When connecting with an antenna
To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and TV
Use the ISM feature in the Option menu to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period
of time. If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen may remain visible on
the screen. This phenomenon is common to all manufactures and in consequence the manufactures warranty
does not cover the product bearing this phenomenon.
