13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)
14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR receiver
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 TV/VCR due to lightning and power-line surges.
15.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.
16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind
into this TV/VCR through openings as they may touch dan­gerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV/VCR.
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to danger­ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali­fied service personnel.
19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel under the following conditions: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
TV/VCR. c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the TV/VCR to its normal operation. e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance-this indicates a need for service.
20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same character-
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-
ards.
21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper
operating condition.
22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
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 shall be connect­ed to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

However when playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes
recorded on units other than your own, noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the play­back picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking control manually by pressing the CHAN­NEL K or L button until the streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback again.
2)Press it again and the TV/VCR will now search in super high speed. (in the LP / SLP modes only)

STILL PICTURE
You can view a still picture on the TV screen during playback (the Still mode). Press the PAUSE/STILL button during playback. Only tapes recorded in the SLP mode will show the least amount of lines.Press the PLAY button to return to playback.
NOTES:
Usually there will be video “noise” lines (black
and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is normal.
If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP mode, the still picture will be black and white in addition to the “noise” lines.
This is not a fault of the machine, but is a by­product of the technology involved in producing a TV/VCR with 2 video heads.
If it is left in the Pause mode for more than five
minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to the Stop mode.
NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode)
This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise lines of a still picture.Press the PAUSE/STILL button so that the noise lines change position on the screen so you can see the picture in its entirety with­out distracting noise lines.
NOTE: This feature can be activated ONLY when viewing a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape was originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the still picture may revert to black and white in addition to the “noise bars”. This is normal.
PICTURE SEARCH
This feature is very useful in finding or skipping over a particular scene on a tape. In this mode, the sound will be muted.
1)You may view a video tape at a high speed in either a forward or reverse direction by pressing the F.FWD or REW button during playback.
(in the SP / LP / SLP modes)
VERTICALHOLD CONTROL
In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing the CHANNEL K or L button.
NOTE:
If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposition or reduce them. Refer to “NOISE CANCEL”.
