Precautions

• Use only cassettes with the VHS mark with this unit.

• Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides or bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation and to protect the unit from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

• Avoid installation in enclosed spaces such as bookcases unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Keep the unit away from radiators and other heat sources.

• Avoid use near strong magnetic fields.

• Do not push objects of any kind into the unit through the cabinet slots or openings as they could touch electrically live parts or short circuit parts resulting in a fire or electric shock.

• Never spill liquid on this unit. If liquid is spilled and penetrates into the unit, consult qualified service personnel.

• Use this unit in a horizontal (flat) position only.

• Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.).

Dew Warning

Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating up a cold room, or under conditions of high humidity. Do not use the unit for at least 2 hours until it is dry inside.

Before Using This Product

Video Cassette Tape

This unit will operate with any cassette that bears the VHS mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.

You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking off the erase-prevention tab on the back edge of the cassette. If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with plastic tape.

Two Different Tape Speeds

Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode (Standard Play) or LP mode (Long Play). The table below shows the maximum recording/playback time using E-60, E-120, E-180 or E-240 tapes in each mode.

TV Colour System

Different countries use different television colour systems. Tapes recorded in the PAL or NTSC system can be played back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will be in black and white when you play back a tape that is recorded in a different colour system.

Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on this unit. This feature is only available in the SP and SLP mode. When playing back such tapes, the picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking control manually by pressing

PROG +/- until the

streaks disappear.
