• Do not force a videocassette upside down into the unit.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.
• Do not drop or excessively jar the unit or remote control.
• Do not use liquid cleaners on any surfaces. Only use a soft
(cotton or other non-static) cloth to wipe off fingerprints
or other imprints from the faceplate or remote control.
• Do not subject the unit to direct sunlight or an extremely
hot environment (e.g., closed windows on a hot summer
day, direct path of heater vent, etc.).
• Avoid using the unit under the following conditions:
– After extended parking on an extremely hot or cold day
– Near strong magnetic fields
– In an environment with excessive humidity, dust, or
vibration (e.g., off-road travel, etc.)
• If the unit has accumulated moisture condensation (e.g.,
after parking the vehicle outside overnight), allow the unit
to automatically remove it through a built-in Dew/Heat
Sensor circuit before attempting to play a videocassette.
See Dew/Heat Sensor Operation on page 9.
Videocassette Use
• Use only VHS-type (T-30, T-60, or T-120) videocassettes.
• Do not repeatedly load or unload a videocassette without
interim playback; doing so may cause the tape to slack
and become damaged.
• Do not directly touch the magnetic tape surface.
• Do not disassemble a videocassette.
• Avoid exposing a videocassette to direct sunlight and keep
it away from heat sources (e.g., heater vent).
• Avoid extreme environments such as high humidity,
excessive vibrations or jarring, strong magnetic fields
(e.g., speaker magnet, etc.) and dust.
• Always place a videocassette back in its case after use.
