1+_.Outdoor Antenna grounding-lf an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the antenna orcable 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 TVIVCR re- ceiver 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 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 andextension 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 your- self 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 lrom 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
TVtVCR.
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 perform-
ance-this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts-when replacement parts are re-
quired, be sure the service technician has used replace- ment 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.
2I. 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.

SETTING THE CLOCK
Setting the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording.
The TV/VCR power must be turned on.
Confirm that the antenna connections are correct (See page 12 - 13).
The cable converter box must be turned on if your TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See HINT #4)
You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel in
your area. Once you have set the clock by using the following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a new service called Extended
Data Service (EDS).

Select item 1 (AUTO CLOCK ION]) by pressing
the 1 button. Make sure it says [ON].
Select item 2 (AUTO CLOCK CH SET) by press-
ing the 2 button.
HINTS:
I. If you choose "00" during step 4, the TVIVCR must search through all the available channels one, starting with
the lowest numbered channel. It must scan each channel for a couple of minutes to determine if that channel is transmitting the EDS signal, because the PBS station will send this signal only once every minute. This search could take up to 2 hours if the local PBS station is on a high numbered channel in your area or on your cable system. You may want to start this channel search at night when the unit is not in use, This only has to be done one time, because once the TV/VCR has been set up to use this auto clock setting feature, it will automatically tune to the selected PBS channel and reset the clock if necessary, every time the unit is turned off for a few minutes. The clock setting is changed only if the clock's time has become incorrect for some reason.
2. If the time that is automatically set by this selected PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS station, but one from a different time zone. In this case, you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set
the clock manually and turn off the automatic clock setting feature. See page 17.
3. If no channel in your area isbroadcasting the EDS signal, as evidenced by no time being set even after an overnight search, you must set the clock manually and turn off the automatic clock setting feature. See page 17.
4. If your TV/VCR is connected directry to a cable converter box, the lacal PBS station must be selected on the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box (usually channel
3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically. The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the cable convener box.

NOTE: Not all programs are broadcast with closed captions.
Your television is designed to provide error free closed captions from high quality antenna, cable and VCR sig- nals. Conversely, poor quality signals are likely to result
in caption errors or no captions at all. Common signal
conditions which may cause captions errors are listed below;
a) Automobile ignition noise. b) Electric motor brush noise.
c) Weak snowy picture. d) Multiplex signal reception displaying picture ghosts
or airplane flutter.
e) Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes. f) If your TVNCR displays a

CLOSED CAPTION PROBLEM
My TV/VCR is showing captions that are misspelled.
My TV/VCR will not show the text in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said.
My captions are scrambled with white boxes on the TV/VCR screen.
My program guide listed a TV show as being closed captioned but none of the captions were displayed.
My prerecorded video tape does not show any captions. The tape box mentions it being closed captioned.
My TV screen shows a black box on certain channels.
POSSIBLE REMEDY
You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the normal time
available for editing the captions. Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common
for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate,
selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV/VCR screen dialogue.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed up the actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the decoder
cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost. The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company
accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process.
You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CLOSED CAPTION [OFF].

MAINTENANCE
1
Should your TV/VCR become inoperative, do not
try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power cord, and take the unit to the nearest Sears Service Center for servicing.
Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of
the TV/VCR with a soft cloth immersed in luke- warm water and wrung dry.
Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insec- ticide liquid near the TV/VCR. Such chemicals may
cause damage and discoloration to the exposed sur- faces.

Picture playback may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. This does not mean that the recorded program has been erased. Dirt accumulated on the video heads after long pe- riods of tape playback, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. In this case, video head cleaning requires highly technical attention, there-
fore consult the nearest Sears Service Center. Clean heads only when problems occur.
