Caution and Care

CONDENSATION IS THE ENEMY OF VIDEO RECORDERS

WHAT IS CONDENSATION?

1. When a very cold drink is poured into a glass, the water droplets which form on the outer surface of the glass are an example of condensation.

2. If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming it in a cold room or after transporting it from a cold location to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. By heating the inside of the

VCR, it can dry up the moisture and prevent damage to the VCR or video tape from condensation. To do this, plug the VCR in and switch the VCR POWER to ON. Leave the VCR on for at least 2 hours before using it for recording or playback.

CONDENSATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN:

1. The VCR is moved inside from outdoors or from a cold room to a warm one.

2. A cold room is heated quickly.

3. Humidity is high.

Note

• Avoid using the VCR where cold air (e.g., from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.

Never place anything containing water on top of the VCR; (e.g., vases, cups, etc.).

Heavy objects (e.g., TV) should never be placed on the VCR

NEVER TOUCH OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INSIDE THE VCR

Touching the inside of the cabinet or inserting foreign objects of any kind not only creates a safety hazard but can also cause extensive damage.

PROTECT THE POWER CORD

Damage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging the power cord, hold it by the plug only and pull out carefully.

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCE

Turn the power off and unplug the power cord during a long absence.

MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the VCR. For maximum ventilation, place the unit on a hard level surface only, and ensure it is not covered during use.

WHEN NOT IN USE

When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn the VCR off.

CABINET CARE

Never use petroleum-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth moistened with soap and water and wipe dry. PVC cables or leads should not be left in contact with the cabinet surface for long periods.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

For excellent performance and lasting reliability, install in a location that is:

1. Well ventilated, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat.

2. A solid, vibration-free surface.

3. Free from high humidity, excessive dust and away from magnetic fields.

Note Never move the VCR without first removing the tape.

CARE OF THE VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

• Avoid vibration or shock.

• Do not place near a strong magnetic field (e.g., a motor, transformer or magnet).

• Never place or store in direct sunlight.

• Avoid dusty places.

• Place the cassette in its case and store vertically.

• Never store tape in high humidity.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

This VCR includes a built-in backup memory, so the preset day and present time will remain in memory even if there is a power failure. However, if the power cord is disconnected for a long period of time (2-3 months), the present time may not be accurate. In this case, set the clock again.

Info.

• The battery is fully charged if the VCR’s power cord is plugged into the outlet for 40 or more hours per week.

• If the battery is fully charged, even if the power cord is not plugged in, the following settings will remain in memory for up to 31 days:

– The day and present time display

– Alarm list

– Power loss list

– Number of tape uses

– Counter display

– Recording/Playback mode

Note

• When ALARM REC DURATION of the RECORDING SET

UP menu is set to MAN1 or MAN2 and a power failure occurs during the alarm recording, the VCR may not return to the alarm recording mode when the power comes back on.

Warning Display

Self-diagnostic function

This VCR uses a self-diagnostic function to detect an internal malfunction during recording. When a malfunction occurs in the VCR during recording, the indicator corresponding to each malfunction illuminates on the fluorescent display and/or on screen.

The type of malfunction corresponding to the indicator and countermeasures are given below.

Fluorescent display

Monitor Cause

End noSIg

TAPE END

NO SIGNAL

The tape ends during recording.

Lack of video signal input.

Remedy To turn off the indicator

Rewind the tape or press the EJECT button.

Check for loose connections.

Turn off the indicator on the fluorescent display and screen by pressing the

EJECT button or rewinding the tape.

When a video signal is restored or the recording mode is cleared, the indicator on the fluorescent display and screen turns off.

(the display starts flashing)

CLOg

CHECK

Tape/deck trouble.

Clogged head.

First, check the cassette. If there seems to be nothing wrong with the cassette, try the recording operation again. If the indicator

“CHECK” is still displayed on the monitor, replace the cassette with a new one and try the operation again. If this does not clear the indicator, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.

Eject the cassette and insert it again. If the indicator “CLOg” is still displayed, clean the video cassette tape. If the VCR still shows the indicator after cleaning, contact your dealer.

When the recording mode is cleared, the indicator on the fluorescent display on screen turns off.

When the tape ends

When the tape reaches its end during recording, “End” illuminates on the fluorescent display and “TAPE END” illuminates on screen.

The warning indicators will not illuminate, if TAPE END in FIRST TIME SET UP menu is set to REPEAT, ALARM•PROT (when no alarm recording is made) or REWIND.

Lack of video signal input

The indicator “NO SIGNAL” appears on screen and “noSIg” flashes on the fluorescent display when the VCR cannot get any video input signal during recording. The video input signal will not be obtained in case of any malfunction such as a broken video cable or

POWER to the camera is turned off.

About fouling of the head (Clogged head)

When CLOG DETECT of the RECORDING SET UP menu is set to ON, the VCR automatically remove any particles that may accumulate on the heads during time-lapse recording mode. If it cannot be entirely removed, “CLOg” flashes on the fluorescent display. If so, follow the remedy of “CLOg” in the above chart.
