Handling and storage
• Avoid using the recorder under the following conditions:
extremely hot, cold or humid places,
dusty places,
near appliances generating strong magnetic fields,
places subject to vibrations, and
poorly ventilated places.
• Be careful of moisture condensation.
Avoid using the recorder immediately after moving from a
cold place to a warm place. The water vapor in warm air
will condense on the still-cold video head drum and tape
guides and may cause damage to the tape and the recorder.
• Handle the recorder carefully.
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Do not place anything heavy on the recorder.
• Do not place anything which might spill and cause
trouble on the top cover of the recorder.
•
Use in horizontal (flat) position only.
• In case of transportation,
• Avoid violent shocks to the recorder during packing and
transportation.
• Before packing, be sure to remove the cassette from the
recorder.
Video cassettes
• This recorder employs S-VHS and VHS cassettes only.
S-VHS: ST-120 for 1 20(SPl/360(EPI minutes, ST-60 for
60/180 minutes and ST-30 for 30/90 minutes of
recording.
VHS:
T-160 for 160(SPl/480(EPI minutes, T-120 for
1 20/360 minutes, T-90 for 90/270 minutes, T-60
for 60/180 minutes and T-30 for 30/90 minutes of
recording.
• Video cassettes are equipped with a safety tab to prevent
accidental erasure. When the tab is removed, recording can
not be performed. If you wish to record on a cassette
•
whose tab has already been removed, use adhesive tape to
block the hole.
• Avoid exposing the cassettes to direct sunlight. Keep them
away from heaters.
• Avoid extreme humidity, violent vibrations or shocks,
strong magnetic fields (near a motor, transformer or mag
net) and dusty places.
• Place the cassettes in cassette cases and position vertically.

PRECAUTIONS
Moisture condensation
• If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the
air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called
moisture condensation.
• Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the video recorder, will cause damage to the
tape.
• Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you
move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under ex
tremely humid conditions.
• In conditions where moisture condensation may occur,
keep the power cord plugged in an AC outlet and the power
switched on; this would help prevent condensation from
occurring. When condensation has occurred, it will not
evaporate quickly orce the power is switched on. Wait a
few hours for the recorder to become dry.
Operation
• When a cassette is loaded, the power is switched on and,
if the safety tab has been removed, playback begins auto
matically.
• The cassette can be unloaded even when the power is off.
Pressing the EJECT button turns the power on and, after
ejection of the cassette, shuts it off automatically in this
case.
• As long as the TIMER button is engaged with the T I M E R
indicator lit, the POWER and EJECT buttons have n o effect
and unloading of a cassette is not possible. If a cassette. has
not yet been inserted, simply insert a cassette; the power
will be switched on to load the cassette properly and, after
completion of automatic loading, the Timer Recordrng
Standby mode will be engaged with power off.
Remote control unit
• Avoid violent shocks, especially take care not to drop the
unit.
• Take care not to allow liquid to spill into the unit or
dampen the terminals.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Avoid leaving the unit in places subject to direct sunlight or
extremely high temperatures.
