REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15
This product has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the product is
operated in a residential installation. This product
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this
product does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the product off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
ꢀ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
ꢀ Increase the separation between the product
and receiver.
This lightning flash with arrowhead sym-
bol within an equilateral triangle is intend-
ed to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of suffi-
cient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilater-
al triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
WARNING: Do not install this equipment in a con-
fined space such as a bookcase or similar unit.
CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed
to water (dripping or splashing) and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed
on the apparatus.
ꢀ Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
ꢀ Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: Many
television programs and films are copyrighted.
In certain circumstances, copyright law may apply
to private in-home video taping of copyrighted
materials.
CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH AN EXTEN-
SION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUT-
LET UNLESS THE PLUG CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED WITHOUT EXPOSING ANY PARTS
OF THE BLADES.
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 moisture condensation. Moisture
condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the
tape.
When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature
change from cold to warm, some condensation
will occur. Under this condition, connect the power
cord to the AC line, press POWER button on and
allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.
The serial number is found on the back of this
unit. This number is unique to this unit and not
available to others. You should record requested
information here and retain this guide as a per-
manent record of your purchase.
Model No.
Serial No.
In case of using with a portable radio closely, the VCR may not operate normally.
