Please read this manual carefully before connecting your VCR and operating it for the first time. Be sure to read carefully and follow all the PRECAUTIONS on page 1.
Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR OTHER MOISTURE. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
If the power supply cord (AC power cord) of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced. Return to a SANYO Authorised Service Centre for replacement of the cord.
CAUTION: Do not put your hand or other objects in the cassette loading slot because of risk of injury or accident. Be sure to keep small children away from the VCR.
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:
œShield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.
œAvoid dusty or humid places.
œAvoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation holes.
œInstall the VCR in a horizontal position only.
œAvoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
œAvoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).
œDo not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this may cause playback or recording problems.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire
œDo not handle the power cord with wet hands.
œDo not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
œIf any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorised service centre.
œDo not place anything directly on top of this VCR.
Moisture Condensation Problems
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity, dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator (À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside, damage may result.
Prevention:
1Make all necessary connections.
2Plug the power cord into a 220 – 240 V AC outlet.
3Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.
When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready to operate.
Power on/stand-by mode
The power on/stand-by mode is selected by pressing the STANDBY/ON button.

“Stand-by mode” is the condition in which only the time is displayed.
Do not forget that even in the stand-by mode there is an electrical voltage inside the VCR as long as it is connected to a wall socket.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall socket if the VCR is not to be used for a long time.

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
Use only video cassette tapes bearing the w logo. This VCR was primarily designed for use with E-180 or E-240 cassette tapes, it is recommended to use E-180 or E-240 standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.
Loading
1Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot. Gently push the centre of the cassette until it is loaded automatically.
Handling Cassette Tapes
The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically, in their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to mold formation.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never touch the tape with your fingers.
Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong vibrations.
To Protect your Recordings
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.
To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab, cover the hole with adhesive tape.
Erasure-prevention tab
Precautions concerning the video cassette tapes
œDo not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered in any way.
œSome rewinders may entangle the tape, and therefore their use is not recommended.
œWhen tapes are recorded over and over again, the recording quality will deteriorate. Refer to “Concerning the Number of Times Tapes can be Rerecorded on” on page 15, and replace the tape with a new tape as required.
øThe time display will switch to the reset counter “0:00:00” display.
øAfter the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism will operate for about 5 seconds to check that
the tape has been threaded correctly and the cassette indicator “o” will blink during that period.
øWhen the cassette is loaded, if the tape has
been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator “o” will light on the digital display.
NOTE:
œIf you try to record on a cassette without erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the cassette.
Unloading
1In stop mode, press the EJECT button.
øThe cassette is automatically ejected.
NOTES:
œDo not insert any object in the cassette loading slot, as that may cause injury and damages to the VCR.
œIf your hand gets stuck in the cassette loading slot, unplug the power cord and consult the dealer where the unit was bought. Do not forcibly pull the hand out as that may cause severe injuries.
