INTRODUCTION

The unauthorized recording of television programmes, video tapes, films and other such material may infringe upon copyright or the rights of third parties.

Safety precautions

DANGER:

This VCR contains live parts. Do not remove the cabinet.

Illustration of a no-smoking sign emitting smoke from a bottle onto a box (no text or symbols)

WARNING:

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

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.

Operating precautions

Note:

If the unit does not operate properly, switch it off, refer to the "TROUBLESHOOTING" or consult a dealer or a service center.

Illustration of a mechanical device with a circular component and stacked blocks (no text or symbols)

Place the VCR on a flat, stable, level surface. Never subject it to violent shaking or any other shock or impact.

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.

Illustration of a U-shaped magnet attracting a rectangular block with a diagonal line and no text or symbols.

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.

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. entering the unit.

Power on display

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 mains lead is connected to an AC electrical outlet.

Stand-by display

"Stand-by" is the condition in which only the time is displayed.

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:

① Connect the aerial cable and make all other necessary connections.
② Plug the mains lead into a wall socket.
③ 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.
④ Do not insert a video cassette.

Wait for 1-1/2 to 2 hours before using the VCR.

Notes:

• During the endless play, the VCR doesn't accept special playback functions such as forward search, reverse search or still picture.
• This function can only be activated using the control on the VCR itself. The feature cannot be activated using the remote control.

Counter memory

This convenient feature for finding the beginning of a specific recording etc., is made possible by the "Linear Time Counter" that indicates the tape run time in hours, minutes and seconds.

• Whenever you load a cassette tape, the counter will be reset to "0:00:00".
• When rewinding further back from position "0:00:00", the counter shows figures beginning with “—”.
• The tape stops at the memorized position "0:00:00" even when using fast forward when the counter reading begins with "--".

1

Press the RESET then the MEMORY button before starting recording or playback.

- The zero point of the counter is now memorized and the memory indicator "M" will illuminate.

2

Press the ◀◀REW button at the end of recording, or playback.

- The tape will be rewound automatically to the memorized position and then stop.

☐ The counter operates using control signals which are recorded on the tape, hence if you play back a tape or portion of tape which has nothing recorded on it, the counter will not operate.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control) function

Currently the PDC system is not widely used by broadcaster in the UK.

If it does gain wider use and you want to make use of it, this VCR can be adapted. Please consult your Sanyo authorized service agent.

The PDC function ensures that the recording is made according to the recording on and off time control signals broadcasted by the station. Therefore, if the recording on and/or off time are changed, the VCR is informed of the altered times and recording changed, whether it is at an earlier or later time.

Also, if the programme being recorded is interrupted (for ex. by a news special, etc.) and the PDC function is on, recording will be automatically interrupted and will automatically resume when the programme starts again.

Notes:

• Set the recording times and date exactly as advertised. If the on time is different from advertised, PDC timer recording will not be done.
• Not all TV stations transmit PDC signals. Check in your region to find out which stations transmit PDC signals.
• If the station does not transmit PDC signals or if the PDC function is not set, the recording will be held at the programmed times.

PDC stand-by period

When programming with the PDC function, the recording can be held anytime in the stand-by period if the starting time differs from the scheduled one. The stand-by period varies depending on the preset on time.

The preset on time is between 0:00 (midnight) and 23:59 (the following day)

The PDC stand-by period is from 20:00 (the previous day) to 3:59 (the following day)
