The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the product.
NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code 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 the cable entry as practical.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT. ATTENTION: POUR ÉVITER LES CHOC ÉLECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU’AU FOND.

REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is operated in a residential installation. This product generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the product off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the product and receiver.
•Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.
FCC COMPLIANCE: The responsible party for this product’s compliance is:
Zenith Electronics Corporation, 2000 Millbrook Drive, Lincolnshire, IL 60069, USA
Phone: 1-847-391-7000.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is moisture condensation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape. When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature change from cold to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condition, connect the power cord to the AC line, press POWER on and allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.

3.Retain Instructions
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
4.Heed Warnings
All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
5.Cleaning
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6.Water and Moisture
Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
7.Accessories
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
8.Transporting Product
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
9.Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10.Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11.Power Sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

The CH3/CH4 switch on the VCR’s back panel determines which channel the VCR uses to send video signals to your TV. The TV must be tuned to the same channel you set with the CH3/CH4 switch to see tape playback and status displays from the VCR. To determine which video channel provides the best picture for your system, try the switch in CH3 position and tune your TV to channel 3; then try the CH4 position and tune your TV to channel 4.
For a test display, press TV/VCR on remote repeatedly until the VCR indicator light appears in the VCR’s front panel display. Press MENU on the remote to see the main menu.

REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control is used for most of the operations and features of the VCR. Before proceeding, put batteries in the remote and become familiar with the buttons. Use only type AAA batteries. The maximum operating distance is about 25 feet.
The POWER, PLAY, PAUSE, FF, REW and REC/ITR buttons on the remote control unit perform the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the VCR. The remaining buttons are on the remote control unit only.
