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.

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Use only video cassette tapes bearing the w logo. This VCR was primarily designed for use with E-180 cassette tapes, it is recommended to use E-180 standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.

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.

1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.

Gently push the centre of the cassette until it is loaded automatically.

The time display will switch to the reset counter “0:00:00” display.

After 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 period.

When the cassette is loaded, if the tape has been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator

“o”

will light on the digital display.

NOTE:

œ If you try to record on a cassette without

erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the cassette.

“o”

will blink during that

Erasure-prevention tab

Precautions concerning the video cassette tapes

œ Do not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have

been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered in any way.

œ Some rewinders may entangle the tape, and

therefore their use is not recommended.

œ When 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.

Unloading

1 In stop mode, press the EJECT button.

The cassette is automatically ejected.

NOTES:

œ Do not insert any object in the cassette loading slot,

as that may cause injury and damages to the VCR.

œ If 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.

12 English

VIDEO CASSETTE T APES

Correct tape thread check function

If the correct tape thread check function is on, after the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism will operate for about 5 seconds to check that the tape has been threaded (loaded) correctly and the cassette indicator “o” will blink during that period. If the tape is not loaded properly, the cassette will be ejected.

NOTES:

œ This function checks to make sure that the cassette

has been correctly loaded. It is recommended to use this function to make sure the recordings are conducted reliably.

œ If during the tape thread check operation, the REC,

PLAY or STOP button is pressed or if the SHUTTLE

ring is turned, the command will only be executed after the tape thread has been checked. Only the EJECT button will operate while the tape thread is being checked.
