Safety
?
Position
your
Video
Recorder
so
that
no
bright
light
or
sunlight
falls
directly
onto
it.
?
Care
should
be
taken
not
to
expose
your
Video
Recorder
to
any
unnecessary
vibration,
moisture,
dust
or
heat.
?
During
electrical
storms
it
is
advisable
to
unplug
both
the
aerial
cable
and
mains
plug
to
prevent
accidental
damage
to
your
Video
Recorder
and
TV.
?
Do
not
operate
your
Video
Recorder
if it
is
damaged.
?
If
your
Video
Recorder
still
does
not
operate
properly,
unplug
it
and
call
your
dealer.
Your
VCR
should
not
be
repaired
by
anyone
except
qualified
service
personnel.
?
Never
remove
the
top
cover
of
your
Video
Recorder
as
this
can
expose
you
to
very
high
voltage
and
other
hazards.
?
Ensure
that
your
Video Recorder
is
placed
in
a
position
to
allow
a
free
flow
of
air.
?
The
apparatus
shall
not
be
exposed
to
dripping
or
splashing
and
that
no
objects
filled
with
liquids,
such
as
vases,
shall
be
placed
on
the
apparatus.
This
product
is
manufactured
to
comply
with
the
radio
interference
requirements
of
EEC
DIRECTIVE
89/336/EEC,
93/68/EEC
and
73/23/EEC.
Cleaning
1
Unplug
the
Video
Recorder
from
the
mains
supply.
2
Clean
the
cabinet
with
a
soft
damp
cloth,
do
not
apply
liquid
cleaners
or
aerosol
cleaners.
Never
spray
cleaning
liquids
on
or
near
the
Video
Recorder.
Video
head
cleaning
Whenever
a
video
cassette
is
inserted
into
or
ejected
from
your
Video
the
video
head
is
automatically
cleaned.
This
should
mean
that
additional
head
cleaning
should
not
be
necessary.
However
dirt
accumulating
on
the
head
after
a
long
period
of
time
can
cause
the
playback
picture
to
become
blurred
or
broken
up.
High
quality
video
cassette
tapes
will
not
normally
deposit
dirt
onto
the
video
head,
but
old
or
damaged
tapes
might.
