REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15

This epuipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is operated in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or televi- sion reception, which can be determined by turning the product off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit differ- ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech- nician for help.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appli- ance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are danger- ous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

Cable TV:

If your cable connection has no converter or descrambler, unscrew the cable from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. If a converter is required connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack to the IN connector on the converter, and a coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the convert- er to the ANT IN on your DVD+VCR. This cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.

To view or record a CATV channel

1. Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).

2. Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the cable output channel. (Example: CH3)

3. Select a channel using the cable converter.

Notes:

• With this connection, you cannot record one program

while viewing another.

• If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not

necessary to do Auto Channel Set.
