SET-UP AND SAFETY______________________________________________
This video recorder is designed to receive, record and play back video and
audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the video recorder is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if
it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and
let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a video cassette.
The video recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,
please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.
Do not expose the video recorder or cassettes to moisture.
Place the video recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
(newspapers, for example) on top of the video recorder or any cloth or similar
items underneath it.
Do not place the video recorder near heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling. Keep the video recorder away from devices which generate
magnetic fields, such as loudspeakers.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the video tape compartment, as this may
damage its precision mechanics.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the video recorder as they may spill
liquid and present an electrical safety risk.
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even when the video
recorder is switched off it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or
antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
Do not open the video recorder casing under any circumstances. The manu-
facturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
