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.

If the plug supplied is not suitable for the socket outlets
in your home, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in accordance with the following
instructions:
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
