ImportantSafeguardsandPrecautions
[ INTRODUCTION
Careful attention has been given to this Video product to assure
a quality standard devoted to your safety and enjoyment. This
quality standard together with your personal responsibility for
the safety of yourself and others, will contribute to your
enjoyment. This Video product uses electrical energy and
requires proper handling at all times.
ICAUTION I
READAND RETAIN THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To make full use of the safeguards incorporated in this unit, read
and follow this basic guide, adopted in part from Underwriter's
Laboratories Standard 1409, Second Edition, before operating
this Video product.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND BE SURE TO HEED ALL
WARNINGS on unit and in the manual, for easy maintenance,
proper and trouble free operation of this Video product.
IINsTALLAnON I
1. OPERATE FROM A POWER SOURCE INDICATED on this
Video product, or in this Manual. Your Electric Utility Service
Company or Video Products Dealer will be happy to verify
the power source in your home.
2. THE GROUNDED OR POLARIZEDPLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE
Z_ This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug or a 3- wire grounding type plug. The two
wire polarized plug (having one blade wider than the other)
will fit into the power outlet only one way. If it is a three wire
grounding type plug (having a third pin), it will fit into a
grounding type outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OFTHE GROUNDED
OR POLARIZED PLUG by tampering with it. If the plug does
not fit fully into the socket, try reversing it. If you should still
be unable to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may
find that a proper outlet is needed to meet today's Electrical
Standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safely.
3. POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and
routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on
Ak
them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or
abuse: particularly at plug-ins, convenience receptacles, or
cord exit points from the unit. Where an extension is
needed, use a grounded or polarized cord.
HAZARDOUS FRAYED CORDS OR DAMAGED PLUGS
SHOULD BE REPLACED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
OVERLOADED WALL OUTLETS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PRESENT DANGEROUS RISKS OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
4. AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION HOLES
Z_ Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to
release heat generated during operation. Blocking these
opening can cause heat build-up inside the unit, causing
failure that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
cassettes. For protection:
a. Never cover the bottom ventilation slots or the unit with
soft material, or operate the unit placed on a bed, sofa,
rug, or soft accessory.
b. Avoid built-in installations, such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided.
5. AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN
CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE such as placing the unit
Z_ near or over a radiator, in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or
transporting it suddenly between areas
of extreme temperature variation.
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold
place to a warm place, moisture may
form on the tape and inside the unit.
6. TO AVOID INJURY TO A CHILD, ADULT;
,L OR COSTLY DAMAGE:
/,A
a. Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface
or any heavy object or unit.
(Use the unit in a horizontal position and do not place
anything heavy on it.)
b. Support for the unit should be adequately firm, level, and
strong. Replace any unstable cart, table or support. An
appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
c. Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the
manufacturer's recommended accessories when
operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.

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.
2. ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER
SOURCES, OR CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY INSTALLER
Z_An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be
reached by power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it
will never contact these power sources if it falls. Installer should use
extreme care to avoid possible fatal contact by touching power lines,
circuits or other power sources when installing an outside antenna.
IUSE
AFTER STORING OR WHEN MOVING THE UNIT, REFER TO THE
INSTALLATION SECTION OF THE SAFEGUARDS.
Z_. DO NOT USE THIS VIDEO UNIT NEAR WATER: around bathtubs,
sinks, laundry, wet basement, swimming pool or any water source.
/_. USE ACCESSORIES RECOMMENDED ONLY BY THE
MANUFACTURER to avoid risk of fire, shock or other hazards.
3. UNPLUG ALL EQUIPMENT EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
Z_ STRONG IMPACT AND GET A QUALIFIED INSPECTION
If your unit has been exposed to rain, water, excessive moisture, or
subjected to strong impact, unplug it and have it inspected by a
service technician before use.
UNPLUG UNUSED UNIT, AND ALL EQUIPMENT DURING A STORM
During a lightning storm, when indoors or outdoors, or before
leaving unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect all
equipment from power source, antenna and cable system.
UNPLUG ALL EQUIPMENT BEFORE CLEANING. After unit has
been unplugged use a dry, clean, chemically untreated cloth. Use
no cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or
soak into the unit, and cause electrical shock. Any substance such
as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may affect the cabinet surface.
Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may affect internal parts.
WHEN PLUGGED-IN: KEEP WATER AWAY; NO FINGERS
INSIDE NOR ANY OBJECTS INSIDE; AND NO MAGNETS OR
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE NEARBY.
a. Never operate the unit if liquid has been spilled into it.
Immediately unplug the unit, and have it inspected by a service
technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from electrical
shorts caused by liquid contact inside.
b. Caution the children about dropping or pushing objects into the
unit. Some parts inside carry hazardous voltages and contact can
cause electric shock. Objects dropped in electrical equipment can
cause fire hazards.
c. Separate the unit from any interference causing appliances.
Placing the unit directly above or below your TV set may cause
electrical interference. Keep all magnets away from electronic
equipment.
