WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Mains lead must only be changed at a qualified service shop.
Precautions
Safety
•This unit operates on 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz. Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.
•If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
•The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is connected to the mains, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.
•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
Installing
•Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book or similar unit.
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
•Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
•Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
•Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
•Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
•Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
•If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the VCR and cause damage to the video head and tape. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about three hours before operating the unit.
