This video cassette recorder (VCR) uses “ONLY” cassette tapes, NTSC video signals (standard in US), and 120 V AC, 60 Hz (standard US household current). For future reference, record the model and serial number (located on the rear of the VCR) in the space provided. Model No.: ————————— Serial No.: ————————— WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN This symbol warns the user of uninsulated voltage within the unit that can cause dangerous electric shocks. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USERSERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. This symbol alerts the user that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit. “WARNING—FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.” Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. WARNING—Keep your VCR away from electrical and magnetic appliances which could impair performance. Be sure to position your VCR away from your TV or video monitor by at least 8(. WARNING OF DEW FORMATION Whenever your VCR is moved from a cold to a warm environment, it is important that you plug the unit in, turn the power on and allow it to sit for about 2 hours before attempting to play a tape. This period will allow any dew formation to evaporate. Failure to do so may result in tape and/or video head damage. After the 2 hour evaporation period, you may witness a “snowy” picture for the first few minutes of VCR operation. This picture noise will disappear shortly thereafter. As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR is a U.S. registered mark. ENERGY STAR® WHAT IS ENERGY STAR® TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR® models will reduce that energy "leakage" by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $500 million a year in energy savings for consumers. The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY STAR® models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year -- equivalent to eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars. By using ENERGY STAR® products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That makes good economic sense and its good for our environment.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND HEED ALL WARNINGS on your VCR and in this manual. INSTALLATION 1. Operate only from a power source indicated on your VCR or in this manual. If you are unsure of your power supply, ask your local power company. 2. As a safety feature, your VCR is equipped with either a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other) or a 3-wire grounded plug (a third pin for grounding). The 2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet. The 3-wire grounded plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet. If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug. To do so will void the safety feature. 3. Protect and route power cords so they will not be stepped on or pinched by anything placed on or against them. Be especially careful at plug-ins, convenience receptacles, or cord exit points from the VCR. Frayed power cords or damaged plugs are hazardous. Have them replaced by a qualified service technician. Overloaded wall outlets and extension cords may cause fire or electrical shock hazards. 4. Do not cover or block ventilation holes in the VCR cabinet. Doing so may damage the VCR or cassette, or cause fire. Do not place your VCR on a soft surface which could block ventilation holes on the bottom. Avoid enclosed installations such as bookshelves or racks unless ventilation is adequate. 5. Avoid excessive humidity, sudden temperature changes, or temperature extremes. Dew may form inside your VCR or on the cassette. 6. To avoid costly damage or injury, place your VCR flat on a solid, stable surface free from vibrations; do not place any heavy objects on top of it. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer; follow all instructions regarding their use exactly. 7. 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. OPERATION/CLEANING 1. Keep your VCR away from electrical and magnetic appliances which could impair performance. Be sure to position your VCR away from your TV or video monitor by at least 8(. 2. Keep your VCR away from wet locations such as bathtubs, sinks, laundries, wet basements, and swimming pools. 3. Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid fire, shock or other hazards. 4. If your VCR has been exposed to rain, moisture or strong impact, unplug it and have it inspected by a qualified service technician before resuming use. 5. Unplug your VCR and disconnect it from the antenna and/or cable system during a lightning storm or an extended period of discontinued use. 6. Unplug your VCR before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use cleaning fluids or aerosols which could enter the unit and cause damage, fire, or electrical shock. These substances may also mar the finish of your VCR. 7. Never open or remove covers or make any adjustments not described in this manual. Attempting to do so could expose you to dangerous electrical shock or other hazards. It may also cause serious damage to your VCR. Dimensions: 257 2 182 mm General Information IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS VC-H818U (01-10) Printelligence (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS 8. Keep liquids and foreign objects away from your VCR. Never operate your VCR if any liquid or foreign object has entered it. Electrical shorts could result and possibly cause fire or shock hazards. Unplug your VCR immediately and have it inspected by a qualified service technician. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING AND POWER LINES 1. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your VCR, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded, thus providing some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See diagram below. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANTENNA LEAD-IN WIRE GROUND CLAMP ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810–20) ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810–21) GROUND CLAMPS NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) 2. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from coming into contact with power lines or circuits; contact with them might be fatal. SERVICE 1. Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a qualified service technician. (See LIMITED WARRANTY at the end of this manual.) 2. Be sure the service technician uses authorized replacement parts or their equivalents. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards. 3. Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs safety checks to certify that your VCR is in safe operating order. OTHERS 1. It is the intent of Sharp that this product be used in full compliance with the copyright laws of the United States and that prior permission be obtained from copyright owners whenever necessary. 2. Normally, your VCR does not require head cleaning. However, the heads may become clogged when an old or damaged tape is used. If the playback picture becomes blurred, the heads may need cleaning. Head cleaning should be performed by a qualified technician. Contact the nearest Sharp Factory Service Center or Authorized Service Station. Do not use a cleaning tape unless it is new and of high quality. Excessive use of cleaning tapes may also damage the heads. Dimensions: 257 2 182 mm VC-H818U (01-10) Printelligence (Malaysia) Sdn.
