For safe installation:
•Do not block the ventilation openings.
•Do not install the unit in hot, humid, or
excessively dusty places.
•Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to
mechanical vibrations.
•Position the unit so that there is a clear space of
10 cm from a wall, allowing you to press the U

About Moisture
Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a
warm place, moisture may condense on the video
head drum. If this happens, the tape may stick to
the head drum and it may be damaged or the unit
may not operate correctly. To avoid possible
damage caused by moisture condensation, be sure
not to leave a cassette inside the compartment
when the unit is not in use. When bringing the unit
from a cold place to a warm place, wait for about
10 minutes before operating it.
If the tape operation buttons do not work due to
moisture condensation, leave the unit for more
than one hour with the power on.
WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
unit to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the
set. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Caution
Television programmes, films, video tapes and
other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be
contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws.
Colour System of Your
Set
This video TV is designed to receive TV
programmes based on PAL (B/G) colour system
and to record and play on PAL colour system.
