a polarized power cord plug (one blade Is wider than the
other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

POLARIZED PLUG 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 PLUGOAUJIQN:

This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet. If
necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do

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, агк1 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.

size ot grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection
to grourKling 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 fram 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 ot the

hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.

• Make sure that the POWER button is set to OFF. (P.18)

• Timer recording may not be performed or continued if a power
interruption of more than 1 minute occurs before or during, a

• 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 property tuned in.

• Adjust the TRACKING control in either direction. (P.15)

• Set the TV's Vertical Hold Control to “MANUAL” and then adjust it.
