CONDENSATION
Leave the VCR on, without a tape in
it, for 2 hours if the VCR has been
exposed to sudden changes in tem-
perature. Sudden temperature
changes cause moisture to form on
the metal parts inside the VCR. This
moisture can cause the tape to stick
and damage the head. Leaving the
VCR on for a 2 hour period will dry
the inside of the VCR.

Do not damage the power cord.
Damage to the power cord may
cause a fire or shock hazard. When
unplugging the power cord, please
hold it by the plug and remove it
carefully.
DO NOT PLACE HEAVY
