uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.

IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: Many
television programs and films are copyrighted.
In certain circumstances, copyright law may apply
to private in-home video taping of copyrighted
materials.
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. Moisture
condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the
tape.
When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature
change from cold to warm, some condensation
will occur. Under this condition, connect the power
cord to the AC line, press POWER button on and
allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
