For your safety
Since this VTR is designed for metal tapes only, make sure that only the designated tapes are used. An or-
dinary VHS tape cannot be used. Removal of the covers on electrical appliances for maintenance purposes
may lead to electric shocks.
Personnel should therefore adhere strictly to the normal safety precautions.
Some customer-preference switches are located on printed circuit boards within the unit. Be sure to turn off
the power prior to opening the unit, before changing the position of any switch, and especially before re-
moving or reinserting any circuit board.
∫THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must
be inserted only into a standard three-pin power
point which is effectively earthed through the
normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must
be three-core and be correctly wired to provide
connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension
cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satis-
factorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely
safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the
effective earthing of the power point, consult a
qualified electrician.
∫DO NOT REMOVE PANEL COVER BY UN-
SCREWING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside.

Operating precaution
Operation near any appliance which generates
strong magnetic fields may give rise to noise in the
video and audio singals. If this should be the case,
deal with the situation by, for instance, moving the
source of the magnetic fields away from the unit
before operation.
