Caution
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW VCR, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS
OPERATION MANUAL AND THEN SAVE IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AS
IT WILL BE USEFUL IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OPERATING YOUR
VCR IN THE FUTURE.
Location and Handling

3.
4.
5.
6.
Air vents are provided in the VCR cabinet to
prevent excessive temperatures inside the
unit. Do not place your VCR in closed
spaces, cover it, or otherwise block the
vents.
Do not place the VCR in direct sunlight, or
near heat sources.
Keep the VCR and tapes away from strong
magnetic objects.
Do not insert or drop anything into the VCR
through the air vents or cassette
compartment as this could cause serious
damage, possibly resulting in fire.
Do not place any object containing water or
other liquids on the VCR. In the event that
liquid should enter the cabinet, unplug the
VCR immediately and contact the retailer or
service centre approved by Sharp
immediately.
Do not remove the VCR cabinet. Touching
parts inside the cabinet could result in
electric shock and/or damage to the VCR.
For service and adjustment inside the
cabinet call a qualified dealer or service
centre approved by Sharp.
Moisture Condensation
Rapid temperature changes and storage or operation in extremely high
humidity environments may cause “dew” to condense inside the VCR cabinet.
Dew can cause serious damage to your tapes and the video heads. Should
dew form inside the unit, the dew indicator will light up and all normal VCR
operations will be inoperable.
l If the dew indicator lights up, wait until
the moisture evaporates. When the
power is on, the drum spins, and the dew
evaporates more quickly.
* As an extra measure of protection for the
video heads, wait another 5 minutes after
if-~: $vRindicator goes out before using
l The dew sensor may take a few minutes to detect moisture. Accordingly,
when the VCR is first hooked up or when the power cord is plugged into the
socket again, wait about 30 minutes and confirm that the dew indicator has
not lit up before attempting to operate the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself. Please refer any service to the
nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

Copyright may exist on material you wish to record. Copying such material
without permission of the relevant licensees or owners of the copyright is
prohibited by law. Sharp is not in a position to authorize the recording of
copyrighted works and nothing in this operation manual should be read or
implied as giving that authority.
This VCR is not equipped with a mains power switch. Accordingly, nominal
current to drive the clock is drawn at all times when the power cord is plugged
into a wall socket. If the VCR is not to be used for an extended period, be
sure to unplug the cord.
