POWER SERVICE GROUNDI NG ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H)

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 per-

sonnel 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 adjust-

ment 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 character-

istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may

result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-

ards.

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.

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.

recorded on units other than your own, noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the playback picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking control manually by pressing the CHANNEL K or L button until the streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback again.

Usually there will be video “noise” lines (black

•

and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is normal.

If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP mode, the still picture will be black and white in addition to the “noise” lines.

This is not a fault of the machine, but is a byproduct of the technology involved in producing a TV/VCR with 2 video heads.

If it is left in the Pause mode for more than five

•

minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to the Stop mode.

NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode)

This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise lines of a still picture.Press the PAUSE/STILL button so that the noise lines change position on the screen so you can see the picture in its entirety without distracting noise lines.

NOTE: This feature can be activated ONLY when viewing a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape was originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the still picture may revert to black and white in addition to the “noise bars”. This is normal.

PICTURE SEARCH

This feature is very useful in finding or skipping over a particular scene on a tape. In this mode, the sound will be muted.

1)You may view a video tape at a high speed in either a forward or reverse direction by pressing the F.FWD or REW button during playback.

(in the SP / LP / SLP modes)
