5. Cleaning-Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause

hazards.

7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this product near water-for example near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen

sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories-Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. Cart Usage-A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation

of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources-This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization-This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a

plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection-Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding-If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information with regard 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.

15. Lightning-For added protection for this product during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or

other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Page 4

18. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19 Servicing-Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you

to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20 Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product. c If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. f When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to per-

form safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

23. Heat-The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Worldwide VCR Background

“Worldwide Communication through VCR”

Today, the Video Recorder is a major media and communication tool, used for both business and home entertainment. Furthermore, the emergence of the camcorder has extended the versatility of video enabling home video making.

Video communication is increasingly becoming a global medium, but different TV broadcasting systems around the world hinder the worldwide exchange of video tapes.

The Samsung SV-5000W overcomes the incompatibility of different TV broadcasting systems through sophisticated digital technology, allowing any standard VHS tape to be played on any TV, anywhere in the world (with free voltage).

Worldwide TV Color System

Many countries have different TV signal formats, with no exchangeability between them. This makes it impossible to play back or record tapes with different signal formats. This worldwide common VCR overcomes this problem by converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire.

ANY TV

NTSC PAL SECAM

The Worldwide VCR is similar to the Multi-System VCR in that it will play back tapes recorded in any TV Broadcasting System. However, there are a few key differences:

Multi-System VCR

With a Multi-System VCR:

The TV must correspond to the system of the tape being played, otherwise, a Multi-System TV is also required;

Tape duplication with system conversion (eg NTSC to PAL) is not possible.

SV-5000W Worldwide VCR

With the Worldwide VCR:

Tapes can be played on any TV monitor;

Recordings can be made in any TV Broadcasting System, even if the tape is of a different system;

Tape duplication with system conversion is possible.

One of the most useful functions of the Worldwide VCR is the combination of tape duplication and system conversion, more simply known as “Tape Conversion”. This allows the user to copy, for example, a SECAM tape and simultaneously convert it to PAL or NTSC. This is particularly useful for duplicating home video camcorder recordings and sending them to friends or relatives abroad.

Hi-Fi Audio System

Hi-Fi and linear audio

To provide true Hi-Fi audio sound with video entertainment and, at the same time, compatibility with regular VHS tapes, your VCR employs a newly-developed audio recording system.

Hi-Fi audio signals (2-channel) are recorded deep into the tape's magnetic coating and the video signal is recorded on top of the audio signals in a shallower layer. At the same time, another audio head records linear audio signals (monaural) onto the normal audio track. With the Audio Dubbing function, it is possible to erase the old monaural soundtrack and record a new one.

Tape pattern recorded with your VCR

Normal audio track Video track (surface layer of

the magnetic coating) Stereo Hi-Fi audio track (deep

Hi-Fi audio recording and reproduction are available only from the Hi-Fi audio track, while the normal audio track provides normal audio.

The Hi-Fi and normal soundtracks are recorded simultaneously and audio dubbing is applicable only to the normal audio track.
