Precautions

Read carefully through this manual to familiarize yourself with this high-quality video cassette recorder.

Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches that shown on the back of the video cassette recorder.

Refer to this chapter and the "Initial installation" chapter to help you install and adjust your video cassette recorder.

Do not ...

... open the video cassette recorder. Have a qualified technician carry out repairs.

... connect the video cassette recorder to the power supply if you have just moved it from a cold to warm environment. This can result in condensation inside the recorder and cause serious damage to the machine and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach room temperature.

Make sure ...

... the recorder is placed on a steady, flat surface.

... you place the recorder where there is good ventilation all around.

... you clean the recorder only with a soft, lint-free cloth; do not use aggressive or alcohol-based cleaning agents.

... you disconnect the power supply if the recorder appears to be working incorrectly, is making an unusual sound, has a strange smell, has smoke emitting from it or liquids have got inside it. Have a qualified technician check the recorder.

... you disconnect the power supply and aerial if you will not be using the recorder for a long period or during a thunderstorm.

For your own safety!

There are no components in this video cassette recorder you can service or repair yourself.

Do not open the case of the video cassette recorder. Only allow qualified personnel to repair or service your set.
