PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT OPERATE THIS VCR FOR AT LEAST TWO
OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR
CONDENSES ON THE VCR.
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example,
water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the
glass. This is called moisture condensation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE
FOLLOWING CASES:
• When you move this VCR from a cold to a warm place.
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid
conditions.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the POWER
button to turn on and leave the unit at room temperature
until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take
two or three hours.
LOCATION AND HANDLE
• If you cause a static discharge when touching the VCR,
and the VCR fails to function, simply unplug the unit
from the wall outlet, wait 10 minutes and plug it back
in. The VCR should return to normal operation.
• When you finish operating the VCR, always unload
the cassette and turn off the power.
• When you leave your home for a long time, unplug the
AC power cord.
• To protect the VCR from a lightning storm, unplug the
AC power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna.
POWER SOURCE
TO USE AC POWER SOURCE
Use the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on
AC. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120V 60Hz
polarized AC outlet.
NOTES:
1. Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than the
specified voltage (120V 60Hz). Use the attached
power cord only.
2. If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized
AC outlet, do not attempt to file or cut the blade. It is the
user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the
obsolete outlet.
AC Outlet
• Avoid extreme heat or cold. (41˚F/5˚C-104˚F/40˚C)
• Do not place the VCR on or near appliances which
may cause electromagnetic interference, e.g. TV,
speakers, etc. Doing so may cause erratic operation
of the VCR including picture and/or sound distortion or
noise.
Wider Hole
and Blade
• Avoid extreme moisture and dust.
• The ventilation holes prevent overheating. Do not
block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering
the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.
• Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the
cassette loading slot. Do not spray cleaner or wax
directly on the VCR or use forced air to remove dust.
Polarized AC Cord Plug
(One blade is wider than the other)
• Avoid places subject to strong vibration. Use in a
horizontal (flat) position only.
• Keep the VCR away from flower vases, sinks, etc.
If liquids should be spilled into the VCR, serious
damage will result. If you spill any liquids into the
VCR, unplug the AC power cord immediately and
consult qualified service personnel before attempting
to use the VCR again.

After you have connected the antenna to the VCR, you must connect the VCR to the TV.
Below are 3 common methods of connecting your VCR to a TV. Find the type of TV you are using and follow the

CATV (CABLE TV) CONNECTIONS
Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels.
This VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company
supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a special
channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the TV/CATV menu option is set to the "CATV" mode.
This VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled
programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult
your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the VCR
reads pictures from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be
clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily
be determined if, during playback of a known good tape,
there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head
cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.

AUDIO/VIDEO Cord (not supplied)
For duplicating a previously recorded tape from a
camcorder, follow the camcorder manufacturer’s
instructions. A typical camcorder dubbing hookup is
shown above.
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback
picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads
are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality
or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a
equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet)
head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally.
If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does
not improve the picture, play it several times before
requesting service.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS
OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP
COVER.
NOTES: • Video heads may eventually wear out and
should be replaced when they fail to produce
clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use
only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn
out tapes.
