J^Important Safeguards and Precautions

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT
INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from a power source indicated on the unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power source in your home.
2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As a safety feature, this Video product comes with either a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
POLARIZEtmUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll over them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also has either a polarized or grounded plug and that the cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified service technician. Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause failures that may result
in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.
For protection, follow these rules: a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in use,
or operate the unit when placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater or
regulator, in direct sunlight, inside a closed vehicle, etc..
Do not move the unit suddenly between areas of
extreme temperature variation. If the unit is suddenly
moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture
may condense in the unit and on the tape.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface.
• Support for the unit should be firm, level, and adequately strong.
• 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,
• Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the manufacturer's recommended accessories when operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.
I OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION 7 □
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, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information with respect to proper grounding of the 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.
GROUND CL AllPS
POWER SERVICE GROUNOtNQ ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC APT 250, PART Hj
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.
USING THE VIDEO UNIT
If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1 KEEP THIS VIDEO UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR
MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.
2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by a qualified
service technician before use.
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM
During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the
power source as well as the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE if liquid has been spilled into the unit. 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.
• Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can cause electric shock or fire hazard.
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set as this may cause electrical interference. Keep all magnets away from electronic equipment.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING THE UNIT
Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into the unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.
SERVICE
DO NOT SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF
If, after carefully following the detailed operating instructions, this Video product does not operate properly, do not attempt to open or remove covers, or make any adjustments not described in the manual. Unplug the unit and contact a qualified service technician.
IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified by the manufacturer, or those having the same safety characteristics as the original parts. The use of unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
HAVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK
After any service or repairs to the unit, request the service technician to conduct a thorough safety check as described in the manufacture's service literature to insure that the video unit is in safe operating condition.

Buiid-in Head Cieaner
A clean video head helps produce a clear 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 performed 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 at right while playing back a recorded signal. 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.
• Cleaning cassette part No. NV-TCL30PT is
recommended.

Power
No power...
Recording & Playback

Timer recording cannot be performed...
There is no playback picture, or the playback picture is noisy or contains streaks..
Special effects playback, picture may contain some vertical jitter when using a TV with an Automatic Vertical Hold Control...

Correction
• Check connections between VCR, external antenna, and your TV.
• Make sure your antenna system (CATV or TV) is connected correctly. (To Replace Channels in Memory [P.17])
• Make sure that the record tab is intact on the cassette. (P.5)
• Set the recording start/stop times correctly. (P.22)
• Make sure that the POWER button is set to OFF. (P.22)
• Timer recording may not be performed or continued if a power interruption of more than 1 minute occurs before or during, a
Timer Recording, even if power resumes thereafter.
• Select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to match the Channel 3/4 switch
located on the rear panel of the VCR. (P.6)
• Set the VCR/TV selector to “VCR.”
• Check that channel 3 or 4 of the TV is properly adjusted.
• Adjust the TRACKING control in either direction. (P.19)
• Set the TV’s Vertical Hold Control to “MANUAL" and then adjust it.
• Make sure that VCR LOCK is set to off. (P.27)
Remote Control
VCR cannot be remote controlled...
The MENU and PROG buttons can’t be used.
Miscellaneous
Programs cannot be viewed on TV...
Video cassette cannot be inserted...
Video cassette cannot be removed...
Video cassette ejects when a recording is started or the power is turned off for timer recording...
In Stop mode, the motor (CYLINDER) continues
to rotate...
The top of the playback picture waves back and forth excessively...
Correction
• Aim the Remote Control directly at the remote sensor on the VCR. (P.10)
• Avoid all obstacles which may interfere with the signal path.
• Inspect the remote batteries for possible replacement. (P.4)
• Make sure that VCR LOCK is set to off. (P.27)
• Exposing the VCR remote sensor to direct fluorescent or outdoor light may cause signal interference.
• Push the VCR button to select VCR mode. (P.33)
Correction
• Set the VCR/TV selector to "TV." (P.20)
• Insert cassette with window side up and the record tab facing you.
• Completely insert the Power Plug into an AC wall outlet.
• Make sure the record tab is intact on the cassette. (P.5)
• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for
about 5 minutes. This reduces response time from Stop to Play mode from Play to Rewind Search mode.
• Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an off-the-air
TV signal, the top of your TV screen may be bent or unstable during playback. To solve this problem, slowly turn the horizontal hold control on your TV to correct the wavy picture. If your TV does not have a horizontal hold control or adjusting the control does not help, please contact your local TV service center.
If you cannot resolve your problem, please call the Customer Satisfaction Center for product assistance at 201-348-9090.
To locate an authorized servicenter, please call toll free 1-800-545-2672.
