IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
ATTENTION:
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate this product and keep this booklet for future reference.
INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
(A)Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent 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.
(B)Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only
fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
2. Power Sources
Operate your product 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. If your product is intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
3. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
4. 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.
5. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
●Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
●Do not place the product 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.
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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 regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
— 2 —
2. 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-line surges.
3. 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.

CConnect the supplied RF cable between the TV OUT terminal on the rear of the VCR and the TV’s antenna input terminal.
AV Connection
(improves picture quality during tape playback.)
If your TV is equipped with audio/video input connectors
A Connect the antenna, VCR and TV as shown in the illustration.
BConnect an audio/video cable between the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio/video input connectors on the TV.
S-video Connection
(allows you to make the most of the S-VHS picture performance.) If your TV is equipped with a S-video input connector
A Perform “RF Connection” previously described.
BConnect the supplied S-video cable between the S-VIDEO OUT connector on the rear of the VCR and the S-video input connector on the TV.
CConnect an audio cable between the AUDIO OUT connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio input connectors on the TV.
●Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will ensure that you can record one show while watching another.
D Perform Plug&Play setup
Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.
ATTENTION:
●If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately ( pg. 6 – 7).
●Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not receive the Auto clock setting data from a PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be
necessary to perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set” ( pg. 6) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 6).
During Initial Auto Clock Set
“Aut” blinks.
During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.
Plug&Play Completed
The current time is displayed.
What to do if Plug&Play setting failed
●If an incorrect time is displayed on the display panel, perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set” ( pg. 6) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 6).
●If “–:– –” appears on the display panel, ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug&Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug&Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected
correctly, perform the procedure in “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 6) and “Auto Channel Set” ( pg. 7) or “Manual Channel Set” ( pg. 7).
E Set VCR channel
The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF connection. Press POWER 1 to turn off the VCR, then press STOP/EJECT (0) on the VCR for more than 5 seconds. “CH3” appears on the display panel. Press CH+/– on the Remote to select “CH3”, “CH4” or “CH–”(OFF), then press OK.
●The VCR channel is preset to “CH3”. Set to “CH4” if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area.
F Final preparation for use
Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode) on the TV. You can now perform basic playback or basic recording.
●If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF connection, press TV/VCR on the Remote so that the VCR mode indicator lights on the display panel.
