Connect the Aerial Cable to the RF In Terminal

To obtain optimum quality picture and sound, an Aerial, the correct cable {75 Ohm coaxial) and the correct terminating plug are required.

Your local Authorised Service Centre or Dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct Aerial system for your particular area and any accessories required.

Any matters regarding Aerial installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and the costs incurred, are the responsibility of you, the Customer.

If a communal Aerial system is used, you may require the correct connection cable and plug between the wall Aerial socket and your television receiver.

When a dew condensation

phenomenon occurs, indication of “dew condensation” appears and the cassette tape is ejected, indication of “dew condensation" ceases soon.

When you want to operate the VCR,

push the “COUNTER CALL” button and wait for a while until the said indication ceases. While “dew condensation" is indicated, the VCR does not work even if you push any operation buttons, but you can watch the TV. Indication of “dew condensation” will cease within several hours at latest. Such time may differ according to circumstances. As generally dew condensation advances gradualiy, and indication of “dew condensation” may appear 10-

15 minutes after the beginning of dew

condensation.

Conditions which cause dew condensation are as follows.

It may occur if the TVA/CR and the cassette tape were moved to another place where there are great changes of temperature and humidity.

• A humid place where the air is thick

with steam.

• When the TVA/CR was suddenly

moved from an air-conditioned

room to a hot and humid place.

• The room was heated quickly. When the rotary cylinder is stained

with condensation droplets, the tape

may adhere to the rotary cylinder. It

may interfere with normal forwarding

of the tape and the tape may be

damaged.

Do not put the TV/VCR set in a place where it is exposed to the direct rays of the sun for a long time.

Do not put the TVA/CR set in a place

which is dirty or damp or near a

strongly magnetic object.

Always remove connection cable

when moving the TV/VCR. When you

carry the TV/VCR to a distant place, always wrap it in a blanket or something protective.

Do not give the TV/VCR a physical

shock while carrying it.

Do not put the TV/VCR set in a place

where it is exposed to a spotlight,

heating appliance, smoke, steam etc.

Do not block the ventilating holes.

Do not put heavy objects on the

TVA/CR.

Do not spray insecticide or volatile solvent upon the TV/VCR. Do not allow rubber and vinyl products to contact the TV/VCR for long periods. They may cause changes in quality and peeling of the paint.

Page 73

Always pull out the power plug by holding the plug itself. Do not pull the cord.

Do not open the cabinet.

• To touch the inside is extremely dangerous.

Do not bring a heating appliance close to the power cord.

Do not place heavy objects across

the power cord.

Wipe off any dirt on the cabinet and operation panel with a soft cloth.

• When you use a chemical dustcloth, read the that is supplied with it manual carefully.

• When the dirt does not come off, soak the cloth in a neutral detergent diluted with water and squeeze it dry and then wipe off the dirt. Then, wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not alter the power cord.

Do not insert anything except a video cassette tape into the insertion slot.

• Especially, take care that your child does not put his/her hand into it. He/she may get hurt.

Wipe dirt from the surface of the picture tube with a soft dry cloth.

You may feel weak electricity when you touch the surface of the picture tube. Static electricity is responsibie for it. However, it does not have a bad influence on a person.

Do not put any vessel containing

water on or near the TV set.

Do not use this set if abnormal operation occurs. Ex: Smoke, odd sounds, or smells.

Turn the power switch off and

disconnect the AC plug, if you

notice any unusual operation.

Page 74

When you suspect the TV is out of order, check the following points before requesting Service.

Refer to either the shop where the pruchase was made or the nearest Authorised Service Centre if the malfunction

cannot be corrected.

Symptoms

The power is not supplied.

The programme selected is

not displayed clearly.

Spots appear on the screen.

The picture has double or treble images.

Interference pattern appears

Checks

Is the power plug disconnected?

Is the main power switched ON?

Is the aerial connected properly?

Is the received signal weak?

Is the reception being disrupted by car, train, high tension cable, neon light interference?

Has the direction of the aerial been changed? It may change after a severe wind.

Signal reflection from surrounding mountains or building may affect on the

picture.

Such symptoms may occur when the transmitting aerial for a radio station or a ham operator is near the TV.

The channel number does not disappear from the screen.

Inferior tint, light coiour Have the Coiour and Tint been adjusted? (Check the adjustment values.)

The TV sometimes produces

a cracking sound.

The Remote Control does not work.

Is the RECALL Button pressed?

Push it again.

If the picture and sound are normal, it may probably be the sound from the cabinet which expands and contracts according to change of room temperature. This is not a malfunction.

Is the transmitter oriented toward the receiving window on the TV?

Do you operate the Remote Control within 7 m from the receiving window? (within 30° from right and left: within 5 m from the receiving window) (7 m range on axis, 5 m at 30°)

Are there any obstacles between the Remote Control and the receiving

window?

Are the batteries dead? Are the batteries fitted properly?

Is the receiving window being exposed to sunlight or strong fluorescent light?

Page 75

No colour in picture

reproduction, on tape playback.

Snowy picture on tape

playback

Flickering The digits of the tape counter

The picture sourced from on AV INPUT shakes or does not appear.

When a tape recorded by PAL

system of 3 times the normal speed is playback after fast forwarding or rewinding, the

colour tends to fade out.

The KARAOKE Mode is ON, isn’t it? Turn the KARAOKE mode OFF.

Has tracking been adjusted?

Adjust the tracking.

Are the video heads dirty?

^ Request professional Service.

Are the video heads worn out? Replace them.

Is the tape old?

Is the tape old? Is a non-recorded part of the tape being played back?

When a non-recorded part of the tape is played back, the screen becomes

blue and the tape counter does not advance.

Such symptoms may occur when the input is set to AV INPUT and no signal is received at the video input terminals.

This is caused by safety devices triggered by erroneous functioning.
