1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.

2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).

3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.

4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.

IMPORTANT

Please read the various precautions on pages 2 and 3 before installing or operating the recorder.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in 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 recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

ATTENTION:

To mobile phone users:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.

On placing the recorder:

Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.
