Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your
new VCR.
You can't wait to get it working, but
before you do, spare a few moments to

handsomely in terms of improved
results, and avoiding of costly mis-
takes.
Do not place the VCR directly on top
of, or underneath your TV set. Ensure
that there is at least 20 cm between the
VCR and the TV set, and that air can
circulate freely through the ventilation
openings of the VCR.
