S3126A
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure
reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This unit should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For
units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the respective pages on this Owner’s
Manual for their operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is 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. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your unit may be
equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into
a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. 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 appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from 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
unit due to lightning and power line surges.

light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits,
as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is

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.
18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
For example:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result
in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its
normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f.
When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20. SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
22. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
23. DISC TRAY
Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury.
24. CONNECTING
When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from
the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's
manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.

Precautions
Notes on handling
Notes on moisture condensation
When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton
and packing materials come in handy. For maximum
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed
at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave
marks on the finish.
Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please
read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the head drum or the optical
pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the unit.
The top and rear panels of the unit may become
warm after a long period of use.This is not a
malfunction.
o
f
n
s
Tape
When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and the video cassette turn off the power.
If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and
use the unit occasionally.
Head drum
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
Notes on locating
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
Place the unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a
shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or
inclined stand. The loaded disc or the video tape may
come off the proper position and cause damage to
the unit.
When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,
the playback picture may become poor and the sound
may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away
from the TV, radio, or VCR.
When you use the unit in a room where you just
turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind
from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the unit in a humid place.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the unit.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product’s instructions.
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc or the video
tape, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall
outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three
hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the
unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
To obtain a clear picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the
video head, the head drum, the optical pick-up lens and
disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture
quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of
use depending on the operating environment. For
details, contact your nearest dealer.

Cable TV Connections
This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some
cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.
For subscriber to basic cable TV service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the unit.

The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom

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

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
Notes:
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.
•
If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the
Closed Caption Decoder text may not appear.
In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an
outdoor antenna.
•
When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be
a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears on
the screen.
Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it
is available.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played
back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.
The Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue (Fast
Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and Pause
Modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.
•
•
•
•
If the Call display is on, the Closed Captioning text will not
appear.
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.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press CLOSED CAPTION on the remote control to switch
between normal TV and the two Closed Caption Modes
(Captions and Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text
on the screen in English or another language (depending
on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted
on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
•
•
Some cable systems and copy protection systems may
interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
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 ap-
proximately 10 seconds.

The starting point can be indexed for any location on the tape
by pressing COUNTER RESET and ZERO RETURN.
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 de-
termined 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.

Video head cleaning
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture
becomes unclear.This signifies that the heads are getting dirty
and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If
the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality
chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them
cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the
unit once does not improve the picture, play it several times
before requesting service.
Before playback or recording, press COUNTER
RESET to set the counter to “00:00:00”.

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 re-
placed when they fail to produce clear pictures.
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality
VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Reception disturbances
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna.
Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interference are shown below.
If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the
local Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps or
AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct
path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large objects.
Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
SNOW
If the TV/VCR/DVD is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area
where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external antenna may
be necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving ripples or
diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of contrast in the
picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna or installing an RFI
filter may improve the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or
BRIGHTNESS settings.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution
when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
