PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm
day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense
on the head drum or the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal
parts of the unit.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place.
When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the
cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from
an air conditioned room.
When you use the unit in a humid place.
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the
disc, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two
or three hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any
moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.

Blackspotsor horizontal streaks may
appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from
carignitionsystems,neonlamps,elec-
trical drills and other electrical appli-
ances.
The most common types of television interference are as follows.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television
signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected
from tall buildings, hills or some other
object.Changingthedirectionorposi-
tion of the antenna may improve the
reception.
SNOW
If your receiver is located in the fringe
area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be
marred by the appearance of small
dots. When the signal is extremely
weak, it may be necessary to install a
special antenna to improve the pic-
ture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the AC power source before cleaning.The finish on the cabinet may be
cleaned with mild soap and a soft damp cloth.Take care when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

ples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the
picture.
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
AUTO HEAD CLEANING cleans the video heads automatically when a cassette is inserted or ejected. This prevents dirt from
accumulating onto the heads which can cause snowy picture.
Manual head cleaning is needed if the picture on playback is still unclear although the picture on program is normal. This failure
signifies that the head is getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning,
use a high quality head-cleaning cassette or have them cleaned professionally.
NOTES:
•Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
•To help prevent video head cleaning, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn tapes.
