Important Safeguards and Precautions

I 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 ^1 times.

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

Company or Video Products Dealer will be happy to verify the power source in your home.

THE GROUNDED OR POLARIZED 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 wire polarized plug (having one blade wider 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 t^e 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 safely.

POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on

them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or 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.

AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION HOLES

Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to

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.

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

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.

TO AVOID INJURY TO A CHILD, ADULT;

OR COSTLY DAMAGE:

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 appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, arKf 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.

2. ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER * SOURCES. OR CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY INSTALLER

/1\ An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be

reached by power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never contact these power sources if it falls. Installer should use extreme care to avoid possible fatal contact by touching power tines, circuits or other power sources when installing an outside antenna.

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 sen/ice 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.
