The STANDBY/ON o button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches  
operating current on and off. “y ” shows electrical power standby and “ z” shows ON.  
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on  
a single-speed video recorder.  
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides  
to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)  
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws  
governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.  
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the recorder, remote control or video  
cassette.  
1. DO NOT place the recorder…  
… in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.  
… in direct sunlight.  
… in a dusty environment.  
… in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.  
… on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.  
2. DO NOT block the recorder’s ventilation openings or holes.  
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be  
able to get out.)  
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the recorder or remote control.  
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the recorder or remote control.  
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)  
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.  
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any con-  
tainers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants,  
cups, etc.) on top of this unit.  
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.  
8. AVOID violent shocks to the recorder during transport.  
MOISTURE CONDENSATION  
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place,  
or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with  
cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions  
where condensation may occur, keep the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.  
Cassettes marked “VHS” (or “S-VHS”) can be used with this video recorder. However, only VHS record-  
ing can be made and played back.  
HQ VHS is compatible with existing VHS equipment.

Some Do’s And Don’ts  
On The Safe Use Of Equipment  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like  
any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be  
assured.  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-  
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your  
equipment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is  
damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is  
designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the  
equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may  
need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the require-  
ments of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety  
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the  
instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL...  
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in  
the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than  
sorry!

IMPORTANT  
re-running setup Plug&Play Setup may not behave as described if it has  
already been run on the VCR. This is because some of the information gathered  
on the first Plug&Play Setup is retained in memory and that part of the process  
may be skipped by the VCR.  
duplicate stations You may be able to receive the same station from two  
different transmitters in which case Plug&Play Setup will detect and store both.  
It is normal for one transmitter to give you a better quality picture than the  
other; to delete those stations which have a poor picture Delete A Channel on  
page 19.

A: The VCR stops playback, rewinds the tape  
and ejects the cassette, then enters the standby  
mode automatically.
