
it to the VCR with a SCART cable as shown above for better quality pictures and sound.
If your TV-set does not switch to video-playback automatically, please turn your
TV's video switch to VIDEO position manually.
