WARNING

Precautions

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 and D/K) and

SECAM (B/G and D/K) colour systems and to record and play on PAL and MESECAM colour systems. Also, the video TV can play tapes on

NTSC colour system.

Safety Information

For general safety:

Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Do not open the rear cover.

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.

For safe operations:

Do not operate the unit on anything but 230 V

AC.

Do not operate the unit if any liquid or solid object falls in it—have it checked immediately.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.

For your protection, refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

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.

terminal

If your video TV displays a poor picture after you clean the video heads, you may need to replace them. Consult your dealer or the Sony Service

Center nearest you.

Check the Video Heads after 1,000

Hours of Use

A video TV is a high precision machine. It must record on or play from magnetic tapes on which the image signals from the colour TV or the video camcorder are recorded.

The video heads or mechanical parts for transporting the tape are contaminated or worn after extended use. You should have your video TV checked after each 1,000 hours of use.
