IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future
reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions, and instructions on the appliance, or the ones described in the operating instructions and
adhere to them.
USE
Power Sources–This set should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
electrical power supply at your home, consult your
dealer or local power company. For those sets
designed to operate from AC 90-250V~, 50/60Hz.
Grounding or Polarization–This set is equipped
with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other), or with a
threewire grounding type plug (a plug having a
third pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below.
Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience receptacle beyond
their capacity, since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry–Never push objects of
any kind into the set through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or shart out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments–Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as they may
cause hazards.
Cleaning–Unplug the set from the wall outlet
before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampended with water for cleaning the exterior of
the set.

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–Donotplacethesetonan
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
overturn.

4
–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.
