This video recorder is intended for reception, recor-
ding, and reproduction of picture and sound
signals.
Any other application is expressly prohibited.
w
!
If the recorder is exposed to drastic temperature
changes, for example taking it from a cold to a
warm place, connect the recorder to the mains sup-
ply and let it stand at the new place for at least two
hours without a cassette loaded.
w
!
Place the recorder on a flat and hard surface.
Do not place the recorder on a mat or anything
similar. Do not place any objects (e.g. newspapers)
on the recorder as this would cover the ventilation
slits which are necessary for cooling.
w
!
Do not place the recorder in the immediate vicinity
of a heat source or in direct sunlight, as this would
also prevent appropriate cooling.
Keep the recorder away from magnetic fields
(e.g. loudspeakers).
w
!
Do not expose the recorder or the cassette to any
moisture.
The recorder is intended for use in dry rooms.
If you wish to operate it in the open air, make abso-
lutely sure that it is protected against moisture
(rain, splashes of water).
Do not place any object filled with water (vases and
similar) on the recorder. The object might fall over
and the liquid spilling into the unit would impair its
electrical safety.
w
!
Thunderstorms are a danger for any electrical appli-
ance. Even when switched off, the recorder might
be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains supp-
ly and/or the aerial lead.
During a thunderstorm you should always dis-
connect the mains and aerial plugs.
w
!
Never insert any foreign objects into the cassette
compartment or the ventilation slits. This might
damage the sensitive mechanism.
w
!
Never open the recorder.
Damage caused by unqualified manipulation is not
covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
