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 manuai.

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 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 wail 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 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

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.

NEC - NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

ANTENNA
DISCHARGE UNIT
(NEC SECTION <10-20)

GROUND CLAMPS

POWER SERVICE GROUNDING
ELECTRODE SYSTEM
(NEC ART 2S0, PART K)

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.

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 sen/ice 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.

^ GUIDE Plus+ Setup

The TV GUIDE Plus+ system allows you to browse through program line-up for each channel you receive in a
variety of methods (see below). When properly setup, broadcast data, which includes the program title,
description (if available), PlusCode, etc., is downloaded into your Combination VCR each day through a Provider

(Host) channel. Because the PlusCode is included in the broadcast data, recording the programs listed in the

line-ups is easier than ever using TV GUIDE Plus-t- and VCR Plus-t- recording (page 24~26).

NOTE:
When using this feature with a cabie box, an optional Cabie Box Controiier shouid be used. If the optional
Cable Box Controller is not used, the TV GUIDE Plus+ section should be skipped.

TV GUIDE Plus+ Setup (page 11-15)
(Must be completed before the TV GUIDE Plus+ feature can be used.)

To enable your Combination VCR to receive daily updated TV GUIDE Plus-f- data, it is

necessary to do the TV GUIDE Plus-n setup.

You will be entering your Zip or Postal code, and how your Combination VCR receives
broadcasts (e.g. via a cable box, etc.). The Combination VCR then searches for the TV
GUIDE Plus-t- data Provider (Host) channel in your area so that the program and other
information can be downloaded on a daily basis.

Daily Program GUIDE (page 16)

You can view program information, such as title, description (if available), PlusCode, etc.,
for the current broadcast of each channel you receive.

NEXT Mode (page 17)

Use this mode to browse through the program line-up of each channel you receive up to
midnight of the following day.

SCAN Mode (page 18)

Use this mode if you want to view program information of any channel for a specific time up

to midnight of the following day.

SORT Mode (page 19)

This mode allows you look up programs by category (e.g. movies, sports, etc.) for up to

8 days away.

TV GUIDE Plus+ and VCR Plus+ Programming (pages 24-26)

You can program the Combination VCR to record up to 14 programs quickly and easily
using the PlusCode provided in the program data.

FEATURE Mode (pages 20, 21)

In the future, depending on your area, you may be able to subscribe to on-line information
services to receive such information as news, weather, traffic conditions, etc..

INFO Center (pages 22, 23)

Broadcasters may provide additional information about selected programs. This information
is stored in temporary memory. You may view the information now, or store it in memory for
later access.

NOTE

Once the TV GUIDE Plus+ feature is setup, the normal VCR programming functions (using the PROG button
on the remote control) become inoperable. This is normal.
