|yt\ 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 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 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. It 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 instnjctions 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, ANSl/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.

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, extrema 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.

In order for the Combination VCR to read the VCR Plus+ code, some setup is required. A Guide (VCR Plus+) channel number is assigned to each local broadcast and cable station. Because this number sometimes differs from the channel your TV receives the station on, it is necessary to program the Combination VCR with local channel information.

VCR Plus+ Channel Setup

Preparations below left.

Important Note:

If your Combination VCR Connection type changes, from

This list will help you smoothly enter the information needed in step “d” at right.

You will need the following to complete the list:

• A line up of normal and/or cable stations you

receive along with the channel numbers your TV receives them on. A cable channel line-up chart is supplied by your cable company.

• A list of Guide (VCR Plus-r) channel numbers

assigned to the stations you receive. This list is available in TV Guide and the TV listings found in selected newspapers.

1 Make a chart with 3 columns like the example

below. In the left column, fill in the name or call letters of the stations you receive.

2 In the middle column, fill in each station's
