We congratulate you to the acquisition of your Colour Télévision
with 4 band radio & cassette tape recorder which has been

manufactured using the most advanced technical knowledge

available and with most modem production and testing methods.

WARNING:

To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do

Not Expose This Appliance To Rain Or Moisture.

To prevent electrical shock, do not remove cabinet.

High Voltage are used in the operation of the set.

This set is fully transistorized and does not contain any

user serviceable components. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel.

When the set is not to be used for an extended period
of time, it is advisable to disconnect the power cord
from the power outlet.

• TV can receive the PAL/SECAM colour System.

• Sound IF circuit of TV can receive both 5.5MHz (CCIR
countries) or 6.5MHz (01 RT countries).

• Radio can receive the 4 band of SW1/SW2/MW/FM.

• Tape recorder can use whichever tape of Normal/FeCr/
Cr02.

If you follow this manual carefully, we feel sure your
service problems will be minimized. Refer to handy
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 17.

So, please take time now to read this manual. You'll
see how easy your new set is to operate — and enjoy.

/BATTERY CHECK

1. Set the ANTENNA SELECT switch (D) to the "EXT" posi¬
tion. The antenna connection is équivalent to DI N 45 325 for
combined UHF/VHF antenna ® with 75 ohm Coaxial
connections.
The antenna socket (g) is placed on the right side of your set.

2. If your présent antenna produces a clear réception of black/
white pictures, then no alterations to existing antenna are

necessary.

3. A colour picture of good quality requires a higher antenna
signal than a black/white picture. If you adjust your set to a
station with a weak colour signal, your T.V. set automatically
changes to black/white reproduction.
Connect a cable with plug © from UHF/VHF antenna to

antenna socket on right side.

The telescopic antenna for UHF/VHF/FM/SW1/SW2

which

cornes with your set is designed to perform as well as any

indoor antenna and will provide an excellent picture and
Sound in areas located near the transmitter.

For best réception, it can be adjusted to virtually any posi¬
tion by extending or collapsing and/or tilting the rods. Set
the ANTENNA SELECT switch

(B)

to the "INT" position.
Adjust the antenna by varying the length and angle of the
rods until the clearest picture and sound is obtained.

In some areas it will be necessary to use an outdoor antenna.

4. For ail antenna circuit problems please consult your local
dealer.

"Snow" or a weak picture is the resuit of either a weak signal or
a poor antenna. Reflections of signais from mountains or high
buildings will cause multiple images, "Ghosts". These abnormal
conditions can be reduced to minimum by repositioning the
antenna or by installing a new one suitable for your area.

NOTES: • The BALANCE control provides a "CLICK" position

in its slide-path. Normally best balance is obtained

at this click position.

• When the VOLUME control is adjusted to a low
level, LOUDNESS will be automatically compen-

sated for better listening (at LOUDNESS range).

AFT (AUTOMATIC FINE TUNING) SWITCH ®

AFT automatically maintains correct fine tuning. AFT opérâtes
only when the AFT switch in "ON" position.
Normally the best picture and Sound will be obtained with the
AFT ON. However under unusual conditions such as weak
signal, unusual atmospheric conditions, inadéquate antenna
System or strong adjacent channel interférence, turning off the
AFT may provide a better picture.

VERTICAL HOLD @

When the picture rolls up or down on the screen, adjust this
control knob until there is a single, steady picture.

PAL/AUTO/SECAM SELECTOR

When this selector is set to AUTO position, this TV receiver can

receive color programs of both PAL or SECAM Systems. It is
recommended to keep it always in AUTO position. If the
receiving signal quality is poor (such as weak, ghost or distorted).
In this case, this selector shall be set at either PAL or SECAM
position according to the colour System of your receiving

télévision signal.

MANUAL DEGAUSSING BUTTON @

This set is equipped with MANUAL DEGAUSSING Button, this
permits you to move your receiver from one location to another

without fear of color distortion. Residual magnetism that may

be picked up by the receiver will be neutralized by simply
pushing MANUAL DEGAUSSING button.

aérosol sprays, cleaning agents, solvents and polishes
will cause permanent damage to the fine surface.
Best results for cleaning are obtained with mild soap
and water, and a soft cloth for drying.

• Cleaning of Heads, Pinch Roller and Capstan
To insure continued high performance from your
set, periodically clean the heads and pinch roller to
remove dust or reddish-brown oxide accumulated.
Failure to clean these parts will resuit in inferior
sound quality, distort ion of recordings, détériora¬
tion of high frequency reproduction, and inconsis-

tent tape speed. Proceed as follows;

1. Open the cassette compartment lid by pressing

the STOP/EJECT button.

2. Press the PLAY button.

3. Moisten a cotton applicator with head cleaner and

apply to the face of both heads, rubbing gently
until ail traces of dirt or oxide are removed. Also
clean the surface of pinch roller and the capstan.

4. Dry, clean, and polish the face of heads with a
piece of cloth.

• Do not expose this appliance to direct sun for a long
period of time. It may cause damage to the cabinet.

If can become too hot inside of a car parked in the

sun or at the beach receiving strong direct sunray,

etc. To prevent damage to the cabinet, shade the set

from direct sunray. (This also applies to cassette
tapes.)

• Do not operate the set when it becomes too hot
from leaving it in the sun or inside the car on a hot

day, wait until it cools off.

• Do not leave your tapes near a source of magnetism.
This may resuit in erasure of the recorded contents

of the tape.

"SNOW" OR WEAK PICTURE

This condition occurs when the signal to the receiving antenna
is too small. For the best possible réception, an outdoor antenna
should be used.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

Interférence in the form of ripples or unstable pi et u res may
resuit from neighboring receiving or transmitting equipment,

flashing néon signs, trolley wires or electrical appliances. If

receiver adjustment does not eliminate this interférence, the
noise source must be located and corrected.

DIATHERMY

Electrically operated medical equipment such as diathermy
apparatus may produce a herringbone pattern across the picture
and, if severe, may even obliterate part of the picture. This
interférence normally is of short duration, and cannot be
removed by receiver adjustment. If severe, the noise source must
be located and corrected.

SOUND BARS IN PICTURE

Misadjustment of the TV TUNIIMG control may cause "sound
bars" on the screen. The Sound bars are eliminated by properly
adjusting the TV TUNING control.
