The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem with
the unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by such
loss.
Examples of causes of such losses are
• A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.
• A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.
• A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.
• Video cassettes
• Break off the video cassette's tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with tape when you want to
use the video cassette for recording again.
oYou can use video cassettes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but the unit is unable to make full use of the
characteristics of S-VRS video cassettes.
• Video cassette care
• Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully and
discard them when they become dirty or damaged.
• Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to
become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
