When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure
that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to
the recorder, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the recorder …
… in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
… in direct sunlight.
… in a dusty environment.
… in an environment where strong magnetic fields are
generated.
… on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the recorder’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the recorder or remote
control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the
recorder or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the recorder during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move
it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation
may occur, keep the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
Installing/removing the lithium battery

Make sure that the power plug is connected to an AC outlet
and turn off the recorder power.
B
Open the battery cover while pressing the release tab as
illustrated.

To remove the lithium battery, press the latch downward
using a pointed non-metallic object, then pull out the lithium
battery.
D
Close the battery cover until it clicks in place.
Video heads cleaning
The heads get dirty in the following cases:
●
in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity
●
in a dusty environment
●
flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes
●
continuous usage for a long time

ATTENTION
TO MOBILE PHONE USERS:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause
picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a
blue back display.
ON PLACING THE RECORDER:
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.
DO NOT place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may
cause picture disturbance.
Be sure to connect the power plug to an AC outlet first before
installing the lithium battery; otherwise, the battery's service life
will be drastically shortened.
