8. ACCESSORIES

PORTABLE CART WARNING

(symbol provided by RETAC)

Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.

The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.

8A. 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.

9. VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet 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

S3126A

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 SOURCE

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 Own-

er'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.

14. 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 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

grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the

National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, 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 require-

ments for the grounding electrode.

Introduction

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 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.

Tape

When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the video

cassette turn off the power.

Head drum

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.

Moisture condensation occurs during the

following cases.

When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a

warm place.

Notes on locating

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.

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 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 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

tapes and internal parts. Remove 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

To obtain a clear picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the

video head and the head drum 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.

Connections

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 subscribers to basic cable TV service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler

box, connect the Cable TV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the

Antenna jack on the back of the unit.

For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the

incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect

the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown

below. Set the unit to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the

If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the

use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the

cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”

position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your unit. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your

TV operation

Closed captions

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.

CLOSED CAPTION

Closed captions

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 1/2).

Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other lan-

guages 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 (captions 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.

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 unit 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.

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 eas-

ily 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.

Good picture

Snowy picture

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.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.

Notes:

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.
