CONTROLS
Note: This recorder has a battery to maintain display functions
and recording mode within 2 weeks in the event of power loss.
When the recorder is received, the unit must be connected to
power source for 48 hours to assure the battery has been
adequately charged.
Safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
turn off the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
Installation Requirements:
Choose a location in which air can pass through the
ventilation holes in the bottom, top and back of the unit
to prevent it from overheating.
Do not install the unit near sources such as radiators or air
ducts or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust, mechanical vibrations or shock.
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VCR
because it will adversely affect the performance of the
VCR.
Do not install the unit in an inclined position. The unit is
designed for operation in a horizontal position.
Operation:
Condensation: If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water
vapor in the air will condense on the surface of glass. This
is the condensation of moisture. Condensation on the
head drum, one of the most crucial parts of the VCR, will
cause damage to the tape. The VCR should not be
operated for at least 2 hours after being moved from a cold
to a hot environment to avoid condensation from
occurring on the head drum.
Cleaning:
Be careful: When surface of the case is wiped with a
volatile agent such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc., or a
chemically processed cloth, the surface finish may be
degraded or its coating may peel off.
Repacking:
It is wise to save the packing materials and box in case you
ever need to ship or store your unit.
