PRECAUTIONS
For safe operation and satisfactory performance
of your TVNCR, keep the following in mind when
selecting a place for its installation:
•Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away
from sources of intense heat.
•Avoid dusty or humid places.
• For proper heat dissipation, avoid places with
insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventila-
tion holes at the top and bottom of the unit. Do
not place the unit on a carpet because this will
block the ventilation holes.
•Install unit in a horizontal position.
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.
• Do not place the TVNCR near strong mag-
netic fields.
• Avoid moving TV/VCR to locations where tem-
perature differences are extreme.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull on the power cord when discon-
necting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by
the plug.
• If, by accident, water is spilled on your unit, un-
plug the power cord immediately and take the
unit to a Sears Service Center for servicing.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the
TVNCR cassette holder.
• Do not place anythingdirectly on top of the unit.
Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit
when it is moved from acold place to a warm
place, or after heating a cold room or under con-
ditions of high humidity. If a tape is played in a
TVNCR which has moisture, it may damage the
tape and TV/VCR. Therefore when you suspect
that condensation has occurred inside the unit,
turn the POWER button ON and allow at least 2
hours for the unit to dry out.

TIMER
You may set the TVNCR to start and end a
recording while you are away. You can set 8 pro-
grams to record on specific days, daily or weekly
within a 1 year period.
The example to the dght shows how to set the
timer to record channel 7 on May 6th, 1999 from
7:30 PM to 8:50 PM at SP tape speed.
Make sure:
• Use the remote control for this procedure.
•If a cableor satelliteconverter is connected to the
TVNCR, you mustset the channelyou want to
recordonthe converter(The rVNCR should
always be setto channel3 or 4).
• Clock must be set to the correct time and date
before setting the timer.
• rVNCR must be turnedon to program it.
•Insert a cassette tape with its erase preven-
tion tab in place. If necessary, rewind or fast
forward the tape to the point at which you
want to begin recording.
Avoid overlapping of programs
Programs with overlapping starting times may
result in some of the programs not recording.
When programs overlap:
•The program with the eadiest starting time
has recording pdodty.
•Once the program with the eadiest starting
time finishes, recording then proceeds
according to the sequence in which the
programs were entered.
•In the example below, the first 11/2 hours of
Program 3 were not recorded. The first half-
hour was pre-empted by Program 2, which
had the eadiest starting time. The next hour
was pre-empted by Program 1, which was the
first program entered into the recording
_equence.

CLOSED-CAPTION
PROBLEM
rVNCR is showing captions that
are misspelled.
TVNCR will not show the text in
its entirety or there is a delay of
what is being said.
Captions are scrambled with
white boxes on the TV screen.
Program guide listed arv show
as being closed-captioned but
none of the captions were
displayed.
Prerecordedvideotape doesnot
showany captions.The tape box
mentions it being clnsed-captioned.
TV screen shows ablack box on
certain channels.
POSSIBLE REMEDY
•You are watchinga live broadcast and spellingerrorsmade by the
closed-captioningproductioncompany may pass through
uncorrected.A prerecordedprogramwillnotshow any misspelled
words because ofthe normaltime available forediting the captions.
•Cap_onsthat are detayeda few secondsbehindtheactualdialogueare
commonfor rNebroadcasts.Most captioningproduc'doncompanies can
displaydialogueto emaximum of 220 words per minute.Ifa dialogue
exceeds thatrate,selec'&,eediting is used to insurethatthe captions
remain up-to-datewiththe currentTV screendialogue.
• Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms,
etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
• Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to
speed up the actual program so that additional advertising
time can be given. Since the decoder cannot read the
compressed information, captions will be lost.
• The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape
duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning signals
during the copying process.
• You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode to
CAPTION [OFF].
