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. 4F10401A E COV-07 11/12/2001, 10:14 ENGLISH MOISTURE CONDENSATION PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED) BATTERY CAUTIONS Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device: • Use only the size and type of batteries specified. • Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.

If you are a cable (CATV) subscriber,skip ahead to page 12 for the proper connections. ANTENNA TO VCR CONNECTION The VCR must be connected "between" the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and connect it to the VCR. Then connect the VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting an antenna system to a VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram. Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 75 ohm Coaxial Cable VCR IN 75 ohm Coaxial Cable OUT Combination VHF/UHF Antenna with 300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire VCR Matching Transformer 300 ohm Input 75 ohm output (not supplied) IN OUT 300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire VCR Separate VHF and UHF Antennas VHF Combiner 75/300 ohm Inputs 75 ohm output (not supplied) UHF IN 300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire OUT 75 ohm Coaxial Cable NOTE: If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300 ohm inputs and one 75 ohm output. NOTES: • A clear picture will not be obtained by the VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the VCR properly. • For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use of an outdoor type antenna is required. • If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel. 10 4F10401A E P08-13 10 11/12/2001, 10:12 This VCR has a single 75 ohm output for connection to a TV.

Below are 3 common methods of connecting your VCR to a TV. Find the type of TV you are using and follow the connection diagram. 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. VCR TV UHF/VHF IN Incoming Cable VHF/UHF IN (ANT) OUT ALLOWS: * Recording of nonscrambled channels. * Use of the programmable timer. * Recording of one channel while watching another. TV Converter/ Descrambler UHF/VHF IN Incoming Cable VHF/UHF IN (ANT) OUT ALLOWS: * Recording of channels through the converter box (scrambled and unscrambled). * Using the programmable timer to record only the channel selected at the converter box. PREVENTS: * Recording one channel while watching another. * Using the VCR tuner to select channels. NOTE: To record from converter/descrambler, VCR tuner must be tuned to the converter output channel, usually channel 3 or 4. VCR TV UHF/VHF IN Incoming Cable Converter/Descrambler VHF/UHF IN (ANT) OUT ALLOWS: * Recording of nonscrambled channels. * Use of the programmable timer. * Recording an unscrambled channel while watching any channel selected at the converter box. PREVENTS: Recording scrambled channels. NOTE: If you are playing a tape or using the tuner built into the VCR, the converter must be set to the video channel output of the VCR (either 3 or 4). NOTE: Whenever a Converter/Descrambler box is placed before the VCR, you must tune the VCR to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box, usually channel 3 or 4. 12 4F10401A E P08-13 12 11/12/2001, 10:12 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 many ways to connect your VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection. VCR TV Splitter UHF/VHF A/B Switch IN Incoming Cable ALLOWS: * PREVENTS: * VHF/UHF IN (ANT) OUT Converter/Descrambler Recording of one channel while watching another.

Playback VCR VIDEO HEAD CLEANING To AUDIO OUT To VIDEO OUT AUDIO/VIDEO Cord (not supplied) Recording VCR To VIDEO IN To AUDIO IN 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. VIDEO HEAD CLEANING Playback Camcorder To AV Jack Recording VCR To VIDEO IN To AUDIO IN 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. 22 4F10401A E P20-BACK 22 11/12/2001, 10:08 BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE Make sure by first checking the following points. CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION PAGE No power.
