Automatic features

Auto power on

The video tape is automatically rewound when the end of the tape is reached during the play, recording or shuttle search forward mode.

Auto playback

Power off eject

Even when the video cassette player’s power is off, pressing the eject button will turn the power on and eject the tape. Once ejected, the power will be turned off again automatically.

The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.

WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE IN-

SIDE

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The STANDBY/ON button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off.

This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC 60065.

Please follow these precautions. Not doing so may result in damage to the VCP, remote control, or video cassette.

• Avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight.

• Avoid extreme cold.

• Avoid extreme humidity.

• Avoid dust.

• Avoid places subject to vibrations.

• Avoid strong magnetic fields.

• Do not block the VCP’s ventilation openings.

• Do not place anything heavy on the VCP or remote

control.

• Do not place anything which might spill on top of the

VCP or remote control.

• Do not place the VCP on cushions, pillows, or thick

carpeting.

• Use the VCP in a stable, horizontal position only.

• Place cassettes in cassette cases and store vertically.

Beware of moisture condensation

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCP when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions — just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the VCP’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

When transporting

7 Be sure to remove cassette from VCP before packing. 7 Avoid violent shocks to the VCP during packing and trans-

port.

Auto head cleaning

When a tape is loaded or ejected the VCP video head is cleaned automatically.

PAL NTSC

7 Only cassettes marked “VHS” can be used with this video

cassette player.
