Maintenance information and
precautions
VCR care
•Remove the tape, and periodically turn on the
power and play back a tape for about three
minutes when your VCR is not to be used for a
long time.
•Clean the VCR body with a dry soft cloth, or a
soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
solvent which may damage the finish.
•Do not let sand get into your VCR. When you
use your VCR on a sandy beach or in a dusty
place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or
dust may cause your VCR to malfunction, and
sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.
AC power adaptor
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (wall
socket) when you do not intend to use the unit
for a long time. To disconnect the power cord
(mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull
the power cord (mains lead) itself.
•Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or
if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
•Do not bend the power cord (mains lead)
forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This can
damage the cord and may cause fire or
electrical shock.
•Prevent metallic objects from coming into
contact with the metal parts of the plugs or
jacks. If this happens, a short may occur and the
unit may be damaged.
•Always keep metal contacts clean.
•Do not disassemble the unit.
•Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the
unit.
•While the unit is in use, particularly during
charging, keep it away from AM receivers and
video equipment. AM receivers and video
equipment disturb AM reception and video
operation.
•The unit becomes warm during use. This is not
a malfunction.
•Do not place the unit in locations that are
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
