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 product comes with 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 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 or discs.

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 PLACEMENT: AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS

OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near heater or

radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles,

in high temperature [over 104°F (40°C)], or in over

75% humidity. If the unit is suddenly moved from

a cold place to a warm one, moisture may

condense in the unit and on the tape causing

damage. Never subject the unit to vibration,

impact, or place it so that the surface is titled as

internal parts may be seriously damaged.

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.

1 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.

2

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.

If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location,
refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.

1

KEEP THE 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

• Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit.

• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set

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.

Built-in Head Cleaner

A clean video head helps produce a clear
picture.
So, we have equipped your DECK 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.

• This feature is preventative only, If your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use
of a chemical non-abrasive head cleaning kit
or take your DECK to a Servicenter.

Cleaning DECK

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes
on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be
marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since
the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a non-abrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.

Digital Auto Picture

Automatically controls the video output signal for less noise depending on the tape condition.
