PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK);
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within
an
equilateral triangle
is
intend-
ed
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
equilater-
al
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
EXTEN-
SION CORD, RECEPTACLE
OR
OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE PLUG CAN BE FULLY

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 modifica-
tions to this equipment may cause
harmful interfer-
ence
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 conden-
sation
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.

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code (U.S.A), 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, con-
nection to grounding
electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding
electrode.

15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver)
during a
lightning storm, or when it
is
left unat-
tended and unused for
long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or

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 cir-
cuits. When
installing
an
outside antenna sys-
tem, 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 and extension
cords as this can
result
in
a risk of fire or elec-
tric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings
as
they may touch dan-
gerous
voltage points or short-out parts that
could result
in
a fire or electric shock. Never

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

WHAT
IS
VCR Plus+ PROGRAMMING SYSTEM?
The VCR Plus+ Programming System
is
a timer programming
system which
simplifies timer recording programming. Instead of
entering the date,
channel position, and recording timer for the
timer,
simply enter the PlusCode
.,
programming number of the
program to record. These
PlusCode® programming number can
be
found
in
most TV magazine and newspaper listings.
To
activate the VCR Plus+ programming system,
it
is
necessary
that the preset
channel positions match the guide channels which
are assigned to the TV
channels (channel mapping). If they do not
match, you have to
channel mapping before starting timer record-
ing using the VCR
Plus+ system.
ANTENNA/CABLE
CONNECTIONS
The Channel Mapping set-up depends on the specific antenna or
cable-TV connection that you have used to hook-up your VCR
in
your home. Look left to determine the connection that you have
used and
follow the VCR Plus+ Channel Mapping instructions that
apply.
Direct connection from either a home antenna or cable-TV system
that does not require a
cable box. Details are
on
page 7 for a
home antenna and page 8-9 for
cable system.
If your VCR
is
connected like this, follow the VCR Plus+ Channel
Mapping instructions on next page .
