Care For Your Product

To avoid any malfunctions of the unit and to protect against electric shocks, fire or personal injuries, please observe the following:

Hold the plug firmly when connecting or disconnecting the AC power cord.
Place the AC cord away from any heat generating appliances. Never put any heavy object on the AC power cord.
Do not attempt to repair or reconstruct the AC power cord in any way.
Keep the unit away from any liquid. If water or other liquid is spilled on/into the unit, corrosion (which would eventually lead to malfunction), electric shock or fire may possibly occur.
Do not remove the outer panel of any appliance. Touching any internal part of the unit is dangerous.
Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray. Never allow children to place anything in the disc tray of any disc player.
Do not aim the lens directly at the sun. This could cause damage to the internal components of the movie camera.
Do not subject the set to strong vibrations or mechanical shocks.
Do not insert or remove the cassette tapes in dusty places.
Try not to use it with the cassette compartment facing down. This could cause uneven winding of the tape.
