CAUTIONS
Avoid
Sudden Changes
in
Temperature
If
the
VTR
is
suddenly
moved
from a
cold place
to
a
warm
place,
moisture
may
form
on
the tape
and
inside the
VTR.
in this
case, the
Dew
Indicator "
8
"
will
flash
on and
off
and
the
VTR
will
not operate.
Humidity
and
Dust
Avoid places
where
there
is
high humidity or
much
dust,
which
may
cause
damage
to internal parts.
Do
Not Obstruct
the
Ventilation
Holes
The
ventilation
holes prevent
abnormal
increase
in
tem-
perature.
Do
not block or
cover these
holes.
Especially
avoid covering the holes
with
soft
materials
such as
cloth or
paper.
Keep away
from High Temperature
Keep
the
VTR
away
from extreme
direct
heat
such as
direct
sunlight,
heating
radiators,
or
closed automobiles.
Keep Magnets away
Never
bring
a
magnet
or
magnetized
object
near
the
VTR
because
it
will
adversely
affect
the
performance
of
the
VTR.
No
Fingers
or
Other Objects
Inside
Touching
internal
parts
of
this
VTR
is
dangerous,
and
may
cause
serious
damage
to
the
VTR.
Do
not
attempt
to
disassemble
the
VTR.
There
are
no
user serviceable
parts
inside.
Keep
Water
away
Keep
the
VTR
away
from
flower vases,
tubs, sinks,
etc.
CAUTION:
If
liquids
are
spilled
into
the
VTR,
serious
damage
could
occur.
If
you
spill
any
liquid into
the
VTR,
consult
qualified
service personnel.
Cleaning
the
VTR
P|
Wipe
the
VTR
with
a
clean, dry
cloth.
Never use
cleaning
fluid,
or other chemicals.
And do
not
use
compressed
air
to
remove
dust.
Stacking
Place
the
VTR
in
a
horizontal position,
and do
not place
anything
heavy on

Video
Head
Clogging
The
video
heads
are the
means
by which
the recorder
places
picture signals
on
the
tape during
recording,
and
reads
picture
signals
from
the tape during playback.
If
these
heads
become
dirty
and
clogged from
long use, the signals
can no
longer
be
recorded
correctly,
and
the
playback
picture
will
be
distorted accordingly.
This
is
the case,
for
example,
during the
playback
of
a
tape,
the
sound
is
reproduced
normally, but
no
picture
is
seen, or the
picture
is
greatly
distorted.
When
such a
symptom
case
occurs
have
the recorder
checked
by
qualified
service personnel.
If
Dew
Condensation
Forms
in
the
VTR
Condensation
may
form
In
the
VTR
if:
•The
VTR
is
in
a room where
the heater
has
just
been
turned
on.
•The
VTR
is
in
a room
with
steam
or high humidity.
•The
VTR
is
brought from cold surroundings
into
a
well-heated
room.
•The
VTR
is
suddenly brought from
cool surroundings,
such as an
air-conditioned
room
or
car,
to
a
place
which
is
hot
and
humid.
When dew
forms
in
the
VTR:
(Refer

The
Dew
Indicator
"d"
on
the
Multi-
Function Display
will
flash
on and
off
and
all
the function buttons are
made
non-operational
to
protect the
tape
and
the
video heads.
When
the
Dew
Indicator flashes,
wait
until
this
indicator
disappears.
•If
dew
condensation forms
inside
the
VTR
while the
VTR
On/Off Switch
is off,
it
will
turn
on
automatically
and
the
Dew
Indicator
