SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________________
ENGLISH
5
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 temperatu-
re, 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 moi-
sture, 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 compart-
ment, 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 circumstan-
ces. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting
from improper handling.
