instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the
TV/VCR Combination to its normal
operation.
(e) If the TV/VCR Combination has been
dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
(f) When the TV/VCR Combination exhibits
a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
18 When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
19 Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this TV/VCR Combination, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the television is in a safe operating
condition.
20 If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected to the television receiver, 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 N0.70-1984, provides information with respect 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.

designed to give you excellent performance for many years to come.
We realize that you’re eager to turn it on and begin enjoying the high-quality pictures it delivers just as quickly as

receiver, its functions and some features which may be new to you. If you follow the instructions, this unit should
give you many years of viewing pleasure.
If for any reason it does not, we want to hear about it. Please write to us at the address above. CurtisMathes always
welcomes comments and suggestions on this or any of our other products.
On the other hand, when you discover the enjoyment, reliability and ease of use that is built into it, we hope that
you will tell your friends, and consider CurtisMathes when you make your next purchase of home entertainment
equipment.
In addition to TV/VCR combination, CurtisMathes produces a full line of audiovisual products built to the same
high design, engineering, and manufacturing standards as this unit.
Here are a few tips that will keep your TV/VCR Combination looking great and performing for years to come:
•Avoid putting it in excessively hot locations. Damage to the cabinet or premature component failures can result.
•There are ventilation holes in the bottom and rear of the cabinet. Make sure that they remain unobstructed. Do
not place the receiver on top of a thick cloth.
•If you don’t plan to use the receiver for several days, it’s a good idea to unplug it from the power outlet.
•Many common household cleaning agents, sprays, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the
surface of the cabinet. The best cleaning agents are mild soap and a damp cloth.
Again, thank you for choosing this CurtisMathes product. We have employed advanced engineering techniques in
its design, and manufactured it in one of the world’s most up-to-date production facilities. The result is a TV/VCR
Combination that we know you will be as proud to own as we were to create.

Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination
Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Y our TV/VCR Combination
Your TV/VCR Combination will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to
an external antenna or cable system. Follow the directions below to make this connection.
Please note that you will normally only have to make one of the connections shown below,
not all of them.
All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR
Combination. The antenna terminal is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic
tabs. For help in locating the antenna terminal, see “Your TV/VCR Combination's Back
Panel” on page 5.
There is no antenna provided with your TV/VCR Combination.
Connecting an Antenna
If your antenna ends in a single coaxial lead,
simply press or screw the cable onto the antenna
terminal on the back of your TV/VCR
Combination.
If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-ohm
adaptor. (An adaptor is included with your 13” TV/VCR Combination.) Place the leads underneath the screws on the adaptor, tighten the screws, then press the adaptor onto the antenna
terminal on the back of the TV/VCR Combination Combination.
10
Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination
Antennas with two sets of leads
You might have two sets of leads from your antenna system, especially if you have one antenna for VHF signals and one antenna for UHF signals.
If your antenna system has both a coaxial lead and twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a
combiner (available at your local electronics store). Press or screw the coaxial lead onto the
combiner; place the twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner and tighten the screws.
Press the cable from combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV/VCR
Combination.
If your antenna system has two sets of twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a combiner
(available at your local electronics store). Place one set of twin leads underneath the screws on
the combiner and tighten the screws. Do the same with the other set of twin leads. Press the
cable from the combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR
Combination.
