REGULATORY INFORMATION:
FCC Part 15
This product 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 product is operated in a residential installation. This
product 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 product does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the product 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 product and
receiver.
• 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 technician for help.
FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radio
frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this
equipment may cause harmful interference unless the
modifications are expressly approved in the instruction
manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this
equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is
made.
FCC COMPLIANCE: The responsible party for this product’s
compliance is:
Zenith Electronics Corporation, 2000 Millbrook Drive,
Lincolnshire, IL 60069, USA
Phone: 1-847-391-7000.
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, press POWER on and
allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.

AUDIO MODE DISPLAY
The VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the high quality
VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono system. The same
audio is generally recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system
plays on separate (left and right) channels, and the NORMAL system
plays monaural sound. The normal track is always played so the cassette can be played on a VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.
Use the AUDIO MODE option to select HI-FI or NORMAL by
pressing F or G.
BROADCAST TYPE DISPLAY (STEREO/SAP/MONO)
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display
to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals
are received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the
VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving mode
(Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position.
For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position. The VCR will then record a STEREO program when available,
and record a mono program IF the program NOT IN STEREO.
Use the BROADCAST TYPE option to select STEREO, SAP,
or MONO by pressing F or G.
• For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasting, changing the
display to mono may give clearer sound.
AUDIO OUTPUT DISPLAY (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)
Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE display (HI-FI/NORMAL) is in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from
the 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 be
heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.
