Note to Cable TV System Installer
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system in-
staLler's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro-

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 re-
place your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
l:_Se of the polarized plug by altering it in any way.

Introduction
Welcome into the family of Zenith Video Recorder owners.
This guide provides instructions on how to operate your.new
VCR. It is supplemented by a booklet containing Safety Tips.
We urge you to read these publications carefully so that you
will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith VCR for
m;uay years to come.
Your new Zenith VCR has _ designed and built to give you
the very best in quality, features and performance.
Should your VCR require repair, please contact your nearest
Circuit City store to arrange for service. If you live outside
at, areaserviced by Circuit City, there are many approved
Z_.nith video recorder service centers throughout the U.S.,
Canada and Mexico who can promptly and effectively attend
to ordinary service needs.
If you should have an unusual performance or service prob-
lem that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your local Cir-
cuit City or Zenith service center, please write or call:
Installation Considerations
Before you install your VCR...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your
VCR running cool. Air circulates through perfora-
tions in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your VCR.
Power Source -- Your VCR is designed to oper-
ate on normal household current, 120 volt 60
Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC cur-
rel_t.
Power Cord -- Your VCR power cord has a po-
_ arized plug as required by Underwriters' Labora-
your outlet is very old and non-standard. A new outlet should

A nd tested with your safety in mind. However, un-
dental spilling: of liquids into the VCR, can result in potential
electrical shock or fire hazards. If this happens, have your
VCR checked by a service technician before using it again.
].:'lease read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
".rips" folder when installing and using your VCR.
tories. It has one regular blade and one wide
blade and fits only one way into a standard electri-
cal outlet. If the blades will not enter either way,

Sunday, Noon -- 8:00 p.m.
Send the model number, serial rumber, and date of purchase
or original installation, with a full explanation of the problem
and the service history. We will welcome the opportunity to
look into your specific question or problem and to be of assis-
tance in resolving it promptly.
The model and serial number:; cf your new VCR are located
on the VCR cabinet. For your fi._tureconvenience and protec-
tion, we suggest that you record these numbers here:
Model No.
Serial No.
• Plugging in Your VCR -- Be sure to plug your VCR into
an "unswitched'" AC power source. The "switched" AC
outlets found on some video equipment will not continue
supplying power to the VCR once the equil')ment is turned
off. If the power to the VCE is interrupted for an extended
time, you will have to reset the clock in the VCR.
• Keep the video recorder and video cassette away from
strong magnetic fields.
• Use only Zenith approved :and recommended accessory
units with your Zenith vide,o recorder to avoid potential
hazards.
• Save the shipping carton and packing material. They will
come in handy if you ever have to ship your video re-
corder. For maximum prolection, re-pack the:video re-
corder as it was originally shipped from the factory.
Moisture condensation is apt to occur under the following
conditions:
• When the video recorder i:; moved from a cold place to a
warm place.
• Under extremely humid conditions.
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
• Keep the :power cord plugl_,ed into an AC. outlet and the
POWER .switch set to ON. This will help prevent con-
densation from occurring.
• When condensation has occurred, it will not evaporate
quickly once the power is switched on. Wait a few hours
for the vMeo recorder to l:ecome dry betore using the
video recorder.
