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.
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.
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 О 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.
