Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified senrice technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and should be avoided.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION if an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the equipment,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage surges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSt/NFPA 70
(in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information with respect to proper grourxling of the mast and supporting stmcture, 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.
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines, electric light or power circuits and where It will never come into contact with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards Involved,'antenna installation should be left to a professional.

Build-in Head Cleaner
A clean video head helps produce a dear picture. So, we have equipped your VCR with a built-in, non
chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is perfoimed each time you load or unload a video cassette.
Note: This feature is preventative only. If your video heads are seriously clogged, consider the use of a chemical nonabrasive head cleaning kit or take your VCR to a Service Center.
Head Cleaning
Your VCR will not normally require head cleaning, however, the heads may become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape.
Video Heads Sensor System
If head cleaning becomes necessary, the VCR will display the screen shown to the right while playing back a Video Tape. To exit this screen, push PLAY on the remote control or VCR.
■ Use “dry" type head cleaning cassette* only.
*Be sure to follow the cleaning tape instructions carefully. Excessive use of a cleaning cassette can shorten head life.
*If using a head cleaning cassette does not solve the problem, contact your nearest Factory Service Center or authorized Service Center. (See page 36.)
*Cleaning cassette part No. NV-TCL30PT is recommended.
D.S.T. (Daylight Saving Time)
Your VCR can be set to automatically adjust the clock for
Daylight Saving Time. {Page 13.)
Spring (First Sunday in April)
When set to DSTiON, the VCR will automatically set the clock ahead one hour.
Autumn (Last Sunday in October)
When set to DST:ON, the VCR will automatically set the clock back one hour,
•If your area does not observe Daylight Saving Time, select DST:OFF.
•Keep these time changes in mind when programming the VCR for timer recordings.
