IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video
product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is your
responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment
and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before
operating and using your video product.
Installation
1 Read and Follow Instructions- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the video product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
2 Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3 Heed Warnings-Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating
instructions.
4 Polarization- This video product is equipped 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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. To
prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or
other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If you need an
extension cord, use a polarized cord.
5 Power Sources-This video product 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 video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6 Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets of extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or
cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire
i
Safety information
harzard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
7 Power-Cord Protection- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the video product.
8 Ventilation- Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer’s
instruction’s have been followed.
9 Attachments- Do not use attachments unless recommended by the video product manufacturer
as they may cause hazards.
10 Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product near water- for example, near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool and the
like.
Caution : Maintain electrical safety. Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected
to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself
and should not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any
potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
11 Accessories- Do not place this video product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious
damage to the video product. Use this video product only with a cart, stand , tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the video product. Any mounting of
the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
11A A video product and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the video
product and cart combination to overturn.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC
which 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.
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video
product, 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. 70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical
Code,
Part 1) provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See example as shown.

Connections & Setup
Things to Consider Before Connecting Components
Protect Components From Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place any Audio/Video (A/V)cables to the side(s)of the TV ’s back panel instead of straight
down the back after connecting components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as
possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.Refer to the Safety Tips sheet
packed with your unit for detailed information.
Protect Components From Overheating
• Never block ventilation slots in any component.Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it
will not flow around other components.
Cable Considerations
The RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR carries both sound and picture information.This
is the cable used in all connection diagrams in this chapter.
If your TV has A/V input jacks,you should use A/V cables (not supplied)to connect the VCR to
the TV. A/V cables provide better picture and sound quality than an RF coaxial cable. If you
would like to hook up your VCR using A/V cables,refer to the Advanced Connection
information on page 33 in the Other Information chapter of the manual.
