INSTALLATION
1.
OPERATE FROM A POWER SOURCE INDICATED on this
Video product, or in this Manual. Your Electric Utility Service
A
Company or Video Products Dealer will be happy to verify
the power source in your home.
THE GROUNDED OR POLARIZED PLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE
2.
This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug or a 3- wire grounding type plug. The two
A
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 OF THE 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 wilt replace your outlet safely.
3.
POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and
routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on
them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or
A
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
Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to
A
release heat generated dunng 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
near or over a radiator, in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or
A
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;
OR COSTLY DAMAGE:
A
a. Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface
or any heavy object or unit.

anything heavy on H.)
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 operaWng instructions and use the
manufacturer’s recommended accessories when
operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.

Clogged Video Heads
While your VCR will not normally require head cleaning,
however the heads may become clogged when playing
an old or damaged tape. If the image on your screen
resembles the illustration on the left or the screen
becomes solid blue when playing back a pre-recorded
signal on the tape, the heads probably require cleaning.
Cleaning the Heads
It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by
a qualified service technician. Please contact your
nearest Panasonic Service Center. An alternate
solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. Be sure
to follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive
use of a cleaning cassette could shorten head life.
Use this cassette only when symptoms occur.

The most commonly asked questions about COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ are answered below.
Question
How fast does the VCR advance through
commercials?
Are commercials advanced through only when 1
playback a recording?
Are commercials still recorded on the tape in
case 1 choose to view them sometime?
Does COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ work in all
recording speeds?
Does the VCR advance through commercials each
time 1 playback tapes which were recorded using
COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ ?
After marking commercials, does the VCR stop at
the end of the tape, or rewind to the beginning?
Answer
The VCR advances through a 3-minute commercial
block in about 8 to 12 seconds if the tape speed is SLP.
In SP, it takes about 25 to 35 seconds.
Yes. The commercials are not marked until after the
recording is finished.
Yes. By setting the C/A PLAYBACK to MANU(al),
see page 22, you can view or advance through
commercials as desired.
Yes. COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ works in SP, LP.
and SLP.
Yes. As long as C/A PLAYBACK is set to AUTO, see
page 22, the VCR should advance through
commercials each time the tape is played back.
The tape stops at the end of the recording so that any
additional timer recordings can be performed.
Can 1 play my COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™
recordings in non-COMMERClAL ADVANCE™
VCRs?
Does the marking process interfere with other
programmed recordings?
What happens if 1 cancel the marking in progress
so 1 can use the VCR?
What if part of my program is advanced through
along with the commercials?
Yes. COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ marked recordings
will play in non-COMMERCIAL ADVANCE™ VCRs,
but commercials will not be advanced through.
No. If the interval between 2 or more timer programs
is not sufficient to mark the recording, marking will be
done after all recordings are complete and the power

turned off as long as the tape has not been ejected.
Rewind the tape to where the program should have
started, and push PLAY to view the program.
Additional Notes:
• Because of the various ways in which commercials are broadcast, the VCR may not be able to recognize all
commercials.
* If a timer recording is scheduled for the middle of the night, please be aware that the VCR will make some
noise as it rewinds and fast fonwards the tape while marking commercials.

VCR Plus+ Set Up
This setup is for VCR Plus+ and tinner
programming only.
VCR Plus+ programming allows you to set most items of a timer recording by simply entering a special code found in TV GUIDE
magazine as well as the TV listings in selected newspapers. In order for the VCR to read this special code, some set up is required.
A Guide {VCR Plus+) channel number is assigned to each local broadcast and cable station. Because this number sometimes
differs from the channel your TV receives the station on, it is necessary to program the VCR with local channel information.
