Precautionary safety measures/Tips

Do not take the appliance straight from a cold room into a hot
room or vice versa immediately after transportation. Do not use
in an extremely humid environment. To give the appliance time
to acclimatise, do not install the appliance for at least 3 hours
after unpacking.

Do not use the appliance in dusty rooms, near strong magnetic
fields or in places where it will be exposed to vibration.

We recommend disconnecting the appliance from the mains
during thunderstorms to prevent lightning damage.

There must be a vertical gap of at least 20 cm between the
video recorder and the television set/monitor.

Inserting fingers or foreign bodies into the cassette compart-
ment can damage the mechanics of the appliance.

This video recorder operates with standard VHS cassettes.

To ensure that the picture quality on your video recorder is as
good as possible, only use branded VHS cassettes.

This operating manual is printed on recycled paper. This helps
to preserve our environment.

Use your local facilities for environmentally friendly disposal of
packaging.

This electronic appliance contains many materials that can be
recycled. Find out whether your old one can be recycled in any
way.

Recommended servicing

This machine is designed for longevity. The operating hours are
displayed in the main menu (HOUR METER). In order to ensure
that your video recorder runs smoothly, we recommend servic-
ing it every 1000 hours as follows:

... Servicing, replacing components

The capstan motor and A/C head should also be replaced every
10,000 hours.

This table is only a rough guide to servicing. You should adapt
the actual servicing intervals according to the conditions in
which the video recorder is used.
