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

damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change  
in temperature.

• Make sure that the tape length is selected correctly  
according to the tape used on the SET UP screen  
(page 24).  
• 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  
changes from SP to SLP.
