should be retained for future

Heed Warnings—Comply with all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.

Polarization/Grounding—This product is equipped with either a polarized, non-polarized, or a

grounding type power cord plug. If equipped with the non-polariz-ed type (two blades of identical size),

the following does not apply.

•

A polarized power plug (two blades, one wider than the other) will fit into a power receptacle only

one way. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat it. If you are unable to insert the plug fully, try

reversing it, or have an electrician change the receptacle. If you need an extension cord, use only a

polarized extension cord.

•

A grounding type power plug (two blades and a round pin) will fit only into a grounding type

receptacle with matching openings. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat it. You may need an

electrician to install a grounding type receptacle. If you need an extension cord, use only a

grounding type extension cord.

Power Sources—This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the

product's marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer

or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to

the operating instructions.

Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of

fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged

or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or

fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or

deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.

Power-Cord Protection—Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked

on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords where they are

attached to plugs, convenience receptacles and at the point where they exit from the product.

Ventilation—Slots and openings in the enclosure are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable

operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or

covered. These openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, or another

heat source (including amplifiers). This product should not be placed in a built-in instal-lation such as a

bookcase or equipment rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the product manufacturer’s

instructions have been followed.

Attachments—Do not use attachments unless recommended by the product manufacturer as they may

cause hazards.

10 Water and Moisture—Do not use this product near water—for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,

kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool and the like.

11 Accessories—Do not place this product on an unstable surface or support. The product may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Any mounting of the product

should follow the manufacturer’s in-structions and use only a mounting accessory recommended by the

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

11AA product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be

sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section 54 of

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect to 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 following example.

13 Power Lines —An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines,

other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing

an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such

power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous

and should be left to a professional antenna installer.

Use

14 Cleaning —Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

15 Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any kind into this product

through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage or “short-out” parts

that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the

product.

16 Lightning—For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or

when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from

the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.

that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage

and will often require exten-sive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal

operation.

E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

F. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, such as the inability to perform basic

functions—this indicates a need for service.

19 Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify that the

replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of replacements

specified by the product manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Closed caption

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning

will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the

screen in English or another language (depending on the set-

ting of the Closed Captions CH 1/2).

Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Cap-

tions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are

transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the screen

with a programming schedule or other information.

After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until

it is changed, even if the channel is changed.

If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in

the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received

again. If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed

approximately 10 seconds. The Captions will appear in places

on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture,

usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually

show three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.

Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions placed

near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the

dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in

foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are

sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.

For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look

in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

Press CLOSED CAPTION to

switch between normal TV and the

two closed caption modes (cap-

tions and full screen text). Closed

captioning will display text on the

screen for hearing impaired

viewers.

NOTES:

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with

Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also

entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may

interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or

may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception

or use an outdoor antenna.

To memorize channels

This unit is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels to skip up or down to the next

channel set into memory, skipping over unwanted channels. Before selecting channels, they must be pro-

grammed into the unit’s memory. In addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this unit can receive up to 113

Cable TV channels. To use this unit with an antenna, set the TV/CATV menu option to the TV mode. When

shipped from the factory, this menu option is in the CATV mode.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture 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, have

the unit checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE

•

REAR COVER.

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.
