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 Eiectric 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 witii either 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 outiet 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 wifti the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

This plug will only fit into a Uiree-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 CORO

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.

• Do not place this unit on any support that is not firm, level, and adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.

• 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.

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 pr^er 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.

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 leawng the unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect alt 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 interrral 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 rrrar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.

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 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,

Cleaning cassette part No. NV-TCL30PT is recommended.
