operated sets near water-for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories–Do not place the set on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The set may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult,
and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer.
Ventilation–The slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never
be blocked or covered.
– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth
or other materials.
– Never block the slots and openings by placing
the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface.
Portable Cart Warning–An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to

–Never place the set in a confined space such as
a bookcase, or built-in cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Power-Cord Protection–Route the power cord in
order not to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point
where the cord exits from the appliance.
–Do not place the set over a radiator or heat
register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
In the normal temperature, if you pour a cold
liquid into a glass, water vapour in the air will
condense on the surface of the glass. This is
moisture condensation. The moisture
condensation may occur inside of VCPs, if used in
this condition, it will cause damage to the head
and the tape.
In case of moving the VCP from a cold place to
heated place,
Or the temperature of surroundings goes up due
to room heating switched on.
Or moving the VCP suddenly from air conditioned
room to a place of high temperature of humidity in
summer.
When the moisture condensation occurs inside of
the VCP, NEVER insert the cassette into the
cassette compartment. Remove the cassette, if
loaded, by pressing the STOP/EJECT key. Only
operate the VCP after the moisture condensation
has completely dried out. Normally, it takes about
2 hours.
