LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE
APPLIANCE.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 overheating, 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 builtin installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions
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.
11.Grounding orPolarization-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 plug.
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 or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.

(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.

PRECAUTIONS
LOCATION
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of
your TV/VCR, keep the following in mind when
selecting a place for its installation:
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away
•
from sources of intense heat.
Avoid dusty or humid places.
•
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
•
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes
at the top and bottom of the unit. Do not place the
unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation holes.
Install unit in a horizontal position.
•
Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.
•
Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.
•
Avoid moving TV/VCR to locations where temper-
•
ature differences are extreme.
AVOID THE HAZARDS OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
•
Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting
•
it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
If, by accident, water is spilled on your unit, unplug
•
the power cord immediately and take the unit to our
Authorized Service Center for servicing.
Do not put your fingers or objects into the
•
TV/VCR cassette holder.
Do not place anything directly on top of the unit.
•
WARNING
Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit
when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place,
or after heating a cold room or under conditions of
high humidity. If a tape is played in a TV/VCR
which has moisture, it may damage the tape and
TV/VCR. Therefore when the condensation occurs
inside the unit, turn the POWER button on and allow
at least 2 hours for the unit to dry out.

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 ONLY record and view the
same channel.
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.

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 drawing.
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.
TO RECORD A SCRAMBLED/UNSCRAMBLED
CHANNEL
1. Set the TV/VCR channel selector to the output
channel of the Cable Converter Box or Satellite
Box. (Ex. CH3)
2.Select the channel to record from your Cable
Converter Box or Satellite Box.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
1)Open the battery compartment cover by pressing
the cover on the remote unit in the direction of the
arrow.
2)Insert 2 “AA” penlight batteries into the battery
compartment in the direction indicated by the
polarity (+/-) markings.
3)Replace the cover.
