IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.

future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the
product and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments
not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories - Do not place this product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the
product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufac-
turer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to overturn.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
(Symbol provided by RETAC)
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and
to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating,
and these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.
11. Power Sources - This 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 product
dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization - This product
may be 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 should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
13. 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 product.
14. Protective Attachment Plug - The product is equipped with an attachment plug
having overload protection. This is a
safety feature. See Instruction Manual 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.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, 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 70, provides information with re-
Safety
iii
Page 6
gard 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 figure
below:
16. Lightning - For added protection for this
product 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 product due to lightning and power
lines surges.
17. 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.
18. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product 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 product.
20. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain
or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating 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 product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or dam-
aged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct
change in performance - this indicates a
need for service.
22. Replacement Parts - When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23. Safety Check - Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is
in proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
25. Heat - The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

NOTE
Overlapping Events
Solution: If two programmed events
overlap, you will be prompted to

of the event with the next earliest
starting time will be recorded.
• Complete Program Record (CPR) adjusts the record speed to make sure the tape does not run out
before the Timer Recording is complete. With Record Speed set to “Auto,” the DVD+VCR will begin
recording in SP. It will then calculate how much time is remaining on the tape and adjust the record speed
to SLP if necessary. If there is not enough room to record the entire show, the DVD+VCR will record in SLP
until the end of the tape is reached.
