LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE AP

PLIANCE.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

l.Read instructions-All the safety and operating instruc-

tions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2.Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future rel_rence.

3.Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.Cleaning-Unplug TV/VCR flom the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. EXCEPTION : A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for some specific reason, such as the

possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for

cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description

otherwise required in item 5,

6.Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended

by the TV/VCR manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.Water and Moisture-Do not use this TV/VCR near water

for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

and the like.

8.Accessories-Do not place this TV/VCR on an unstable

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV/VCR may fall, causing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to

the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the

TV/VCR. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the

manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory

recommended by the manufac- turer. An appliance and cart com-

bination should be moved with care.

PORTABLE CART WARNING

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9.Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the TV/VCR and to protect it from overheat- rag, and these openings must not be blocked or covered.

The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV/VCR on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV/VCR should never be placed near or over a radiator or

heat register. This TV/VCR should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless

proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's in- structions have been adhered to.

10.Power Sources-This TV/VCR should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power

company. For TV/VCRs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

ll.Grounding or Polarization-This TV/VCR is equipped

with a polarized alternating-current line plug(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized ping.

12.Power-Cord Protection-Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon m against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and

the point where they exit from the appliance.

G CONDUCTORS

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-dis charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re-

quirements 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 touch-

ing 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 danger-

ous voltage or other hazards. Reler all servicing to quali- fied service persnnne[.

19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR fl'om 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 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 pel'form-

ance-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 charac- teristics as the original part, Unauthorized substitutions

may result in fire, electric shock, injux'yto persons or other hazards.

2LSafety 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 shotdd be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
