GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on buying a _Video Cassette Recorder (VCR). For your c',onvenlence,
please read these simple Instructions before operating your VCR.
NOTES:
This Video Cassette Recorder is compatible with any video cassette bearing the mark I_
_ is designed to expand your opportunities for in-home TV viewing and not for a_ayusage which might violate copy-
right laws.
"17 1©_e Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)with this marking incorporates _} high-quality picture technology and
is compatible with any Video Cassette Recorders bearing the _t_ mark.
Installation Considerations
Before you install your VCR...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your
VCR running cool. Air circulates through perfora-
tions Lnthe back and bottom of the cabinet. Do
not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your VCR.
Power Source m Your VCR is designed to oper-
ate on normal household current, 120 volt 60
Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC
current.
Power Cord -- Your VCR power cord has a po-
_[k arizexl plug as required by Underwriters' Labora-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,
your outlet is very. old and non-standard. A new outlet should
be installed by a qualified electrician.
Safe Operation w Your VCR is manufactured
and tested with your safety in mind. However, un-
usual stress caused by dropping or mishandling,
exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or acci-
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.
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your VCR.
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.
Keep the video r,_order and video cassette away from
strong nmgnetic fields.
Use only approw_d and recommended accessory units
with your video 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 maxJimam protection, 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 is moved from a cold place to a
warm place.
Under extremely humid conditiorLs.
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
Keep the power coJrd plugged into an AC outlet and the
POWER switch set to ON. This will help prevent con-
densation from accurring.
When condensatiiort has occurred, it will not evaporate
quickly once the power is switched on. Wait a few hours
for the video recorder to become dry before using the
video recorder.

New MFR Numbers
The MFR Numbers List is a current listing of all
available MFR numbers to date. If your cable/con-
vener box does not tune to Channel 19, perhaps a
newly created MFR number will work, that has not
yet been published. In this case, try entering all
MFR numbers starting with number 1 and continue
through MFR number 83, to see if the cable box
will tune to Channel 19, and leave Channel 19 re-
main selected.
Note:
If the system test is not successful, enter 99 as the
MFR number. If the system test is not successful,

VCR Plus Channel Mapping Worksheet
Cable Company Assigned, and VCR Plus+ TV Channel Numbers
for Your Local Broadcast Area
On the worksheet below, write in (with a pencil)
each channel number that you receive these net-
work's programming over. Write in the channel
number. When Channel Mapping the VCR for
your local broadcast area, you would enter the
VCR Plus+ channel number on the same line that
corresponds to the channel number you receive
these programs over. In the example :shown on the
previous page, a cable :subscriber receives MAX
on Channel 16. So, when channel mapping, the sub-
scriber would enter 45 (for MAX) under the VCR
Plus+ Ch colunm on the same line as Channel 16,
as shown. Use your cable company's TV guide for
reference.
In this column, write In VCR Plus+ Channel
