Precautions
Please read these cautions before you operate this 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 “ " 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
temperature. 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 head 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
disassemble 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.
Video Head Clogging
The video heads place picture signals on the tape during
recording and read picture signals from the tape during
playback and they are. therefore, of critical importance for
the picture quality. To ensure that they can always provide
optimum picture quality, this VTR is equipped with an Auto
Head Cleaning Function that removes tape particles and
dust from the video heads. However, if the VTR is used
over extremely long periods of time, these heads may still
become dirty and clogged. In such a case, 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 when 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.
When dew forms in the VTR:
The Dew Indicator “ " 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
OPERATE 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.
* •
О
Lightning
To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug
from the VTR.
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.
Stacking
Place the VTR in a horizontal position, and do not place
anything heavy on it.
