This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE PLUG CAN BE FULLY INSERTED WITHOUT EXPOSING ANY PARTS OF THE BLADES.
WARNING : Do not drop the tying band of the power cord into the unit. Doing so might cause a fire or an electrical shock. (See page 11.)
IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: Many television programs and films are copyrighted. In certain circumstances, copyright law may apply to private in-home video taping of copyrighted materials.
FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2)this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is moisture condensation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape.
When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature change from cold to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condition, connect the power cord to the AC line, press POWER on and allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.
The serial number is found on the back of this unit. This number is unique to this unit and not available to others. You should record requested information here and retain this guide as a permanent record of your purchase.

7.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.
8.Transporting Product
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.
9.Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
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, and 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.

1Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the TV receiver.
2Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the connector marked ANT.IN on your VCR.
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN connector. The Adaptor does not screw on to the VCR, it just slips over the connector.

Without Cable Box
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN connector on the VCR. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the VCR’s VHF/UHF/CATV connector and the 75 ohm antenna input connector on the TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels.
With Cable Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the instruction below: The cable hookup permits both TV and VCR operation.
To view or record CATV channel
1Set the TV channel to the video output channel as located on the back of the VCR (CH3 or CH4).
2Set the VCR channel selector to the output channel of the Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRACK (▲/▼) or number (0-9) of your VCR. (Example: CH3)
3Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
NOTES
•With this connection, you CANNOT record one program while viewing another.
•Channel memory programming is not needed when using the connection.

VCR OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH
During playback of a video tape, and when press TV/VCR to set the VCR mode, the VCR OUTPUT converter changes the video and audio signals to the same type of signals that are used for TV broadcasts. Set the VCR OUTPUT channel switch (marked CH3, CH4 and located on the rear panel) to channel 3 or 4. Select the channel that is not used for TV broadcasts in your area.
This is your VCR OUTPUT channel. To play a tape, or to watch TV using the VCR’s built-in tuner, always set your TV’s channel selector to the same channel (3 or 4).
