In order that you may enjoy this high-quality and comfortable video recorder for
a long time it is very important that you observe the following points when installing the recorder.
This video recorder is intended for the reception, recording and reproduction of
TV picture and sound signals.
Any other application is expressly prohibited.
If the recorder is exposed to drastic temperature changes, for example when
taking it from a cold to a warm place, connect the recorder to the mains supply
and let it stand at the new place for at least two hours without a cassette loaded.
The recorder is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish to operate it in the open
air, make absolutely sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashes of
water). Do not expose the recorder or the cassette to any moisture.
Place the recorder on a flat and hard surface. Do not place any objects (e.g.
newspapers) on the recorder and no tablecloth or similar below the recorder.
Do not place the recorder in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct
sunlight as this would prevent appropriate cooling. Keep the recorder away from
magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers).
Never insert any foreign objects into the cassette compartment. This might
damage the high-value mechanism.
Never open the recorder. Damage caused by unqualified work is not covered by
the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Do not place any object filled with water (vases and similar) on the recorder. The
object might fall over and the liquid spilling into the unit would impair its electrical
safety.
Thunderstorms are a danger for any electrical appliance. Even when switched
off, the recorder might be damaged by lightning striking the mains supply and/or
the aerial lead. During a thunderstorm you must always disconnect the mains and
aerial plugs.
For this video recorder, technology and ecology form a convincing overall idea.
Only ecologically high-grade materials are used. The packing consist of almost
100% recycled paper, its plastic parts have been reduced to a minimum. The
batteries supplied are free of mercury and cadmium. For environmental reasons
no buffer battery is used. To enable a high-grade recycling after use, the number
of plastic parts has consequently been reduced. All large plastic parts are
marked. To facilitate service and for optimum recycling, this device has been
designed in a specially disassembly-friendly and recycling-friendly way.
