Important Safeguards and Precautions
INTRODUCTION
Careful attention has been given to this Video product to assure
a quality standard devoted to your safety and enjoyment. This
quality standard together with your personal responsibility for
the safety of yourself and others, will contribute to your
enjoyment. This Video product uses electrical energy and
requires proper handling at all times.
I CAUTION
READ AND RETAIN THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To make full use of the safeguards incorporated in this unit, read
and follow this basic guide, adopted in part from Underwriter's
Laboratories Standard 1409, Second Edition, before operating
this Video product.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND BE SURE TO HEED ALL
WARNINGS on unit and in the manual, for easy maintenance,
proper and trouble free operation of this Video product.
INSTALLATION
OPERATE FROM A POWER SOURCE INDICATED on this
1.
Video product, or in this Manual. Your Electric Utility Service
A
Company or Video Products Dealer will be happy to verify
the power source in your home.
2.
THE GROUNDED OR POURIZED PLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE
This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug or a 3- wire grounding type plug. The two
A
wire polarized plug (having one blade vrider than the other)
will fit into the power outlet only one way. If it is a three wire
grounding type plug (having a third pin), it will fit into a
grounding type outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE GROUNDED
OR POLARIZED PLUG by tampering with it. If the plug does
not fit fully into the socket, try reversing it. If you should still
be unable to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may
find that a proper outlet is needed to meet today's Electrical
Standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safety.
POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and
3.
routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on
them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or
A
abuse: particularly at plug-ins, convenience receptacles, or
cord exit points from the unit. Where an extension is
needed, use a grounded or polarized cord.
HAZARDOUS FRAYED CORDS OR DAMAGED PLUGS
SHOULD BE REPLACED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
OVERLOADED WALL OUTLETS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PRESENT DANGEROUS RISKS OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
4.
AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION HOLES
Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to
A
release heat generated during operation. Blocking these
opening can cause heat build-up inside the unit, causing
failure that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
cassettes. For protection:
a. Never cover the bottom ventilation slots or the unit with
soft material, or operate the unit placed on a bed, sofa,
rug, or soft accessory.
b. Avoid built-in installations, such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided.
5.
AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN
CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE such as placing the unit
near or over a radiator, in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or
A
transporting it suddenly between areas
of extreme temperature variation.
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold
place to a warm place, moisture may
form on the tape and inside the unit.
6.
TO AVOID INJURY TO A CHILD, ADULT;
OR COSTLY DAMAGE:
A
a. Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface
or any heavy object or unit.
(Use the unit in a horizontal position and do not place
anything heavy on it.)
b. Support for the unit should be adequately firm, level, and
strong. Replace any unstable cart, table or support. An
alliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
c. Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the
manufacturer’s recommended accessories when
operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.

Immediately unplug the unit, and have it inspected by a service
technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from electrical
shorts caused by liquid contact inside,
b. Caution the children about dropping or pushing objects into the
unit. Some parts inside carry hazardous voltages and contact can
cause electric shock. Objects dropped in electrical equipment can
cause fire hazards.
c. Separate the unit from any interference causing appliances.
Placing the unit directly aiMve or below your TV set may cause
electrical interference. Keep all magnets away from electronic

Clogged Video Heads
While your VCR will not normally require head cleaning,
however the heads may become clogged when playing
an old or damaged tape. If the image on your screen
resembles the illustration on the left or the screen
becomes solid blue when playing back a pre-recorded
signal on the tape, the heads probably require cleaning.
Cleaning the Heads
It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by
a qualified service technician. Please contact your
nearest Panasonic Service Center. An alternate
solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. Be sure
to follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive
use of a cleaning cassette could shorten head life.
Use this cassette only when symptoms occur.
