IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
Save Original Packing Materials  
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship  
your VCR. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory.  
Avoid Volatile Liquid  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit.  
Do not leave rubber or plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will mar the  
finish.  
Moisture Condensation  
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.  
When the VCR is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the  
cylinder inside, one of its most crucial internal parts. To prevent the VCR from possible  
damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change  
in temperature.  
Compatibility  
This video cassette recorder (VCR) is compatible with any other VCR bearing the  
mark. HQ VHS equipment is also compatible with existing, non-HQ VHS equipment.

instructions.  
3. Grounding or Polarization  
This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power  
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug  
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact  
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety  
purpose of the polarized plug.

7. Cleaning  
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid  
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
8. Power-Cord Protection  
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge  
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Make sure that the tape length is selected correctly  
according to the tape used on the SET UP screen  
(page 22).  
• When the SLP tape speed is selected and the tape  
length is not sufficient to record the program to the  
end, the program cannot be recorded to the end.  
• The picture will be distorted when playing the part  
where the recording tape speed is switched from  
SP to SLP with the Auto Speed Select feature.  
If you are not sure the tape is long enough for  
timer program recording in the SP tape speed,  
set the recording tape speed to “AUTO”.  
Recording starts in the SP tape speed and the  
VCR automatically selects the tape speed to  
record the program to the end. If the tape length  
is not long enough, the tape speed automatically
