Cautions:
Do not install the VTR in a location near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or impacts.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the VTR on soft surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.), too
near materials such as curtains and draperies or in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack.
Keep the VTR and the video cassettes away from strong magnetic fields.
To disconnect the lead, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the lead itself.
Do not drop any inflammable or metallic objects, or liquid into the VTR. This may cause damage to the VTR.
Do not hit or shake the unit when moving it. This may cause damage.
Remove the cassette from the VTR when not in use.
Save the original carton and packing materials: they will come in handy if you ever have to transport your VTR.
For maximum protections, repack the VTR as it was originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids such as insect spray near the VTR.
Do not leave rubber or plastic products touching the VTR for a long time. They will damage the finish.
For pluggable equipment, that the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
