and follow this basic guide, adopted in part from Underwriter's
Laboratories Standard 1409, Second Edition, before operating
this Video product.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND BE SURE TO HEED ALL
WARNINGS on unit and in the manual, for easy maintenance,
proper and trouble free operation of this Video product.
IINsTALLAnON I
1. OPERATE FROM A POWER SOURCE INDICATED on this
Video product, or in this Manual. Your Electric Utility Service
Company or Video Products Dealer will be happy to verify
the power source in your home.
2. THE GROUNDED OR POLARIZEDPLUG IS A SAFETY FEATURE
Z_ This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized
2-wire AC line plug or a 3- wire grounding type plug. The two
wire polarized plug (having one blade wider than the other)
will fit into the power outlet only one way. If it is a three wire
grounding type plug (having a third pin), it will fit into a
grounding type outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE GROUNDED
OR POLARIZED PLUG by tampering with it. If the plug does
not fit fully into the socket, try reversing it. If you should still
be unable to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may
find that aproper outlet is needed to meet today's Electrical
Standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safely.
3. POWER SUPPLY CORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED and
routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on
Ak them, roll over them, or be subject to walking traffic or
abuse: particularly at plug-ins, convenience receptacles, or
cord exit points from the unit. Where an extension is
needed, use a grounded or polarized cord.
HAZARDOUS FRAYED CORDS OR DAMAGED PLUGS
SHOULD BE REPLACED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
OVERLOADED WALL OUTLETS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PRESENT DANGEROUS RISKS OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
4. AVOID BLOCKING VENTILATION HOLES
Z_ Your video unit has ventilation openings in its cabinet to
release heat generated during operation. Blocking these
opening can cause heat build-up inside the unit, causing
failure that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
cassettes. For protection:
a. Never cover the bottom ventilation slots or the unit with
soft material, or operate the unit placed on a bed, sofa,
rug, or soft accessory.
b. Avoid built-in installations, such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided.
5. AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN
CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE such as placing the unit
Z_ near or over a radiator, in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or
transporting it suddenly between areas
of extreme temperature variation.
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold
place to a warm place, moisture may
form on the tape and inside the unit.
6. TO AVOID INJURY TO A CHILD, ADULT;
,L OR COSTLY DAMAGE:
/,A a. Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface
or any heavy object or unit.
(Use the unit in a horizontal position and do not place
anything heavy on it.)
b. Support for the unit should be adequately firm, level, and
strong. Replace any unstable cart, table or support. An
appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

VCR Plus+ programming allows you to set most items of a timer recording by simply entering a special code found in IV GUIDE
magazine as well as the TV listings in selected newspapers. In order for the VCR to read this special code, some set up is required.
A Guide (VCR Plus+) channel number is assigned to each local broadcast and cable station. Because this number sometimes
differs from the channel your TV receives the station on, it is necessary to program the VCR with local channel information.

Check the following points once again if you are having some trouble with your VCR.
No power..
TV program can't be recorded...
Timer recording can't be performed...
There is no playback picture, or the playback picture
is noisy or contains streaks..

forth excessively...
VCR can't be controlled...
VCR can't be remote controlled...
You can't view programs normally on I V...
Video cassette can't be inserted...
Video cassette can't be removed...
Video cassette e}ects when the REC and PLAY
buttons are pushed or when the POWER button is
pushed off to set the Timer...
In the stop mode, the motor (CYLINDER) continues

Check that the Power Plug is completely inserted to an AC outlet.
Check that the POWER button is set to on.
Check the connections between the VCR, the exter_al antenl_a,
and your TV.
Check that the band selected matches your antenna or cable TV

intact. (P.5)
Set the recording start/stop times correctly. (P.20)
Make sure that the POWER button is set to off. (P.20)
Timer recording may not be performed or continued if a power

Check that channel 3 or 4 of the TV is properly adjusted.
Adjust the TRACKING control slowly in either direction. (P.17)
Set the TV's Vertical Hold Control to "MANUAL" and then adjust it.
Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an off-the-air

does not have a horizontal hold control or adjusting the control
does not help, please contact your local TV service center.
