CAUTION:

Do not put your hand or other objects in the cassette loading slot because of the risk of injury or an accident. Be sure to keep small children away from the VCR.

Caution concerning condensation

Be careful of condensation

Condensation can 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.

Do not insert a video cassette if you use this VCR in areas subject to condensation. Wait for 112 to 2 hours to completely eliminate condensation before using the VCR.

Operating precautions

• Place the VCR on a flat, stable, level surface. Never subject it to violent shaking or any other shock or impact.
• Do not expose the unit to high temperatures. Excessive heat (heat sources such as heaters, ovens, closed car on hot days, etc.) may damage the unit.
• Be sure to use this VCR only in a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 105°F) and at less than 80% humidity.

• Do not use the unit under the following conditions:

• in locations with high humidity
  – in presence of excessive dirt or dust
  – in areas subject to strong vibrations

• near strong magnetic fields (e.g. transmitting antennas, motors, fluorescent lights, etc.)

• Do not stack anything on top of your VCR, or block the air vents, to prevent damaging or overheating.

• Do not place anything, except VHS video cassette tapes, in the unit.
• Do not allow rain, steam, dew, salt water, sand, oily smoke, metal objects, etc. to enter the unit.

Aerial/RF connection

Set one of the channels on the TV as a video channel specifically for the signals from the VCR. See "Setting the TV to the video channel" on page 8.

Note:

Stereo sound can only be enjoyed when the VCR is connected to a stereo monitor/TV or stereo audio system using an AV or Hi-Fi audio connection.

Additional connections

AV connection

If your TV has an AV terminal, the following AV connections are also possible.

• The advantage of this connection is a higher quality of picture and sound during playback.
• When the PLAY or VIDEO Plus+ button is pressed, the TV is automatically switched to the AV mode.

Hi-Fi audio connection

You can obtain a dynamic sound output through your Hi-Fi system when you playback a tape recorded in Hi-Fi stereo on this VCR.

Mains lead connections

- If the plug supplied with this appliance is not suitable for the wall socket in your home, it should be cut off and the correct type fitted.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured according to the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus do not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured blue or black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured brown or red.
• Do not connect either wire to the Earth terminal.

Disposal of plug

If the non rewireable plug is to be cut off, the removed plug should be disposed of carefully as there is a shock hazard should the plug be inserted into a live socket.

Replacing the fuse

The detachable fuse cover must be replaced after changing the fuse. Only a 3A fuse should be used, it should comply with BS1362, and should carry the ASTA mark.

The sound is played back as indicated below:

• The sound corresponding to frames A, C and E is heard.
• The sound corresponding to frames B and D will not be heard.

When using the Super QuickReview function, you can select to play back or mute the sound during the variable playback modes (“Function setup” see page 10).

To satellite receiver users

If you record a programme with a bilingual sound track and do not preselect which sound track to record, the VCR will record both sound tracks. If you then try to use the QuickReview function with that recording, you will hear sampled sound from both sound tracks.

To avoid this, please select the sound track you want to record on the satellite receiver before you set the VCR timer.

(Please refer to your satellite receiver manual for sound track selection.)
