lamps, motors, electric clocks and battery operated toys etc. close
to the S-VHS Movie because this could adversely affect its

in places with strong electric fields, such as near TV or radio
antennas.
Never Put any Objects Inside

No Fingers Inside
Touching internal parts of the S-VHS Movie is very dangerous and
may cause serious damage to the S-VHS Movie. Do not attempt to
disassemble it. For internal inspection, adjustment or repairs,
consult qualified service personnel.
Handle with Care
Never drop the S-VHS Movie or expose it to strong physical
shocks. Shocks during use may result in abnormal operation and
performance.
Appearance of Smear Distortion
Smear distortion is a peculiar characteristic of the CCD device. It
appears as a bright vertical stripe on the screen when the S-VHS
Movie is aimed at spot lights or other bright lights and light
reflecting objects. To avoid this problem, make sure not to aim the
S-VHS Movie at such strong light sources during shooting.
