Warranty obligations. The warranty document contains the type and number of your VCR. Keep the warranty document for the entire warranty period, that is, 1 year. It will be needed when you make claims about the performance of free warranty repairs. But this repair should only be carried out by qualified specialists, please make sure of this when handing over the VCR for repair. You should not open the lid yourself (disassemble the VCR) and try to repair it, this automatically deprives you of warranty service and may cause other damage or even fire to the device.
Instructions for security measures. Make sure that the voltage in your power supply fully corresponds to the one indicated on the label (see the cover) of your VCR.
Put the VCR in a horizontal position, make sure that the heating devices are at a sufficiently distant distance from the VCR. The required ventilation must be provided around the VCR, if it is in a niche, make sure that the distance from the body of the device to the walls will be sufficient for air circulation.
If your VCR or its cassettes have been in a cold place for a long time, before turning on the VCR or inserting a cold cassette into it, you should warm them up, just leave the device and cassettes alone at room temperature for 2 hours.
When the VCR is working, do not block the ventilation holes on the case, and during rain, if there is a thunderstorm, it is better to disconnect it from the electrical power supply and disconnect the outdoor antenna. Do not use the VCR for industrial purposes, it is made only for household use.

If you have programmed two recordings and the execution time of one recording overlaps the execution time of the other recording, the VCR will indicate the presence of this problem in the TIMER REVIEW menu. If this happens, change the programmed entries so that they don't run at the same time.

When programming some channels for recording for the first time, the VCR itself is installed on the Program line and reminds you that you need to enter the channel number.

Some programs are routed by certain channels using a VPS system, which is a video recorder programming system or a PDC system. The signals transmitted by these systems turn the recording on and off in the right place, even if there is a delay in the start of the television program. Your VCR can recognize these signals. If the program you are watching is transmitted using a VPS or PDC system, then the VPS or PDC indicator is played on the VCR display. In this case, you can use the functions listed below.
To avoid unnecessary difficulties associated with the need to explain to the VCR where the ShowView code is located and where the program number is located, the VCR automatically remembers where to look for programs that you have programmed to record using the ShowView system. This means that when you select a timer recording program using the ShowView system for the first time, the corresponding screen appears. Just enter the program number from your cable/satellite receiver. After that, the VCR will remember the location of this program. The next time you use the ShowView number associated with recording programming, the VCR will know where to look for the right program. Thus, the VCR will create a library of channel locations.
