the unit's operating voltage is identical with your local power
supply.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is
connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit itself has
been turned off.
• 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.
Installing
• This unit is equipped with a fan at the rear. Do not insert
objects nor touch the fan during operation.
• To prevent internal heat buildup, install the unit at least 5
cm away from the wall, and dust the unit periodically.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators
or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• The unit is not designed for portable use. Install it properly
on a flat stable place. Placing it on its side or on a surface
slanted more than 30 degrees may cause damage.
• Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense inside the VCR and cause damage
to the video head and tape. When you first install the unit,
or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for
one to two hours before operating the unit.
