Caution

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW VCR, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS OPERATION MANUAL AND THEN SAVE IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AS IT WILL BE USEFUL IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OPERATING YOUR VCR IN THE FUTURE.

Location and Handling

Air vents are provided in the VCR cabinet to prevent excessive temperatures inside the unit. Do not place your VCR in closed spaces, cover it, or otherwise block the

vents.

Do not place the VCR in direct sunlight, or near heat sources.

Keep the VCR and tapes away from strong magnetic objects.

Do not insert or drop anything into the VCR

through the air vents or cassette

compartment as this could cause serious damage, possibly resulting in fire.

Do not place any object containing water or other liquids on the VCR. In the event that liquid should enter the cabinet, unplug the VCR immediately and contact the retailer or service centre approved by Sharp immediately.

Do not remove the VCR cabinet. Touching parts inside the cabinet could result in electric shock and/or damage to the VCR. For service and adjustment inside the cabinet call a qualified dealer or service centre approved by Sharp.

Moisture Condensation

Rapid temperature changes and storage or operation in extremely high humidity environments may cause “dew” to condense inside the VCR cabinet. Dew can cause serious damage to your tapes and the video heads. Should dew form inside the unit, the dew indicator will light up and all normal VCR operations will be inoperable.

l If the dew indicator lights up, wait until

the moisture evaporates. When the power is on, the drum spins, and the dew evaporates more quickly.

As an extra measure of protection for the

video heads, wait another 5 minutes after

goes out before using

l The dew sensor may take a few minutes to detect moisture. Accordingly,

when the VCR is first hooked up or when the power cord is plugged into the socket again, wait about 30 minutes and confirm that the dew indicator has not lit up before attempting to operate the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself. Please refer any service to the nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

Others

Copyright may exist on material you wish to record. Copying such material without permission of the relevant licensees or owners of the copyright is prohibited by law. Sharp is not in a position to authorize the recording of copyrighted works and nothing in this operation manual should be read or implied as giving that authority.

This VCR is not equipped with a mains power switch. Accordingly, nominal current to drive the clock is drawn at all times when the power cord is plugged

into a wall socket. If the VCR is not to be used for an extended period, be

sure to unplug the cord.
