14.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 (U.S.A),
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 conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding
electrode. (See figure 1 on the right.)

15.Lightning

For added protection for this product
(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 product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

16.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.

17.Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not attempt to service this product
yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all

outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following
conditions:
a. If 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

the cabinet has been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

21.Replacement Parts

be able to enjoy stereo sound when playing a stereo video tape or stereo TV reception.

When a TV is connected
with a coaxial cable only

When the TV is connected
to the OUT TO TV using a
supplied coaxial cable only,
set the channel selector at
the rear to CH 3 or CH 4,
not employed for
broadcasts, and select the
same channel on the TV.

When a TV is connected
with an audio/video cable

When the TV is connected
using an audio/video cable,
turn the TV and VCR on,

Troubleshooting

Check list

If the unit does not seem to operate properly, read the instructions again, then check the table below.

Video Head Cleaning

Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from your VCR the video head is automatically cleaned.

This should mean that additional head cleaning should not be necessary. However dirt accumulating on the head

after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken up. High quality video

cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes might.

Cassette cannot be inserted.

• Load cassette in direction indicated by arrow on cassette.

• A cassette is already in the VCR.

• Check if display window is lit. If not, make sure power cord is
plugged in.

• If the indicator flashes, press POWER again.

No picture appears on TV screen.

• Set the television to the same channel selected on the RF
Channel Select Switch. (CH3 or CH4).

The playback picture is noisy.

• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel or video
input.

• Adjust the tracking manually when the tape quality is poor.

• Although the unit cleans the video heads automatically, dirt
may be accumulated after a long period of use. Clean the
video heads with a commercially available video heads
cleaning tape.

• Make sure all the connections with the VCR are made
correctly and securely.

TV reception is noisy or there is no TV reception.

• Connect the VCR to the antenna and TV correctly and
securely.

• Move the VCR away from the TV set.

No picture, but audio is clear.

• The heads may require cleaning.

MOISTURE

CONDENSATION

If you pour a cold

liquid into a glass,

water vapor in the air will
condense on the surface
of the glass. This is
moisture condensation.
Moisture condensation on
the head drum, one of the
most crucial parts of the
unit, will cause damage to
the tape.
When the VCR is exposed
to a rapid temperature
change from cold to warm,
some condensation will
occur. Under this condition,
connect the power cord to
the AC line, turn on the
VCR and allow at least two
hours for the VCR to dry
out.
