Caution and Care CONDENSATION IS THE ENEMY OF VIDEO RECORDERS WHAT IS CONDENSATION? 1. When a very cold drink is poured into a glass, the water droplets which form on the outer surface of the glass are an example of condensation. 2. If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming it in a cold room or after transporting it from a cold location to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. By heating the inside of the VCR, it can dry up the moisture and prevent damage to the VCR or video tape from condensation. To do this, plug the VCR in and switch the VCR POWER to ON. Leave the VCR on for at least 2 hours before using it for recording or playback. CONDENSATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN: 1. The VCR is moved inside from outdoors or from a cold room to a warm one. 2. A cold room is heated quickly. 3. Humidity is high. Note • Avoid using the VCR where cold air (e.g., from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it. Never place anything containing water on top of the VCR; (e.g., vases, cups, etc.). Heavy objects (e.g., TV) should never be placed on the VCR NEVER TOUCH OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INSIDE THE VCR Touching the inside of the cabinet or inserting foreign objects of any kind not only creates a safety hazard but can also cause extensive damage. PROTECT THE POWER CORD Damage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging the power cord, hold it by the plug only and pull out carefully. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCE Turn the power off and unplug the power cord during a long absence. MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the VCR. For maximum ventilation, place the unit on a hard level surface only, and ensure it is not covered during use. WHEN NOT IN USE When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn the VCR off. CABINET CARE Never use petroleum-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth moistened with soap and water and wipe dry. PVC cables or leads should not be left in contact with the cabinet surface for long periods. INSTALLATION LOCATION For excellent performance and lasting reliability, install in a location that is: 1. Well ventilated, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat. 2. A solid, vibration-free surface. 3. Free from high humidity, excessive dust and away from magnetic fields. Note Never move the VCR without first removing the tape. CARE OF THE VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES • Avoid vibration or shock. • Do not place near a strong magnetic field (e.g., a motor, transformer or magnet). • Never place or store in direct sunlight. • Avoid dusty places. • Place the cassette in its case and store vertically. • Never store tape in high humidity.

during recording, the indicator corresponding to each malfunction illuminates on the fluorescent display and/or on screen. The type of malfunction corresponding to the indicator and countermeasures are given below. When the tape ends When the tape reaches its end during recording, “End” illuminates on the fluorescent display and “TAPE END” illuminates on screen. The warning indicators will not illuminate, if TAPE END in FIRST TIME SET UP menu is set to REPEAT, ALARM•PROT (when no alarm recording is made) or REWIND. Lack of video signal input The indicator “NO SIGNAL” appears on screen and “noSIg” flashes on the fluorescent display when the VCR cannot get any video input signal during recording. The video input signal will not be obtained in case of any malfunction such as a broken video cable or POWER to the camera is turned off. About fouling of the head (Clogged head) When CLOG DETECT of the RECORDING SET UP menu is set to ON, the VCR automatically remove any particles that may accumulate on the heads during time-lapse recording mode. If it cannot be entirely removed, “CLOg” flashes on the fluorescent display. If so, follow the remedy of “CLOg” in the above chart. To turn off the indicator Remedy Fluorescent display Monitor The tape ends during recording. Clogged head Cause TAPE END – NO SIGNAL CHECK Tape/deck trouble Lack of video signal input Check for loose connections. Rewind the tape or press the EJECT button First, check the cassette. If there seems to be nothing wrong with the cassette, try the recording operation again. If the indicator “CHECK” is still displayed on the monitor, replace the cassette with a new one and try the operation again.
