■ WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?

Wven a cold liquid is poured into a giass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation. .

■ MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;

• When you move the unit from a cold to a wann place.

• After heating a coid room or under extremely humid conditions.

■ WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, set the POWER switch to ON and leave the unit at room tentpeiature until moislure condensation disappears,

Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.

If you cause a static discharge when touching the unit, and the unit fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. The unit should return to normal operation.

Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference (e.g. speakers, etc). Doing so may cause erratic operation

0# the unit irxdixjing picture and/or sound distortion or

noise.

Weo Tape

Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the cassette loading slot Do not spray cleaner or wax directly on the unit or use forc^ air to remove dust

Keep the unit away from flower vases, sinks, etc. If liquids should be spilled info the unit, serious damage will result, if you spill any liquids into №e unit, unplug the AC power cord Immediately and consult qualified service personnel before attempting to use it again.

When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the AC power cord.

Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a horizontal (flat) position only.

When you finish operating the unit, always unload

the cassette and turn off the power.

To protect the unit from a lightning storm, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.

If your combination VHF/UHF antenna has a 300 ohm

twin-lead wire, the use of the 300-75 ohm matching transformer may be necessary.

The precautions below should be followed when using batteries in this device:

1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

2. Be sure to follow the correct pdarity when installihg №e batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.

Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

3. Do not mix different types of batteries trrgedrer (e.g. Atkaline and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries witti fresh

ones.

4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury

from possible battery leakage.

5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged: they can overheat and rupture. (Follow

battery manufacturer’s directions.)

When there is an obstacle between the TV/VCR and the transmitter, the transmitter may not operate.

' When direct sunlight, an incandescent lamp, fluorescent tamp or any other strong light shines on the

Remote sensor of the TV/VCR, the remote operation may be unstable.

CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

This TV/VCR has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these

signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

SETTING LANGUAGE

This TV/VCR can display the on screen language in English, Spanish or French.

Language selection {step 3) will automatically appear on the screen when you press the MENU button

initially. Select language to use the other menu options.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly Ic the antenna jack

on the back of the TV/VCR.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, conned the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connedions shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use die converter/ descrambler box to seled channels.

If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/6 switch box (available from the

Cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B"

position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/VCR. With the switch in the “A” position, tune

your TV/VCR to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/ descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
