NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. 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 appliance. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. POWER CORD POLARIZATION: CAUTION: To Prevent Electric Shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert. ATTENTION: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond. 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. REGULATORY INFORMATION: This equipment 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 equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment 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 equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment 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 equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment 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. CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify this product in any way without written authorization from LG Electronics Corporation. Unauthorized modification could void the user’s authority to operate this product. This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. “Ce appareil numérique de la class b respecte toutes les exigences du Règulement sur le matériel brouillier du Canada.” SA F E T Y T I P S IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 3 These simple precautions will help ensure that you get many years of safe enjoyment from your new product. 1.

If plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat safety purpose of polarized plug. 13. Power-Cord Protection Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from product. 14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be sure antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (USA), ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information on grounding of mast and supporting structure, grounding of lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrode. ( See Fig. 1 below. ) Fig. 1 Antenna Lead-in Wire Ground Clamp Antenna Discharge Unit NEC Section 810-20 Electric Service Equipment Grounding Conductors NEC Section 810-21 Ground Clamps Power Service Grounding Electrode System NEC Art 250, Part H NEC: National Electrical Code Antenna grounding per NEC Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 SA F E T Y T I P S IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 4 These simple precautions will help ensure that you get many years of safe enjoyment from your new product. 15. Lightning For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when product is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning and power line surges. 16. Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

Connect the Power (Required) Plug your VCR into an unswitched 120 Vac, 60 Hz household power outlet. Turn on the VCR by pressing the POWER on the remote or on the VCR’s front panel. While plugged into an AC outlet, the VCR consumes 3W of electrical power in OFF condition. Do not plug the VCR into a switched power outlet. Otherwise, when the power is switched off, the VCR turns off. You may then have to reset the time and date, and reprogram operational features.

The “SEARCH” message will blink for 2~5 minutes in the VCR’s front panel display during auto setting. The auto clock set works only in areas where Data Service (DS) signals are provided along with normal TV signals. If there is not channel that is memorized, “No DATA” will appear. Set Position of the CH3/CH4 Switch (Required) 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.

Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation can occur: In locations where moisture condensation may occur: • When the video recorder is moved from a cold place to a warm place. • Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet and POWER On. This will help prevent condensation. • Under extremely humid conditions. • When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours for the VCR to dry before using it. Magnetic Field from Other Equipment Keep the VCR and videotapes away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by a vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, or air conditioner. Video Head Cleaning Your VCR automatically cleans the heads as it is used. However, after long periods of use, your video heads may become clogged with accumulated dirt, causing distortion. When this occurs, use a do-it-yourself wet-type head cleaning cassette available from your LG dealer. Caution: Do not use a dry-type head-cleaning system. It may seriously damage the VCR and cassettes used in the VCR. Snow, streaking in picture, and horizontal pulling indicate the need for professional video head cleaning. See your LG approved service center for cleaning. Cabinet Cleaning Clean the outside surfaces of the VCR with a soft lint-free cloth as required. Use care not to scratch the VCR during cleaning.
