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.

Stacking

Place the VTR in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.

Lightning

To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug from the VTR.

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 temper ature. 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

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 Obj^s 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

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 use, the signals can no longer be recorded correctly, and the playback picture will be distorted accordingly. This is the case, for example, during the playback of a tape, the sound is reproduced 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.

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 wellheated 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.

When dew forms in the VTR: {Refer to page 5.)

The Dew Indicator “d ” on the Multi-Function Display will flash on and off and all the function buttons are made nonoperational 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.

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.

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 “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 2 I EC “R6” 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 (-t- 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.)

Load the batteries as follows:

^ Push back the battery compartment locking lever.

^ Lift off the battery compartment lid.

• Treat the Programming Sheet with care. If the sheet gels 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. Always check your Display

Window to confirm the function scanned has been

accepted.

• 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.

0 Insert the batteries with their polarities aligned as indi

cated inside the battery compartment.

Q 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 lighlsensing 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 indica tions in the LCD Display disappear, in order to save battery power.
