Plugging in You="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 1JaeVCR once l_heextuipment is turned
off. If the power to the VCR is inte:crupl_.dfor an extended
time, you will have to reset the clock in the VCR.

Power Source m Your VCR is designed to operate on normal household current, 120 volt 60
Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC
current.

Keep the video r,_order and video cassette away from
strong nmgnetic fields.

Save the shipping carton and packing material. They will
come in handy if you ever have to ship your video recorder. For maxJimam protection, re-pack the video recorder as it was originally shipped from the factory.

Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your
VCR running cool. Air circulates through perforations Lnthe back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
