AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION HOLES
Your video

has
ventilation ojjenlngs
in
its
cabinet
to
release heat
generated
during operation. Blocking these
opening can cause
heat build-up inside the
unit,
causing
failure that
may
result in
a
fire
hazard
or
heat
damage
to
cassettes. For
protection:
a.
Never
cover the bottom
ventilation slots
or the
unit
with
soft material, or operate the
unit
placed
on a
bed,
sofa,
rug,
or
soft
accessory.

Avoid
built-in install^lons,
such as a bookcase
or radt,
unless proper
ventilation
is
provided.

transporting
it
suddenly
between
areas
of
extreme temperature
variation.
If
the

is
suddenly
moved
from a
cold
place
to
a
warm
place, moisture
may
form
on
the tape
and
inside the
unit.
