The STANDBY/ON 1 button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and off. This unit is produced to comply with Standard IEC 60065. When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear). When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly. Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the player, remote control or video cassette. 1. DO NOT place the player … …in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity. …in direct sunlight. …in a dusty environment. …in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated. …on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration. 2. DO NOT block the player’s ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.) 3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the player or remote control. 4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the player or remote control. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.) 5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. 6.

DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus. 8. AVOID violent shocks to the player during transport. Beware of moisture condensation Moisture in the air will condense on the player when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the player’s power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry. When transporting ¦ Be sure to remove cassette from player before packing. ¦ Avoid violent shocks to the player during packing and transport. Video heads cleaning Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or interrupted.
