Getting Started

For safe installation:

• Leave a clear space of 5 cm around the unit for

adequate ventilation.

• Do not install the unit in hot, humid, or

excessively dusty places.

• Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to

mechanical vibrations.

For your protection, refer all servicing to qualified
personnel.

About Moisture
Condensation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a
warm place, moisture may condense on the video
head drum. If this happens, the tape may stick to
the head drum and it may be damaged or the unit
may not operate correctly. To avoid possible
damage caused by moisture condensation, be sure
not to leave a cassette inside the compartment
when the unit is not in use. When bringing the unit
from a cold place to a warm place, wait for about
10 minutes before operating it.
If the tape operation buttons do not work due to
moisture condensation, leave the power on for
more than one hour.

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
unit to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the
set. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.

Caution

Television programmes, films, video tapes and
other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be
contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws.

Colour System of Your
Set

This video TV is designed to receive TV
programmes based on PAL (B/G) colour system
and to record and play on PAL colour system. The
video TV can also play tapes on NTSC colour
system.

Precautions

Safety Information

For general safety:

• Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
