Safety

•Position your Video so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto it.

•Care should be taken not to expose your Video 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 and TV.

•Do not operate your Video if it is damaged.

•If your Video still does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer. Your Video should not be repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.

•Never remove the top cover of your Video as this can expose you to very high voltage and other hazards.

•Ensure that your Video 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.

Cleaning

1Unplug the Video from the mains supply.

2Clean the cabinet with a soft damp cloth, do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Never spray cleaning liquids on or near the Video.

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.
