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.

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.
