13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect 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. (Fig. A)
14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR receiver
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 TV/VCR due to lightning and
power-line surges.
15.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.
16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind
into this TV/VCR 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 TV/VCR.
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR 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 or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
TV/VCR.
c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the TV/VCR to its normal operation.
e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance-this indicates a need for service.
20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper
operating condition.
22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

PREPARATION FOR USE
ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS
VHF/UHF COMBINED ANTENNA
The VHF/UHF Rod Antenna (supplied with 13”
model only) is detachable. Insert the stem of the
antenna into the hole on the upper-back portion of
the TV/VCR.Connect the VHF/UHF Rod Antenna or
VHF/UHF Combination Antenna to the ANT. terminal of the TV/VCR as shown in the diagram. For the
best reception, fully extend the VHF/UHF Rod
Antenna and make the necessary adjustments. (Avoid
touching the top section when adjusting.)
NOTE:
Before plugging the Rod antenna into antenna terminal, check that the pin is not bent. If it is bent,
straighten the pin as illustrated, then plug the pin into
antenna terminal.
CABLE WITHOUT CONVERTER/
DESCRAMBLER BOX
Use this connection if your cable system connects
directly to your TV/VCR without a converter box.
By using this connection you can:
1) Use the TV/VCR remote to select channels.
2) Program one or more unscrambled channels for
Automatic Timer Recording.
NOTE: This unit will ONL
Y record and view the
same channel.
VHF/UHF SEPARATE ANTENNAS
In some areas it will be necessary to use an outdoor
antenna.
NOTE:
The connection of an indoor antenna may not always
give acceptable TV reception.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
CABLE WITH CONVERTER/
DESCRAMBLER BOX OR SATELLITE
BOX
If your cable service supplies you with a converter
box or if you use a satellite system, you can use the
basic connection shown in the diagram.
By using this connection you can also record scrambled channels. However, channel selection must be
made with the converter box or satellite box. This
means that channels cannot be changed using the
TV/VCR Remote Control. Unattended timer recording is limited to one channel at a time.
