Please read these cautions before you operate this VTR.
Cassette Compartment Door
When first unpacking the unit, you may notice that the
cassette compartment door is partially open. This condition
is due to the operation of a safety device designed to
protect the unit from vibration during shipment; it is not a
malfunction. When the AC mains lead is connected to a
mains outlet, the door will return to its original position.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
If the VTR is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm
place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the VTR.
In this case, the Dew Indicator “ d ’’ will flash on and off
and the VTR will not operate.
Humidity and Dust
Avoid places where there is high humidity or much dust,
which may cause damage to internal parts.
Do Not Obstruct the Ventilation Holes
The ventilation holes prevent abnormal increase in tem
perature. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially
avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or
paper.
Keep away from High Temperature
Video Head Clogging
The video heads are the means by which the recorder
places picture signals on the tape during recording, and
reads picture signals from the tape during playback. If these
heads become dirty and clogged from long use, the signals
can no longer be recorded correctly, and the playback pic
ture will be distorted accordingly. This is the case, for ex
ample, during the playback of a tape, the sound is repro
duced normally, but no picture is seen, or the picture is
greatly distorted. When such a symptom case occurs have
the recorder checked by qualified service personnel.
Lightning
To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug
from the VTR.
If Dew Condensation Forms in the VTR
Condensation may form in the VTR if:
•The VTR is in a room where the heater has just been
turned on.
•The VTR is in a room with steam or high humidity.
•The VTR is brought from cold surroundings into a well-
heated room.
•The VTR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings,
such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is
hot and humid.
Keep the VTR away from extreme direct heat such as direct
sunlight, heating radiators, or closed automobiles.
Keep Magnets away
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VTR
because it will adversely affect the performance of the VTR.
No Fingers or Other Objects Inside
Touching internal parts of this VTR is dangerous, and may
cause serious damage to the VTR. Do not attempt to dis
assemble the VTR. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
Keep Water away
Keep the VTR away from flower vases, tubs, sinks, etc.
CAUTION: If liquids are spilled into the VTR, serious
damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the VTR,
consult qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the VTR
Wipe the VTR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning
fluid, or other chemicals. And do not use compressed air to
remove dust.
When dew forms in the VTR: (Refer to page 6)
The Dew Indicator “ 6 ” on the Multi-Function Display will
flash on and off and all the function buttons are made
non-operational to protect the tape and the video heads.
When the Dew Indicator flashes, wait until this indicator
disappears.
•If dew condensation forms inside the VTR while the VTR
On/Off Switch is off, it will turn on automatically and the
Dew Indicator will flash on and off. As soon as the dew
condensation has been dissolved, the VTR will turn itself
off again.
•If the Dew Indicator continues to stay on, have the
recorder checked by qualified service personnel.
Stacking
Place the VTR in a horizontal position, and do not place
anything heavy on it.

How to Operate the Remote Controller
(Digital Scanner)
Press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button to “ON".
•If no operation is performed for more than 25 seconds
(4 minutes during setting of the clock time), the scanner
will automatically switch over to the power-saving standby
condition and the lamp will go off. (In this case, if bar
codes have already been read but not yet transmitted to
the VTR, the data will be cancelled.)
•When the lamp is not lit, press the Button to turn it “ON"
again.
Tracing the Bar Codes
(A) Place the Remote Controller on the Small Box.
(B) Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow.
Power Source for the Remote Controller
■ The Remote Controller is powered by 4 lEC “R03” size
batteries. The life of the batteries is about one year,
however, it depends on the frequency of use. Inspect
and if necessary, replace the batteries once a year.
CAUTION FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT
• Load the new batteries with their polarities (-i-and -)
aligned correctly.
• Do not apply heat to batteries, or internal short-circuit may
occur.
• If you do not intend to use the Remote Controller for a
long period of time, remove the batteries and store them
in a cool and dry place.
• Remove spent batteries immediately and dispose of them.
• Do not use an old and a new batteries together. (Also
never use an alkaline battery with a manganese battery.)

Bar Code
•Treat the Programming Sheet with care. If the sheet
gets dirty or scratched, the bar code reading may
become impossible.
•Protect the Remote Controller from strong shocks
and vibration. Keep it away from water and places
with high temperature and humidity.
• If the bar code is traced slowly, it cannot be read
correctly.
•When there is no “Beep” sound, the reading of the
bar code is incomplete. Trace the bar code again.
•When using the Programming Sheet, put it on flat
surface: Reading the bar codes while holding it in
your hand or bending it, may result in incorrect op
eration.
• Do not deviate from the bar code, nor stop tracing
halfway.
Trace the bar code
completely past the last bar.
completely.
Load the batteries as follows:
^ Push back the battery compartment locking lever.
0 Lift off the battery compartment lid.
0 Insert the batteries with their polarities aligned as indi
cated inside the battery compartment.
0 Replace the lid.
Note;
•The infra-red beam should be transmitted directly at the
Infra-red Remote Control Receiver on the front of the
VTR.
• Direct sunlight may interfere with the beam.
•The lightsensing angle of the Infra-red Remote Control
Receiver in the VTR is about 30“for each side from the
centre.
•The unit should be used within a range of about 7 meters
from the front of the VTR.
Recommendation
After the programming of timer recording(s) is completed,
press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button so that the
indications in the LCD Display disappear, in order to save
battery power.
