13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-if an outsideantenna
orcable system is connected to the TVNCR, be sure

the antenna or cable system isgrounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against voltage surges and built-
upstatic charges. Article810 ofthe National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides informationwith
respect to proper grounding of the mast and support-

ing structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
tocationof antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14.Lightning-During a lightning storm, or before leav-

ing it unattended and unused for a long period of

time, unplug the TVNCR from the wall outlet, and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the TVNCR from lightning and
power-surges.

f5.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 itcan
fall into power lines or circuits. When installingan out-
side antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching power lines orcircuits, as con-
tact with them might be fatal,

1&Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and ex-

tension 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 TVNCR throughopenings 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 TVNCR.

18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TVNCR
yourself as opening or removing covers may ex-
pose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TVNCR

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is dam-

aged or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilJed, or objects have fallen

intothe TVNCR.

c. If the TVNCR 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 TVNCR 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

performance it needs to be serviced.

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 infire,
electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.

21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this TVNCR, ask the service technician

to perform routine safety checks to determine that
the TVNCR is in proper operating condition.

22.Heat-This TVNCR product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators, heat reg-

isters, stoves, or other products (including amplifi-
ers) that produce heat.

PRECAUTIONS

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.

• For proper heat dissipation, avoid places with
insufficient ventilation. Do not block the

ventilation holes at the top and bottom of the

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
temperature differences are extreme.

• 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 a Sears 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.

a TV/VCR which has moisture, it may damage

the tape and TV/VCR. Therefore when you
suspect that condensation has occurred inside

the unit, turn the POWER button ON and allow at

_ast2 hours for the unit to dry out.

PREPARATION FOR USE

VHF/UHF OUTOOOR ANTENNAS

VHF/UHF COMBINED ANTENNA

The VHF/UHF Dipole Antenna (supplied) is

detachable. Insert the stem of the antenna into

the hole on the upper-back portion of the

TVNCR.
Connect the VHF/UHF Dipole Antenna or

VHF/UHF Combination Antenna to the Antenna
terminal of the TV/VCR as shown in the diagram

below.
For the best reception, fully extend the VHF/UHF

Dipole Antenna and make the necessary
adjustments. (Avoid touching the top section

when adjusting.)

VHF/UHF Antenna (Notsupplied)

Dipole Antenna
(Supplied)

NOTE:

The connection of an indoor antenna may not
always give acceptable TV reception.

In some areas it will be necessary to use an
outdoor antenna. If you have separate UHF and

VHF antennas, you will need a VHF/UHF
combiner (not supplied) to make the connection

to the Antenna terminal of the TV/VCR.

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 signals. Conversely,
poor quality signals are likely to result in caption
errors or no captions at all. Common signal
conditions that may cause caption errors are

listed below:

• Automobile ignition noise.

• Electric motor brush noise.

• Weak snowy reception on TV screen.

• Multiplex signal reception displaying picture
ghosts or airplane flutter.

• Playback of poorly recorded or worn tapes.

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children
from watching inappropriate material on TV.

V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming
(except for news and sports programs, unedited
movies on premium cable channels, and Emer-
gency Broadcast System signals), then denies
access to programming if the program's rating
meets the limitations you select. In this case,
"PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message
appears on the TV screen.

To block ratings, follow the steps below.

• Programming may be rated by the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) or
according to the Television Parental Guide-

lines. In order to block any inappropriate
programming, set your limits in both places

(MPAA BATING and TV RATING).

CLOSED-CAPTION

PROBLEM

TW'VCR is showing captions that
are m_sspelted

TV/VCR will not show the text in

Jits entirety or there is a delay of

what is being said.

Captions are scrambled with
white boxes on the TV screen.

Program guide listed a TV show
as being closed-captioned but

none of the captions were
displayed

Prerecorded video tape does not
show any captions. The tape box

mentions itbeing closed-captioned
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 tilrough
uncorrected. A prerecorded program wiII 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 dialogue to a maxirnum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue

exceeds lhat rate. selective editing is used to insure that the captions
remain up-to-date with the cu_TeetTV screen dialogue.

• Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms

etc. may cause scrarnbled 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 g_ven Since the decoder cannot read the
compressed information, captions wil! 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 to

CAPTION [OFF].
