SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTIONS ON THIS UNIT
FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN
MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON IT. LET THE
UNIT STAND WITH POWER ON (SEE BELOW).
■ WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, 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 warm place.
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid
conditions.
■ WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDI-
TIONS,
"DEW" appears on the screen and all the function
buttons except the EJECT button (or the STOP/
EJECT button on the unit) are made non-operational
to protect the video heads. In this case, eject the
video cassette, leave the unit turned on and let it
remain at room temperature until moisture condensation disappears. Depending on the surrounding
conditions, this may take two or three hours.
LOCA TION AND HANDLE
• 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 one hour and plug it back in.
The unit should return to normal operation.
• Avoid extreme heat or cold (41˚F/5˚C-104˚F/40˚C).
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference (e.g. speakers,
etc). Doing so may cause erratic operation of the unit
including picture and/or sound distortion or noise.
• Avoid extreme moisture and dust.
• The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not
block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering
the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.
• 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 forced air to remove dust.
• Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a
horizontal (flat) position only.
• Keep the unit away from flower vases, sinks, etc.
If liquids should be spilled into the unit, serious damage
will result. If you spill any liquids into the unit, unplug the
AC power cord immediately and consult qualified
service personnel before attempting to use it again.
• When you finish operating the unit, always unload the
cassette and turn off the power.
• When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the
AC power cord.
• To protect the unit from a lightning storm, unplug the
AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna.
INSTALL THE TV/VCR IN YOUR CAR
• For a car equipped with air bags, be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions whenever performing any
electrical wiring work. Incorrect wiring can cause the air
bag system of a car to malfunction.
• Never cut the insulation from the power supply lead in
an attempt to draw power for another device.
Doing so can overload the current capacity of the
lead, creating the danger of fire and electric shock.
• For proper installation and wiring, special technical
knowledge is required. If you have any doubts about
where to position or how to install components,
contact the retailer where you purchased the product,
your automobile dealership, or an automotive service
provider. Note that you will be charged separately for
installation work.
• Use all of the components that come with this product
only as directed. Improper use of components can
damage interior components or result in improper
anchoring of components, which creates the danger of
accident and personal injury.
• Improper installation creates the danger of fire and
accident.
• Take care so wires are not pinched between chassis
parts, by screws, or by the seat as it slides on its rails,
etc. Such conditions can cut wires and cause shorts,
creating the danger of accident, electric shock, and fire.
• Avoid installation in areas subject to strong vibration
and areas where secure anchoring cannot be
achieved. Components installed in such areas can
work loose, creating the danger of accident and
personal injury.
• Never install the TV/VCR on the dashboard or in any
other location where it obstructs forward vision.
• Never attach the stand to the roof of your car. Doing
so creates the danger of the TV/VCR falling down.
• Never attach the stand to a sharply angled surface or to
a surface that causes the TV/VCR to face downwards.
Such installation can cause the TV/VCR to fall.
• Be sure to turn the ignition key of the car to the “OFF”
position before connecting or disconnecting wires and
cables. Failure to do so creates the danger of electric
shock and personal injury.

TO USE DC POWER
By using the DC car cord supplied with the TV/VCR, you
can operate this TV/VCR from a cigarette lighter socket
in any car that utilizes a negative ground system.
The fused 12V DC car cord has been designed to power
the set from the external DC power (12 volt negative
ground) through the TV/VCR DC input jack.
Connect the smaller plug on the end of the cord to the
DC input jack on the rear of the TV/VCR, then insert the
other end of the car cord into the cigarette lighter socket
of your car. Make sure that the cord makes a firm
connection.
It may be necessary to try several insertions, rotating
the plug for proper electrical connection.

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.
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 to 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, connect the output jack
of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connections shown below. Set the
TV/VCR to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to select 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/B 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/

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on
the screen in English or another language (depending
on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on
Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer
can follow the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in
foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words
that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the
screen with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in
effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a
break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the
signal is received again. If the channels are changed,
the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).

RECEPTION DISTURBANCES
Most types of television interference can be remedied
by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for
best results. The most common types of television
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms
appear when the TV/VCR is connected to a Cable TV
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local
Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks
may appear, the picture may
flutter or drift. Usually caused by
interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps or
AC powered tools and
appliances such as drills or hair
dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the
television signal following two
paths. One is the direct path and
the other is reflected by tall
buildings, hills or other large
objects. Changing the direction
or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/VCR
from the AC power sources before cleaning.
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap
and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
ENGLISH
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR
reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be
clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily
be determined if, during playback of a known good tape,
there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head
cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.
SNOW
If the TV/VCR is located far from
the TV station, in a fringe
reception area where the signal
is weak, small dots may appear
in the picture. If the signal is
extremely weak, the installation
of a larger external antenna may
be necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
(RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this
type of interference produces
moving ripples or diagonal
streaks in the picture. Some
cases may cause a loss of
contrast in the picture. Changing
the direction and position of the
antenna or installing an RFI filter
may improve the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION
A slight picture size variation is
normal when you adjust the
CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS
settings.
Good PictureSnowy Picture
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback
picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads
are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality
or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a
equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet)
head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally.
If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does
not improve the picture, play it several times before
requesting service.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
NOTES: • Video heads may eventually wear out and
should be replaced when they fail to produce
clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use
only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn
out tapes.
