For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this
manual for future reference. Carefully observe all warnings, precautions, and instructions on the appliance, or the
ones described in the operating instructions and adhere to them.

USE

Power Sources–This set should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of electrical power supply at your home, consult
your dealer or local power company. For those
sets designed to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience receptacle
beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire
or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry–Never push objects of
any kind into the set through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

Attachments–Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as they may
cause hazards.

Cleaning–Unplug the set from the wall outlet
before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of
the set.

DC 12V?

UNPLUGUNPLUG

WARNING: This VCP is used with UL Listed AC/DC adapter rated 12V DC only.

Water and Moisture–Do not use powerline
operated sets near water-for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories–Do not place the set on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use only
a cart stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer.

Ventilation–The slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the set, and to
protect it from overheating, these slots and
openings must never be blocked or covered.

– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth

or other materials.

– Never block the slots and openings by placing

the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface.

Portable Cart Warning–An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.

5

–Never place the set in a confined space such as

a bookcase, or built-in cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided.

Power-Cord Protection–Route the power cord
in order not to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point
where the cord exits from the appliance.

–Do not place the set over a radiator or heat

register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.

In the normal 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 VCP s, if used
in this condition, it will cause damage to the
head and the tape.

In case of moving the VCP from a cold place to
heated place,
Or the temperature of surroundings goes up due
to room heating switched on.
Or moving the VCP suddenly from air conditioned
room to a place of high temperature of humidity
in summer.
may cause the dew indicator to light up. Do not
use in this condition.

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
operate the VCP after the moisture condensation
has completely dried out. Normally, it takes about
2 hours.

SERVICE

Damage Requiring Service–Unplug the set
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:

–When the power cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

–If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into the set.

–If the set has been exposed to rain or water.

–If the set has been subjected to excessive shock

by being dropped, or the cabinet has been
damaged.

–If the set does not operate normally when

following the operating instructions, adjust only
those controls that are specified in the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the set to normal
operation.

–When the set exhibits a distinct change in

performance, this indicates a need for service.

Servicing–Do not attempt to service the set
yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement of parts–When replacement of
parts is required, be sure the service technician
has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics
as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

Safety Check–Upon completion of any service
or repairs to the set, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe
operating condition.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

The video heads are the means by which the VCP reads pictures from the tape during playback.
In the unlikely event that they become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be playback. This can easily be

determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but the picture is extremely snowy. If this is the
case, have the video cassette player checked by qualified service personnel.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

During normal operation of the VCP , the video and audio heads can get dirty over a period of time, especially when using
an old or poor quality tape. When the heads are dirty the picture can get snowy and the tracking control will not adjust the
snow out of the picture. If this condition occurs, head cleaning cartridges may take care of this problem and restore normal
picture. We recommend that head cleaning cartridges be used sparingly due to the fact that they can be very abrasive to
the video heads. If the problem is not resolved with the head cleaning cartridge then the unit needs to be checked by a
qualified service personnel.

NOTE: Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to reproduce clear pictures. To

help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
