OPERATED WITH DC 12V CURRENT ONLY.
THIS VIDEO DECK IS A VHS TYPE
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 conden-
sation on the head drum, one of the most crucial
parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape.
When the VCP 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 VCP to dry out.
PLAYER. FOR PROPER OPERA-
TION, USE ONLY A VHS TYPE
VIDEO CASSETTE.
