DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT. THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THIS UNIT. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or other moisture. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Location For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation: • Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat. • Avoid dusty or humid places. • Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation holes. • Install the VCR in a horizontal position only. • Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations. • Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page). • Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this may cause playback or recording problems. Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire • Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. • Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug. • If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorized service center. • Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR. Moisture Condensation Problems Cause: When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity, dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator (À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside, damage may result. Prevention: 1 Make all necessary connections. 2 Plug the power cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. 3 Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours. When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready to operation. For the customers in Canada “This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.” 2
