"Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of cable entry as practical".
Notes:
This unit uses 8mm video format cassettes.
It records and plays back in the SP mode (14.3 mm/sec).
It cannot record and play back in the LP mode (7.2 mm/sec).
This camcorder uses a Hi-Fi stereo sound system. When a tape recorded
by this camcorder is played by a conventional 8mm camcorder, monaural
sound is output. When a tape recorded by a conventional camcorder is
played by this machine, monaural sound is output.
MOISTURE
Avoid operating your camcorder immediately after moving it from a cold
place to a warm, humid place. Give the camcorder 2 to 3 hours to stabilize
in the ambient conditions of the surroundings before inserting a cassette.
When moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, moisture may
condense on the head drum inside the machine. This moisture could
cause the tape to stick to the headwheel and damage the headwheel or
tape.
When moisture is detected, the camcorder ejects the tape automatically to
protect it, so the camcorder cannot be operated.
When a small amount of moisture is sensed, "TAPE" flashes in the
viewfinder. Remove the cassette and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to
OFF, then wait for about one hour with the case open.
Since condensation progresses gradually, the indication does not appear
immediately after condensation starts. When condensation occurs, leave
the case open to dry the camcorder. If the case is closed while there is
condensation, it takes longer for the camcorder to dry.
