Safety PrecautionsThis lightning flash with arrowhead symbolwithin an equilateral triangle is intended toalert the user to the presence of uninsulateddangerous voltage within the product’s enclo-sure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute arisk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateraltriangle is intended to alert the user to thepresence of important operating and mainte-nance (servicing) instructions in the literatureaccompanying the product.NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER: This reminder is providedto call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article820-40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The codeprovides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to thegrounding system of the building, as close to the point ofthe cable entry as practical.REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15This product has been tested and found to comply withthe limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference whenthe product is operated in a residential installation. Thisproduct generates, uses and can radiate radio frequencyenergy and, if not installed and used in accordance withthe instruction manual, may cause harmful interference toradio communications. However, there is no guaranteethat interference will not occur in a particular installa-tion. If this product does cause harmful interference toradio or television reception, which can be determined byturning the product off and on, the user is encouraged totry to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the product andreceiver. • Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-cian for help. FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radiofrequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless themodifications are expressly approved in the instructionmanual.

Doing so might cause a fire or anelectrical shock. (See page 11.)WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICSHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.MOISTURE CONDENSATIONIf you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in theair will condense on the surface of the glass. This is moisture condensation. Moisture condensation on thehead drum, one of the most crucial parts of the unit,will cause damage to the tape. When the VCR is exposedto a rapid temperature change from cold to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condition, connectthe power cord to the AC line, press POWER on andallow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDEREFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSONNEL.SERIAL NUMBER: The serial number is found on the backof this unit.

Then pressFFor GGto choose adesired setting.The onscreen display of this VCR can be turned on or off.The onscreen programming of this VCR can display in eitherEnglish, Spanish, or French.The VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the high qualityVHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono system. The sameaudio is generally recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi systemplays on separate (left and right) channels, and the NORMAL systemplays monaural sound. The normal track is always played so the cas-sette can be played on a VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/orSecond Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this displayto the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signalsare received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, theVCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving mode(Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position.For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO posi-tion. The VCR will then record a STEREO program when available,and record a mono program IF the program NOT IN STEREO.•For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasting, changing thedisplay to mono may give clearer sound.Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE display (HI-FI/NOR-MAL) is in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals fromthe AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and VHF/UHF/CATV.This display setting should normally be left in the stereo position,so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will beheard through the left and right channels.
