this manual. If necessary, have your Electbe Utility Service

Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power source

in your home.

2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG

As asafety feature, this Video product comes with either

a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the

other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION;

This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot

fully insed the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit,

have an electrician install the proper wall outlet.

DO not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

This plug will only fit into a three-hote grounding outlet.

If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet.

Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

3 POWER CORD

Make sure power cords are routed so that they are not likely

to have anything rest on them, roll over them, or be in the

way of walking traffic. If an extension cord is.used, make

sure it also has either a polarized or grounded plug and that

the cords can be securely connected. Frayed cords damaged

pugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous

and should be replaced by a qualified service technician.

Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and

should be avoided.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated

during operation. If they are blocked, heat build-up inside the

unit can cause failures that may result in a fire hazard or

heat damage to cassettes.

For protection, follow these rules:

a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit

while in use, or operate the unit when placed

on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft sudace.

b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case

or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.

5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater

or regulator, in direct sunlight, inside a closed vehicle, etc..

DO not move the unit suddenly between areas of extreme

temperature vedation. If the unit is suddenly moved from a

cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense in the

unit and on the tape.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface.

• Do not place this unit on any support

that is not firm, level, and adequately A

strong. The unit could fall causing

serious injury to a child or adult and

damage to the unit,

• 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.

size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection

to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES

OR CIRCUITS

An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,

electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with

these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside

antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines,

circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the

hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional

I Cleaning pe II

•Follow cleaning tape instructions carefully.

Excessive use of tape can shorten head life.

• If head clog symptoms persist, contact your

nearest Factory Service Center or authorized

Service Center. (See page 45.)

A clean video head helps produce a clear

picture.

So, we have equipped your VCR with a built-

in, non-chemical head cleaning system that

helps prevent clogging of the video heads.

Cleaning is performed each time you load or

unload a video cassette.

• This feature is preventative only, If your video

heads are seriously clogged, consider the use

of a chemical non-abrasive head cleaning kit or

take your VCR to a Service Center.

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of

your vacuum cleaner to dust your VCR.

Remove dust from the ventilation holes on

the back sides and bottom of the cabinet.

Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and

can be marred by alcohol and various

solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based

furniture polishes since the materials used

in the cabinet will accumulate more dust.

We recommend using a nonabrasive,

antistatic cleaner and polisher.
