to Section 820-40 of the
NEC which 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 cable entry as
practical.
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 in a residential installation! This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, 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.

SAFETY TIPS
14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, be sure
the 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 (U.S.A),
ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding
electrode. (See figure 1 on the right.)
15.Lightning
For added protection for this product
(receiver) during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the 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. When
installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
17.Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result
in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
22.Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper
operating condition.
23.Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
24.Heat

Remote Control
Your video recorder (VCR) is designed so that almost all of it’s features can be controlled from the Remote
Control. Some features can also be controlled from the front panel of the video recorder. The
maximum operating distance that you may control your video recorder is about 25 feet (7.5 meters).
It must also be within an angle of 30 degrees either side of the remote sensor on the front of your
video recorder.
To avoid damage from possible battery leakage, remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the remote control
for an extended period of time. Do not use batteries of differing age or type. Always discard batteries safely.

Connections
The guidance given on the next two pages is the most common forms of connection. However please
check with your manufacturers instruction books for specific information. Make sure all connections
are made with both your VCR and additional appliance unplugged from the mains to avoid
damaging your equipment. Connecting a VCR using a Audio/Video cable is one of the best ways to
achieve optimum sound and picture quality from video-tape playback. If you own a stereo TV you will
be able to enjoy stereo sound when playing a stereo video tape or stereo TV reception.

Troubleshooting
If the unit does not seem to operate properly, read the instructions again, then check the table below.
Video Head Cleaning
Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from your VCR the video head is automatically cleaned.
This should mean that additional head cleaning should not be necessary. However dirt accumulating on the head
after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken up. High quality video
cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes might.
Cassette cannot be inserted.
• Load cassette in direction indicated by arrow on cassette.
• A cassette is already in the VCR.
• Check if display window is lit. If not, make sure power cord is
plugged in.
• If the
indicator flashes, press POWER again.
No picture appears on TV screen.
• Set the television to the same channel selected on the RF
Channel Select Switch. (CH3 or CH4).
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, turn on the
VCR and allow at least two
hours for the VCR to dry
out.
The playback picture is noisy.
• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel or video
input.
• Adjust the tracking manually when the tape quality is poor.
• Although the unit cleans the video heads automatically, dirt
may be accumulated after a long period of use. Clean the
video heads with a commercially available video heads
cleaning tape.
• Make sure all the connections with the VCR are made
correctly and securely.
TV reception is noisy or there is no TV reception.
• Connect the VCR to the antenna and TV correctly and
securely.
• Move the VCR away from the TV set.
No picture, but audio is clear.
• The heads may require cleaning.
