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.

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:

œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from

sources of intense heat.

œ Avoid dusty or humid places. œ Avoid 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.

œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only. œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations. œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot

locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).

œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as

this may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire

œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it

from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power

cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorised service centre.

œ Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.

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.

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:

1 Make all necessary connections. 2 Plug the power cord into a 220 – 240 V AC outlet. 3 Do 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.

VCR display

Stand-by mode Power on mode

“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.
