OUTSIDE ANTENNA, EQUIPMENT, AND POWER EXPOSURE

1. ENSURESAFEANTENNAANDCABLE CONNECTIONS If anoutsideantennaorcablesystem is connected to the set, be suretheantenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage surges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code. ANSI/NEPA No. 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 togroundingelectrodesandrequirements for the grounding electrode: See figure1foritemsa-d below. a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) aluminum. No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) No. 17-AWG

(10mm2) copper-cladsteelorbronzewire, or larger, as ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators

spaced from4feet(1.22m)to 6 feet (1.83m) apart.

c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters

house.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the

equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21(I).

2. ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SOURCES OR CHANCE OFACCIDENTALCONTACTBYINSTALLER An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be reached by power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never contact these power sources if it falls. Installer should use extreme care to avoid possible fatal contact by touching power lines, circuits or other power sources when installing outside antenna.

Lightning–For addedprotectionforthisset during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning andpower-linesurges.

PREVENTS: * Recording scrambled channels.

NOTE:

If you are playing a tape or using the tunerbuilt into the VCR, the converter must be set to thevideo channel output of the VCR (either 3 or 4).

• CABLE INSTALLATION

Your VCR is capable of receiving 68 broadcast channels or up to 125 unscrambled cable channels. Local cable systems may vary, so check your cable company's compatibility requirements.

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception. This VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled programs your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are many ways to connect the VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection. For basic cable service, no premium (scrambled) channels.

ALLOWS: * Recording of nonscrambled channels. * Use of the programmable timer. * Recording of one channel while watching another.

(Set the VCR to the TV mode by pressing the TV/VCR key)
