RECORDERS:
WHAT IS CONDENSATION?
1.
When
a
very
cold
drink
is
poured
into
a
glass,
the
water
droplets
which
form
on
the
outer
surface
of
the
glass
are
an
example
of condensation.
2.
Ifthe
VCR
is
exposed
to
a
rapid
increase
in
temperature
(such
as
warming
a
cold
room
or
after
transporting
it
from
a
cold
location
to
a
warm
one)
condensation
may
form
on
the
tape
transport
mechanism
inside
the
VCR.
By
heating
the
inside
of
the
VCR,
it
can
dry
up
the
moisture
and
prevent
damage
to
the
VCR
or
video
tape
from
condensation.
To
do
this,
plug
the
VCR
in
and
switch
the
VCR
POWER
to
ON.
Leave
the
VCR
on
for
at
least
2
hours
before
using
it
for
record
or
playback.
CONDENSATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN:
A cold room is heated quickly.
|
1.
The
VCR
is
moved
inside
from
outdoors,
or
from
a
cold
room
to
a
warm
one.
2.
3.
Humidity is high.
f NOTE:
*
Avoid
using

water
on
top
of
the
VCR,
e.g.,
vases,

OR
INSERT
ANY
OBJECT
INSIDE
THE
VCR
Touching
the
inside
of
the
cabinet
or
inserting
foreign
objects
of
any
kind
not
only
creates
a
safety
hazard
but
can
also
cause
extensive
damage.
PROTECT THE MAINS LEAD
Damage
to
the
mains
lead
may
cause
fire
or
shock
hazard.
When
unplugged,
hold
by
the
plug
only
and
pull
out
carefully.
UNPLUG THE MAINS LEAD DURING A LONG ABSENCE
Turn off the power and unplug the mains lead during a long
absence.

jong periods.
‘INSTALLATION LOCATION
For
excellent
performance
and
lasting
reliability
install

location that is:
1.
Well
ventilated,
out
of
direct
sunlight
and
away
from
direct
heat.
2. A solid vibration-free surface.
3.
Free
from
high
humidity,
excessive
dust
and
away
from
magnetic
fields.
* Never move the VCR without first removing the tape.
CARE OF THE VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

LOADING AND UNLOADING THE CASSETTE TAPE
Video casseite tapes can be loaded into your new VCR as long as the VCR is plugged into a power source. Even if the
VCR power switch is turned off, loading a cassette will automatically cause it to turn on. Use only video cassette tapes
marked MHS.
Use only standard grade VHS cassette tapes for reliable video recording. Please do not use: Pro; Hi-Fi and High Grade tapes as
damage to recording heads may occur.
LOADING
1] To position the cassette properly before inserting it in the cassette
slot, hoid the cassette so that the long narrow edge with the
contents label faces towards you. The other long narrow edge is
hinged and should face towards the VCR. The clear plastic window
that shows the video tape should face upward.
CORRECT
[2] Gently insert the videotape into the cassette slot to a point where
the VCR automatically retracts the cassette.
¢ When you insert the videotape, be sure to orient it squarely to the
slot.
Your new VCR has a protection circuit which will eject the tape if it is
loaded improperly. If the VCR ejects the tape you are trying to load,
remove it completely and check that the long narrow edge with the contents
label is facing towards you and that the clear plastic window that shows the
video tape is facing upwards. Then try again.
UNLOADING
[1] Press the EJECT button on the front of the VCR. INCORRECT
[2] Remove the cassette.
Your VCR will eject a video cassette even if the power to the VCR is turned off (as long as the VCR is plugged into an outlet).
It is impossible to eject the tape in the lock mode. When the EJECT button is pressed, the VCR will automatically turn on, eject the
tape, and turn off. However, in the recording mode,
it is not possible to eject a tape without first pressing STOP, from the remote or on the front panel of the VCR and then pressing
EJECT.
PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
Video cassettes come with an erasure prevention tab which, when removed, prevents the tape’s contents from being erased, or
recorded over.
If the cassette you insert in your VCR has the erasure prevention tab removed, your VCR will automatically eject it if you attempt to
record on it.
« We recommend that any torn or broken cassette tape requiring repair
be taken to professionals who specialize in such procedures. The
adhesives on many common types of tape could damage the head
of your VCR.
