Do not leave rubber or plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will mar the
finish.
Moisture Condensation
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the VCR is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
cylinder inside, one of its most crucial internal parts. To prevent the VCR from possible
damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change
in temperature.

outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
