**MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the player 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 player’s power turned on for a few
hours to let the moisture dry before inserting a tape.

Cassettes marked ''VHS'' can be used with this video cassette player.
Cautions on operation
• When the car is parked under the blazing sun or in an
extremely cold place for a long time, wait a while to use
this unit after the temperature of the cabin drops to the
normal temperature.
• Use this unit as the engine is running. If this unit is used as
the engine is stopping, it depletes the car battery and, if
worst comes to worst, the battery fails in starting the engine.
• If this unit is disconnected during operation (playback, fast-
forward, rewind, etc.), it may cause a machine failure.
When disconnecting this unit, be sure to remove the video
cassette from the unit beforehand.

Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the POWER CONNECTOR, extension leads and interconnec-
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the POWER CONNECTOR when making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in
any way — switch off, withdraw the POWER CONNECTOR and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure
that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road
safety. It is illegal to watch video whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will
cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the
manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL...
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case —
this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Protection circuits
(self-diagnosing circuits)
This video cassette player incorporates some protection circuits inside.
If this video cassette player is used as it is dewed, it
may damage the tape and video heads.
Dew sensor circuit
5 When the cabin whose temperature is consider-
ably low is rapidly heated or the humidity in the
cabin is considerably high, insides of the windscreen and cabin windows are sometimes fogged.
At the same time, inside of the video cassette player
mounted on the car is dewed.
5 In such the case (dewed condition), the dew sensor
circuit functions to stop machine operation with
indication of blinking indicator lamp in green,
and "DEW PLEASE WAIT" appears on the screen.
When the machine falls into such the status, wait
for several hours until the indicator lamp stops
blinking and lights continuously.
High temperature sensor circuit
5 When the temperature of the machine becomes con-
siderably high, the high temperature sensor circuit
functions to stop machine operation with indication
of blinking
TEMP PLEASE WAIT" appears on the screen. When
the machine falls into such the status, turn off the
machine and wait for a while until the indicator
lamp stops blinking while leaving it in a cool place
to lower the temperature. When turning on the machine again, make sure that the indicator lamp
does not blink before starting operation.
Abnormal voltage sensor circuit
5 When the source loop circuit of the machine
detects voltage out of the operation range, the
abnormal voltage sensor circuit functions to
turn off the machine with indication of blinking the
"VOLTAGE PLEASE CHECK" appears on the
screen.
In such a case, make sure that the machine is
connected properly or battery voltage is sufficient.
Note: This video cassette player should be used
with DC12V only.
