1. When a very cold drink is poured into a glass, the water droplets which form on the outer surface of the glass are an example of 2. condensation. If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming it in a cold room or after transporting it from a cold location to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. By heating the inside of the VCR, it can dry up the moisture and prevent damage to the VCR or video tape from condensation. To do this, plug the VCR in and switch the VCR POWER to ON. Leave the VCR on for at least 2 hours before using it for recording or playback. CONDENSATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN:

1. The VCR is moved inside from outdoors or from a cold room to a warm one. 2. A cold room is heated quickly. 3. Humidity is high. Note Avoid using the VCR where cold air (e.g., from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it. Never place anything containing water on top of the VCR; (e.g., vases, cups, etc.). Heavy objects (e.g., TV) should never be placed on the VCR NEVER TOUCH OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INSIDE THE VCR Touching the inside of the cabinet or inserting foreign objects of any kind not only creates a safety hazard but can also cause extensive damage. PROTECT THE POWER CORD Damage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging the power cord, hold it by the plug only and pull out carefully. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCE Turn the power off and unplug the power cord during a long absence. MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the VCR. For maximum ventilation, place the unit on a hard level surface only, and ensure it is not covered during use. WHEN NOT IN USE When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn the VCR off. CABINET CARE Never use petroleum-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth moistened with soap and water and wipe dry. PVC cables or leads should not be left in contact with the cabinet surface for long periods. INSTALLATION LOCATION For excellent performance and lasting reliability, install in a location that is:

1. Well ventilated, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat. 2. A solid, vibration-free surface. 3. Free from high humidity, excessive dust and away from magnetic fields. Note Never move the VCR without first removing the tape. CARE OF THE VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES Avoid vibration or shock. Do not place near a strong magnetic field (e.g., a motor, transformer or magnet). Never place or store in direct sunlight. Avoid dusty places. Place the cassette in its case and store vertically. Never store tape in high humidity. WARNING:

The included power cord is used for 120 V, 60 Hz. Never connect any outlet or power supply having a different voltage or frequency.
