Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning: Any
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the user’s
authority to operate it.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic­ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Magnavox recommends you use only video cassette tapes that have the

mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality and excessive
deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover if damage
occurs.
This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with exist­ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable
TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical
Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, speci­fying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
