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.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug wilt 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.
• 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.
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

(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.
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS

Introduction about D-VHS
ABOUT D-VHS
The “D" in D-VHS represents Digital Data. As this name suggests, D-VHS is an extension of the world’s
most popular VHS home video format, which adds new digital recording (storage) capabilities that make it
an ideal match for digital broadcasts.
Like VHS, D-VHS is a tape-based format. Unlike VHS, D-VHS records digital signals as a digital bit streamj
(data) which is compatible with the MPEG II and ATSC standards utilized by your broadcast system.
Since digital data is stored “as is”, there is no loss of quality compared to the original broadcast.
And since you will want to continue enjoying all of the regular VHS tapes you’ve recorded or accumulated,
the D-VHS also offers conventional analog (VHS) recording and playback in addition to digital.
The relationship between type of broadcast, cassette D-VHS Switch, and resulting recording is as follows:
