CONNECTIONS

Before using your TV/VCR for the first time, read
through this entire section to determine which
connections best meet y our ne eds . Then follow
the directions for completing the connections.

You can connect many different types of

Note:

audio/video systems such as a stereo receiver/
amplifier, a satellite receiver, or a combination
of a cable sy stem and out s i d e anten na to y our
TV/VCR. These connections might require ad­ditional supplies that are available from your lo­cal RadioShack store.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location for your TV/VCR where:

• Air flows freely on all sides of the TV/VCR.

• The power cord is not in the way of normal
traffic .

CONNECTING THE SIGNAL
SOURCE

You can connect ei ther an outdoor antenn a or
the cable from your cable service provider.

Connecting an Outdoor Antenna

Connect the antenna to the
the back of the TV/VCR. If you do not have a TV
antenna yet, use a high-quality outdoor anten­na, available at your local RadioShack store.

• If the antenna us es 75-ohm coaxial cable,
connect the antenna’s cable direct ly to the

• If you have separate VHF and UHF anten­nas, connect the antenna cables to a split­ter/combiner (such as RadioShack Cat. No.
15-1296). Then connect the splitter/com­biner’s output to the

VHF/UHF

terminal.

Refer to your antenna’s installation instructions
for additional information.

Connecting to a Cable System

Note to the CATV system installer :

This reminder is provided to ca ll the CA TV sys­tem installer’s attention to Article 820-4 0 of the
National Electrical Code that provides guide­lines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connect­ed to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Caution:

rect connections to cable wires (connections
that do not go through the cable box). Check the
laws in your area before making any connec­tions.

To receive cable channels, conn ect your local
cable system to the TV/VCR as follows.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL
DEVICE

You can connect another audio/video device
that has audio/video outputs, such as a V CR,
camcorder, or satellite receiver, to the TV/VCR
so you can view the source’s output on the TV/
VCR.

Note: Always use video-quality shielded cables
with phono connectors. Do not use standard au­dio patch cords.

To connect an audio/video device’s outputs to
the TV/VCR, connect the device’s video and au­dio outputs to the corresponding

Your TV/VCR can receive up to 125 cable chan­nels, displayed as 1_125. Channels 2-13 are the
same for VHF and c ab le T V , and c ab le com pa­nies usually number them as they appear on the
TV screen. For other channels, the c able ser­vice’s channel designations might not match the
channel numbers that appear on the TV screen.

For more information, contact your cable com­pany. You might need to e xp eriment to deter­mine the proper cable channel des ignations for
your cable system.

CONNECTING POWER

When you have completed all other connec­tions, plug the TV/VCR’s power cord into a stan­dard AC outlet.

Warning: For your protection, the power cord
has a polarized plug. To prevent blade expo­sure, be sure the blades fit fully and easily into
the outlet. If you do not have a polarized out let,
have a qualified electrician install one before
you use the TV/VCR.

Note: When you plug in the TV/VCR within 24
hours after a power failure, the TV/VCR starts to
search for a channel that uses an Extended
Data Service (EDS) signal (see “Setting the On­Screen Language/Channels/Clock” on Page

12).

SETUP

FRONT PANEL

The buttons on the TV/VCR’s front panel control
the TV and the VCR.

REMOTE CONTROL

Installing Batteries

The remote control requires two AA batteries
(not supplied). For the longest operation and
best performance, we recommend alkaline bat ­teries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557).

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and type.

• Never leave dead batteries in the remote
control. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can damage electronic circuits.

• Dispose of dead batteries promptly and
properly; do not bury or burn them.

1. Press down on the battery compartment
cover’s tab and lift off the cover.

All the remote control’s buttons have the same
functions as the buttons o n the TV/VCR’s front
panel. In addition, the number buttons let you di­rectly select channels and menu options and
settings, program, sleep and on timers, and
more.

RECORDING

GENERAL INFORMATION

You can use the following methods to record
with your TV/VCR.

• Immediate recording

• Quick timer recording

• Automatic timer recording

• Dubbing

Notes:

• Your TV/VCR automatically records the
audio signal and adjusts the sound level
while it records.

• The video tap e you use for recording must
have the erase-protection tab in place. If
the tab is removed, the TV/VC R automati­cally ejects the tape if you try to record on it
(see “Erase Protection”).

• You cannot use the TV/VCR to record one
program while you watch another.

• If you want to record from a VCR or other
audio/video source with A/V outputs, see
“Dubbing (Copying) a Tape” on Page 30.

Tape Selection

The quality of tape you use greatly affects
record/playback quality an d the life of the TV/
VCR. High-grade tape has a better oxide coat­ing that helps prevent dirty video heads and
gives the best results. Use only video cassettes
that display the official logo.

Although T-160 video cassettes offer the long­est recording time, they contain thinner tape that
is more likely to jam. We suggest you use T-120
or shorter length tape.

The following chart shows the maximum record­ing times for different-length tapes at the three
recording speeds.

Recording Speeds

There are three VHS recording speeds: SP
(standard play), LP (long play), and SLP (super
long play).

SP (standard play) is the fastest recording
speed and results in the highest quality picture,
but uses the most tape.

LP (long play) records m ore slowl y th an SP bu t
more quickly than SLP. LP provides a better
quality picture than SLP and uses less tape than
SP.

SLP (super long play) records more s lowly and
uses less tape, but the pictu re quality is not as
high as with a recording made at the SP speed.

The TV/VCR plays back tapes at the

Note:

speed in which they were recorded.

26

Erase Protection

Video cassettes have an erase-protection tab to
prevent accidental erasure. To prevent record­ing on a tap e, break off the tab using a screw­driver. The cassette automatically ejects if you
try to record on the tape.

If you want to record on a video cass ette that
has had its tab removed, put a piece o f heavy
plas tic tape over the erase-protectio n tab ho le.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus Model 29 13” Color TV with Built­In VHS VCR/Model 30 20” Color TV with Built- In
VHS VCR is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your TV/VCR so you can enjoy
it for years.

Keep the TV/VCR dry. If it gets
wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq­uids can contain minerals that
corrode electronic circuits.

Use and store the TV/VCR only
in normal temperature environ­ments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and
distort or melt plastic parts.

Use only fresh batteries of the
recommended size and type in
the remote control. Always re­move old or weak batteries. They
can leak chemicals that can dam­age electronic circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the TV/VCR’s inter­nal components can cause a malfunction and
might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it. If your TV/VCR is not
performing as it should, take it to your local R a­dioShack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

Your TV/VCR m ight cause TV or radio interfer­ence even when it is operating prope rly. To de­termine whether your TV/VCR is causing the
interference, turn off your TV/VCR. If the inter­ference goes away, your TV/VCR is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:

• Moving your TV/VCR away from the
receiver

• Connecting your TV/VCR to an out let that
is on a different electrical circuit from the
receiver

• Contacting your local RadioShack store for
help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your TV/VCR.

34

Handle the TV/VCR gently and
carefully. Dropping it can dam­age circuit boards and cases,
and cause it to work improperly.

Keep the TV/VCR away from
dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.

CLEANER

Wipe the TV/VCR with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it look­ing new. Do not use harsh chem­icals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean it.

MEMORY

You can clear all settings from the TV/VCR’s
memory at once. This is handy if you want to
load new channels into the TV/VCR’s memory.

To re set th e TV/V CR’s memo ry, ej ect th e cas­sette tape (if loaded), then press and hold down

16-421.fm Page 35 Tuesday, July 20, 1999 12:01 PM

CLEANING THE VIDEO HEADS

Dirty video heads cause the playback picture to blur, even if the recorded signal is clear. However,
video head cleaning is a delicate operation that requires a trained technician. For more head cleaning
information, contact your local RadioShack store.

Have the video heads cleaned only when picture quality is affected.

DEGAUSSING

Your TV/VCR has an automatic degaussing circuit. The circuit functions each time you turn the pow­er off. However, strong magnetism from nearby appliances might a f f e c t t h e TV/VCR ’s p icture . If
this happens, turn the power off for 1 minute, then turn it back on. If the TV/VCR’s picture is still
affected, move the TV/VCR away from the appliance.

35

16-421.fm Page 36 Tuesday, July 20, 1999 12:01 PM

STORING VI DEO CASSETTES

Unless you are making a timer recording, eject and store the cassette when you finish using it.
This helps protect the cassette and the TV/VCR’s internal mechanisms from dust.

Place your video cassettes in their protective boxes and store them in a cool, dry, dust-free environ­ment. Store the cassettes on end, not on their sides. This prevents improper settling of the cassette’s
spools.

Tape can become wound too tightly around the cassette’s spools after you play a tape several times.
This can cause t he cas set te to im properl y load and automatically ejec t when you insert it. O n m ost
cassettes there is a brake-release plunger on the bottom center of the cassette. Use the tip of a pen
or pencil to press the plunger. This loosens the tape.
