cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause  
hazards.  
7. 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.  
8. Accessories-Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious dam-  
age to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended  
by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should fol-  
low the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended  
by the manufacturer.  
9. Cart Usage-A 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.  
10. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation  
of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The  
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.  
This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper venti-  
lation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.  
11. Power Sources-This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the  
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your product dealer  
or local power company.  
12. Grounding or Polarization-This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is  
a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug  
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-  
pose of the polarized plug.  
13. 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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.  
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding-If an outside antenna or cable  
NEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable  
Antenna Lead-in Wire  
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 70 provides information  
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

ments for the grounding electrode.  
15. 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 sys-  
tem. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
16. Power Lines-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 fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing  
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-  
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.  
17. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can  
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Worldwide VCR Background  
GB  
“Worldwide Communication through VCR”  
Today, the Video Recorder is a major media and communication tool, used for both business and home  
entertainment. Furthermore, the emergence of the camcorder has extended the versatility of video  
enabling home video making.  
Video communication is increasingly becoming a global medium, but different TV broadcasting systems  
around the world hinder the worldwide exchange of video tapes.  
The Samsung SV-5000W overcomes the incompatibility of different TV broadcasting systems through  
sophisticated digital technology, allowing any standard VHS tape to be played on any TV, anywhere in  
the world (with free voltage).  
Worldwide TV Color System  
Many countries have different TV signal formats, with no exchangeability between them. This makes it  
impossible to play back or record tapes with different signal formats. This worldwide common VCR  
overcomes this problem by converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire.

Multi-System VCR vs Worldwide VCR

TV Broadcasting System. However, there are a few key differences:

SECAM  
PAL  
NTSC

SECAM  
With a Multi-System VCR:  
The TV must correspond to the system of the tape being  
played, otherwise, a Multi-System TV is also required;  
Tape duplication with system conversion (eg NTSC to PAL) is  
not possible.

even if the tape is of a different system;  
Tape duplication with system conversion is possible.

Tape Conversion with the Worldwide VCR  
GB  
One of the most useful functions of the Worldwide VCR is the combination of tape duplication and  
system conversion, more simply known as “Tape Conversion”. This allows the user to copy, for  
example, a SECAM tape and simultaneously convert it to PAL or NTSC. This is particularly useful for  
duplicating home video camcorder recordings and sending them to friends or relatives abroad.

Hi-Fi Audio System  
GB  
Hi-Fi and linear audio  
To provide true Hi-Fi audio sound with video entertainment and, at the same time, compatibility with regular  
VHS tapes, your VCR employs a newly-developed audio recording system.  
Hi-Fi audio signals (2-channel) are recorded deep into the tape's magnetic coating and the video signal is  
recorded on top of the audio signals in a shallower layer. At the same time, another audio head records linear  
audio signals (monaural) onto the normal audio track. With the Audio Dubbing function, it is possible to erase  
the old monaural soundtrack and record a new one.  
Tape pattern recorded with your VCR  
Hi-Fi audio recording and reproduction are  
available only from the Hi-Fi audio track,  
while the normal audio track provides  
normal audio.  
Normal audio track  
Video track (surface layer of  
the magnetic coating)  
Stereo Hi-Fi audio track (deep
