Interference – Do not place your VCR near
appliances which may cause electromagnetic
interference (i.e. TV, HI-FI speakers). If you do, it may
adversely affect the working of the unit, causing the
picture or sound to distort.
Covers – Do not remove any fixed covers as this may
expose dangerous voltages.
Weather – It is advisable to unplug the aerial during a
thunderstorm.
Ventilation – The ventilation holes on the casing of
your VCR prevent it from over heating. Do not block or
cover these holes - especially with cloth or paper. It is
recommended you leave a 10cm gap all around your
VCR.
Damage – Never use your VCR if it is damaged in any
way. Always place your VCR on a flat level surface
avoiding anywhere which may be subject to strong
vibration.
Batteries – Batteries are easily swallowed by young
children. Do not allow young children to play with the
remote control unit.

hot or cold, place your VCR well away from heat
sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires.

rain, moisture, dust. If any liquid is spilt into your
television it can cause serious damage. If you spill any
liquid into your VCR switch it off at the mains
immediately. Contact your store immediately.
Your VCR is supplied with an approved
13AMP fused mains plug. When
replacing the fuse always use a 3AMP
(BS 1362) approved type.
To obtain a replacement fuse contact
your store.
If the mains sockets in your home differ
or are not suitable for the type of plug
supplied, then the plug should be cut
from the mains lead and a suitable
type fitted. You must use a 13 AMP
plug (BS 1363) and fit a 3 AMP fuse
(BS 1362).
If any other type of plug is used a 3
AMP fuse must be fitted, either in the
plug, adaptor or at the distribution
board.
