Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the VCR, Remote or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the VCR ... ... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity. ... in direct sunlight. ... in a dusty environment. ... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated. ... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
