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
GB
for its installation:
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
•
sources of intense heat.
Avoid dusty or humid places.
•
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
•
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes at
the top and bottom of the VCR. Do not place the unit
on a carpet because this will block the ventilation
holes.
Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
•
Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
•
Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot
•
locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”,
this page).
Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as
•
this may cause playback or recording problems.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
•
Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
•
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
•
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorised service centre.
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.

What is Time-Lapse Video?
A standard VCR records 50 images (fields) per second,
while this time lapse VCR can record at different rates.
This feature makes it possible to record up to 963 hours
on a single video tape. As a result, this unit is extremely
useful for long-term monitoring or recording changes
that take place slowly over an extended period of time
(such as the blooming of a flower).
