C. Cautions and Warnings
1. Cleaning Video Head
Use only good quality VHS tapes and discard worn out
tapes to prevent video head clogging. If the heads get dirty
over aperiod of time during normal operation of the VCP,
the picture will be snowy and the auto-tracking will not
adjust the snow out of the picture. We recommend using
cleaning cartridges sparingly to restore normal picture.
2. Placement

appliance to rain, moisture, or direct sunlight, keep the unit
away from radiators or other sources of heat. Do not
operate or store the unit close to strong magnetic fields.

bracket or table to prevent it from falling.
3. Ventilation
Never cover or block the slots and openings in the cabinet
with a cloth or other material to ensure proper ventilation.

D. Important Safeguards
At room temperature, if you pour a
cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in
the air will condense on the surface
of the glass, This is moisture condensation. The moisture condensation
may occur inside of VCPs; if used in
this condition, it will cause damage
to the head and the tape.

When moving the VCP from a cold place
to heated place.
Or the temperature of surroundings goes
up due to vehicle heating switched on.
Or moving the VCP suddenly from air conditioned room to a place of high
temperature or humidity in summer may
cause the dew indicator to appear on video
monitor display .
When the moisture condensation occurs
inside of the VCP, NEVER insert the
cassette into the cassette compartment.
Remove the cassette, if loaded, by
pressing the STOP/EJECT key . Only

condensation has completely dried out.
