INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely
before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating
Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in
the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as
well as the safety suggestions below.
Warning
To prevent electric shock or injury, these safety instructions
should be followed in the installation, use and servicing the
unit.
Installation
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended
by the unit manufacturer as they may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the
like.
Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including
heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate
heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than
5˚C (41˚F) or greater than 35˚C (95˚F ).
Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to
the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
unit. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Portable cart - An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
S3125A
Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.
Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit,
and 5 cm from the each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom
are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation
of the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface. (This unit should never by placed near or
over a radiator or heat register.) This unit should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless
proper ventilation is provided.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the unit.
Electric Power
Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company. To
operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

ENGLISH
Power-Cord Protection - This unit is provided with an
attachment plug having overload protection. This is a safety
feature. See operating instructions for replacement or
resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is
required, be sure the service technician has used a
replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the
same overload protection as the original plug.
Overloading - Do not allow anything to reset on the power
cord. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not locate this unit
where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
Outdoor Antenna
Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No.70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See the figure.

Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
2) If the liquid has been spilled into the unit.
3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
4) If the unit does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or having the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
Safety Check - Upon the completion of any service or
repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper
operating condition.
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 should be connected to the grounding

Checking the channel set-up
to use VCR Plus+ system
To set the timer using VCR Plus+ system, you have to
check whether the VCR channel numbers match the guide
channels which are assigned to the TV stations.
If they do not match, the VCR Plus+ system does not
function correctly. In this case, coordinate the number.
For example
For each channel your VCR receives, use the channel line
up chart to check that the channel numbers match. For
example, SHOWTIME is listed in the channel line up chart
(under the VCR Plus+ Code) as channel 38, your VCR
receives SHOWTIME on channel 14, you need to coordinate
these numbers by locating guide channel 38 (under GUIDE
CH). Next enter your SHOWTIME channel 14 (under
CHANNEL) .
Continue this process until all channels match.
