PRECAUTIONS

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. DO NOT remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DO NOT place hot objects such as candles or nightlights on, or close to, the equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires. DO NOT use this unit near water or in rainy/moist situations.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form inside the unit. In this case, do not operate it for two or three hours.

WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?

When cold water is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.

MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;

• When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.

• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS;

Plug the AC cord to AC outlet, set the Main Power Switch to ON and leave the unit at the room temperature until moisture condensation disappears. Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.

Head Drum

Video Tape

Under certain conditions, such as low humidity or walking across wool carpet, you may experience a static discharge when touching the unit. If this happens and it fails to function, follow the procedure below.

1)

Un-plug the unit from the AC outlet.

2)

This may take two or three hours.

3)

Re-plug the unit again.

Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference eg. TV or hi-fi speakers, etc. Doing so may affect operation of unit causing erratic playing or recording, picture or sound distortion, or noise.

Avoid extreme heat and cold.

2

5N40101B [E] P01-09 5/28/04, 15:212

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Place the unit at least 10 cm away from the walls for good air circulation.

10cm

Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax directly on the unit or use forced air to remove dust.

Keep the unit away from flower vases, sink etc. Liquids spilled into the unit can cause serious damages. Switch OFF the Power Supply to the unit and consult a qualified service engineer before attempting to use the unit again.

Place the unit on a flat, stable, level surface, and never subject it to violent shaking or any other shock or impact.

When you finish operating the unit, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.

When you leave your home for a long period of time, unplug the AC mains lead.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Open the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.

Install two “AAA/R03/UM-4” (penlight size) batteries, paying attention to the polarity diagram in the battery compartment.

Replace the cover.

BATTERY CAUTIONS

• Use two "AAA/R03/UM-4" size penlight batteries for the remote control transmitter.

• The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For best

performance it is recommended batteries be replaced on a yearly basis, or when remote operation becomes erratic.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control transmitter. Always remove batteries as

soon as they become weak.

EFFECTIVE DISTANCE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER

NOTES: • When direct sunlight, an incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp or any other strong light shines on the

remote sensor, the remote operation may be unstable.

• When there is an obstacle between the unit and the transmitter, the remote control transmitter may

not operate.

AERIAL CONNECTIONS

Connect an indoor or outdoor antenna to the aerial socket at the rear panel as shown below. For all aerial circuit problems, please consult your local dealer.

Aerial socket

Mains lead

EXTERNAL AERIAL

The type of aerial required depends on the position of your home, its distance from the transmitter and local interference. If you do not have an aerial and you are uncertain of what to buy, you should seek the advice of a local aerial contractor.

RECEPTION DISTURBANCE/VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

The most common types of television interference are as follows.

IGNITION

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from car ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other object. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

SNOW

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS control.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the AC power source before cleaning. The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft damp cloth. Take care when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

The video heads record and playback picture and sound on the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you won't be able to do a perfect recording and the playback picture will be extremely snowy with good sound. If this happens have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.

Good Picture Snowy Picture

NOTES:

Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

•

To help prevent video head cleaning, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn tapes.
