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 and D/K) and SECAM (B/G and D/K) colour systems and to record and play on PAL and MESECAM colour systems. Also, the video TV can play tapes on NTSC colour system.

Safety Information

For general safety:

• Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

• Do not open the rear cover.

For safe installation:

• Do not block the ventilation openings.

• 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 safe operations:

• Do not operate the unit on anything but 230 V

AC.

• Do not operate the unit if any liquid or solid

object falls in it—have it checked immediately.

• 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.

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 unit for more than one hour with the power on.
