Warning and Important Information

As this equipment gets hot during use, operate it in a well ventilated place; Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, do not expose this equipment to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the equipment.

Important

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the recording of pre-recorded tapes or discs or other published or broadcast material may infringe copyright laws.

For your safety

Do not remove outer cover. Touching internal parts of the VCR is dangerous, and may seriously damage it. To prevent electric shock, do not remove cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Inserting Remote Control Batteries

Insert the batteries with the polarity (+ and -) correctly aligned.

Notes:

The service life of the batteries is approximately 1 year. However, it varies considerably depending on the frequency of use.

• When they are exhausted, replace them with two AA, UM3, or R6 size batteries.

• When the batteries are exhausted, remove them immediately and dispose them correctly.

• Do not mix old battery with new battery.

• Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline and Manganese.

• Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries.

• Do not heat or short-circuit the batteries.

• When you do not use the remote control for a long time, take out the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place.

Longrun Head System

This longrun head system enables approximately 8,000 hours of recording/playback in high quality images. Newly developed head cylinder with narrower head windows and tapered cylinder design effectively protects heads from dust and prevents head clogging. Plus, [Alumina] Head Cleaner further enhanced cleaning efficiency.

• Based on in-house tests with Panasonic video cassettes. Actual head life may vary according to conditions of use, tape type, temperature, humidity, etc.

Cautions before you operate this VCR

Avoid:

• Humidity and dust.

• Extreme heat such as direct sunlight.

• Magnets or electromagnetic objects.

• Touching internal parts of the VCR.

• Water or some other liquid.

• Lightning. (Disconnect the aerial plug from the VCR during lightning storms.)

• Anything heavy on the VCR.

• Connecting or handling the equipment with wet hands.

• Using a cell phone near the VCR because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.

Do:

• Wipe the VCR with a clean and dry cloth.

• Install the VCR in a horizontal position.

• Keep the VCR, TV and other equipment switched off until you have finished all connections.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

• The VCR is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated room.

• The VCR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings, such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid.

Note:

• In any of the above-mentioned conditions, do not operate the VCR for at least 1 hour. This VCR is not equipped with a dew sensor.

Press [VCR-ON/OFF] (1) to switch the VCR from ON to standby mode or vice versa. In the standby mode, the VCR is still connected to the mains.

The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible or the mains plug or an appliance coupler shall remain readily operable.
