I I Caution concerning condensation
Be careful of condensation
Condensation is the moisture that forms on the outside of a glass when you fill it with cold water. Condensation can also form inside a VCR when it is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm, humid one, or when a heater has been turned on to quickly heat the room.
Particular care must be taken with your VCR because water particles that form on the video head drum, which is the main
VCR mechanism, can cause the video tape to stick to the drum. This prevents proper tape travel and may damage both tape and mechanism.
Follow the procedures below the first time you use the
VCR, and whenever you use it in places which are subject to condensation:
@Connect the aerial cable and make all other necessary connections.
@Plug the power cord into a wall socket.
@Turn on the VCR power to warm it up and speed up the drying of any water particles that may have formed on the video head drum.
@Do not insert a video cassette.
It takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to completely eliminate condensation. Wait at least this long before using the
VCR.
I
The POWER button of this VCR is a secondary circuit, and does not disconnect the unit from the AC power source, even if the VCR is in stand-by, as long as the power cord is connected to an AC electrical outlet.
Note: Stand-by is the condition in which only the time is displayed.

Automatic head-cleaning system
This VCR is equipped with an automatic head-cleaning system which automatically cleans the heads every time a cassette is loaded or unloaded. However if during playback noise appears in the picture, it is recommended to use commercially available head-cleaning cassettes to completely clean the VCR heads.
REPAIRS
This VCR is a precision instrument and, if treated with care, will provide years of satisfactory performance. However, in the event of difficulty, the owner is advised not to attempt to make repairs or open the cabinet. Servicing should always be referred to your servicing dealer or Authorized Warranty Station.
