–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

In the normal temperature, if you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapour 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.

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.

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.
