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.

DC 12V?

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.

UNPLUG

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.

–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.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

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.

When does the moisture condensation occur inside of the VCP ?

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:

FRAYED OR CUT

DC LINE

CRACKED PLUG

–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.

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.
