13 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.  
18 When replacement parts are required, be  
sure the service technician has used replace-  
ment parts specified by the manufacturer  
that have the same characteristics as the  
original part. Unauthorized substitutions  
may result in fire, electric shock or other  
hazards.  
19 Upon completion of any service or repairs to  
this TV/VCR Combination, ask the service  
technician to perform safety checks to deter-  
mine that the television is in a safe operating  
condition.

cords as this can result in fire or electric  
shock.

TV/VCR Combination through openings as  
they may touch dangerous voltage points or  
short-out parts that could result in a fire or  
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind  
on the TV/VCR Combination.  
20 If an outside antenna or cable system is con-  
nected to the television receiver, be sure the  
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to  
provide some protection against voltage  
surges and built-up static charges.  
16 Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR  
Combination yourself as opening or remov-  
ing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing  
to qualified service personnel.  
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA N0.70-1984, provides informa-  
tion 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.  
17 Unplug this TV/VCR Combination from the  
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following condi-  
tions:  
(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is  
damaged or frayed.  
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have  
fallen into the TV/VCR Combination.  
(c) If the TV/VCR Combination has been  
exposed to rain or water.  
(d) If the TV/VCR Combination does not  
operate normally by following the oper-  
ating instructions. Adjust only those con-  
trols 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  
TV/VCR Combination to its normal  
operation.  
(e) If the TV/VCR Combination has been  
dropped or the cabinet has been dam-  
aged.  
(f) When the TV/VCR Combination exhibits  
a distinct change in performance - this  
indicates a need for service.

Dear Customer :  
CurtisMathes would like to thank you for choosing this TV/VCR combination. It incorporates a host of features  
designed to give you excellent performance for many years to come.  
We realize that you’re eager to turn it on and begin enjoying the high-quality pictures it delivers just as quickly as  
possible, but we ask you to take a few minutes to read the instructions in the booklet to familiarize yourself with the  
receiver, its functions and some features which may be new to you. If you follow the instructions, this unit should  
give you many years of viewing pleasure.  
If for any reason it does not, we want to hear about it. Please write to us at the address above. CurtisMathes always  
welcomes comments and suggestions on this or any of our other products.  
On the other hand, when you discover the enjoyment, reliability and ease of use that is built into it, we hope that  
you will tell your friends, and consider CurtisMathes when you make your next purchase of home entertainment  
equipment.  
In addition to TV/VCR combination, CurtisMathes produces a full line of audiovisual products built to the same  
high design, engineering, and manufacturing standards as this unit.  
Here are a few tips that will keep your TV/VCR Combination looking great and performing for years to come:  
• Avoid putting it in excessively hot locations. Damage to the cabinet or premature component failures can result.  
• There are ventilation holes in the bottom and rear of the cabinet. Make sure that they remain unobstructed. Do  
not place the receiver on top of a thick cloth.  
• If you don’t plan to use the receiver for several days, it’s a good idea to unplug it from the power outlet.  
• Many common household cleaning agents, sprays, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the  
surface of the cabinet. The best cleaning agents are mild soap and a damp cloth.  
Again, thank you for choosing this CurtisMathes product. We have employed advanced engineering techniques in  
its design, and manufactured it in one of the world’s most up-to-date production facilities. The result is a TV/VCR  
Combination that we know you will be as proud to own as we were to create.

Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination  
Your TV/VCR Combination will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to  
an external antenna or cable system. Follow the directions below to make this connection.  
Please note that you will normally only have to make one of the connections shown below,  
not all of them.  
All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR  
Combination. The antenna terminal is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic  
tabs. For help in locating the antenna terminal, see “Your TV/VCR Combination's Back  
Panel” on page 5.  
There is no antenna provided with your TV/VCR Combination.  
Connecting an Antenna  
If your antenna ends in a single coaxial lead,  
simply press or screw the cable onto the antenna  
terminal on the back of your TV/VCR  
Combination.  
If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-ohm  
adaptor. (An adaptor is included with your 19” TV/VCR Combination.) Place the leads under-  
neath the screws on the adaptor, tighten the screws, then press the adaptor onto the antenna  
terminal on the back of the TV/VCR Combination Combination.

Antennas with two sets of leads  
You might have two sets of leads from your antenna system, especially if you have one anten-  
na for VHF signals and one antenna for UHF signals.  
If your antenna system has both a coaxial lead and twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a  
combiner (available at your local electronics store). Press or screw the coaxial lead onto the  
combiner; place the twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner and tighten the screws.  
Press the cable from combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV/VCR  
Combination.  
If your antenna system has two sets of twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a combiner  
(available at your local electronics store). Place one set of twin leads underneath the screws on  
the combiner and tighten the screws. Do the same with the other set of twin leads. Press the  
cable from the combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR  
Combination.

Connecting a Cable System  
If your cable set-up is not described below, please contact your cable company for more infor-  
mation.  
If your cable system does not require the use of a  
cable box, simply press or screw the incoming cable  
onto the antenna terminal on the back your TV/VCR  
Combination.  
If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels, connect the  
incoming cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable between the  
OUT terminal on the converter box and the antenna terminal on the TV/VCR Combination.  
You will need to keep your TV/VCR Combination tuned to channel 3 or 4 and change chan-  
nels using the converter box.  
Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination 11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i. e.  
pay-TV channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this  
cable into a splitter (available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial cable  
between one OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect  
another coaxial cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on  
an A/B switch (available at your local electronics store.) Connect a third coaxial cable  
between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the B-IN terminal on the A/B switch.  
Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the A/B switch and the antenna  
terminal on the back of your TV/VCR Combination.  
When the A/B switch is in the A position, you can change channels on the TV/VCR  
Combination; when the A/B switch is in the B position, you, need to change channels on the  
converter box (and your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4)  
Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment  
You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of equip-  
ment to your TV/VCR Combination. We recommend that you follow the instructions included  
with the piece of equipment you wish to connect.  
If you connect other pieces of equipment to your TV/VCR Combination using the audio/video  
jacks on the front panel, you will need to use the TV/LINE button on the remote control to  
view the signal coming through these jacks. See page 41 for more information.  
Safety Notes  
If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thunder-  
storm is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect

1. With the TV on, press the MENU button until “Set-Up” menu is displayed.  
2. Use the VCHW buttons to select “Reception”, then use the VOLB button to select ‘Air’  
or ‘Cable’. If you connected an antenna to your TV/VCR Combination, select ‘Air’; If you  
connected a cable system, select ‘Cable’.  
3. Use the VCHW buttons to select “Memorize Channels”, then use the VOLB button to  
enter the “Memorize Channels” process.  
4. Press the MENU button to return to Set-Up menu.  
5. Press the MENU button to return to normal TV viewing.  
Your TV/VCR Combination's channel memory will not be affected by a power outage. You  
will not need to re-program the memory unless you change the type of cable or antenna con-  
nected to your TV/VCR Combination.

Operating Your VCR  
Your TV/VCR Combination has built-in VCR playback and recording capabilities, offering  
the ultimate in VCR convenience. This chapter explains the basic of using the VCR features  
of your unit.  
Video Cassette Tapes  
Your VCR uses VHS tapes. Only use  
tapes that have the official VHS mark:  
Tape length/tape speed  
VHS tapes come in different lengths, which, along with the tape speed, determine how much  
program time you can put on one tape. The following chart shows the maximum recording/  
playback time for each type of tape and each tape speed.

Protecting your tapes  
You can protect your tapes by removing the erasure prevention tab on the back of the tape.  
When this tab is removed, VCR cannot record over it. To once again be able to record on a  
tape with its tab removed, simply place a piece of tape over the space left by the removed tab.  
Inserting a Tape  
To insert a tape into your TV/VCR Combination, hold it  
so that the windows on the tape face up, and the label of  
the tape faces away from the TV/VCR Combination.  
Gently place the tape in the cassette compartment and  
push it in slowly. Once it is in the compartment part-way,  
the TV/VCR Combination will pull the tape the rest of the  
way.  
You can insert a tape into your TV/VCR Combination even when it is turned off. If the tape  
has its erasure prevention tab removed, the TV/VCR Combination will turn on and begin  
playing the tape.  
Ejecting a tape  
To remove a tape from the compartment, press the STOP/EJECT button on the front panel or  
on the remote control. The TV/VCR Combination will eject the tape part-way. Grasp the cas-  
sette and remove the tape from the TV/VCR Combination.

Tracking  
“Tracking” is a term that describes how the TV/VCR Combination “locks on” to the signal  
recorded on the tape. If the TV/VCR Combination is not tracking correctly, the picture during  
playback will be jumpy and distorted.

can perfectly track a tape’s signal without adjustment from the user.  
On some rare occasions, though, manual tracking may be required. To manually track a tape:  
1. Begin playing back a tape.  
2. Press and hold down the CH buttons on the remote control, one at a time. Adjust the track-  
ing using these buttons until the picture is no longer distorted.  
Basic Recording  
Your TV/VCR Combination makes it easy to record a program you are watching. To do this :  
1. Place the tape on which you want to record in the cassette compartment. Fast forward or  
rewind to the point where you want to begin recording.  
2. Tune to the channel you want to record.  
3. Press the SPEED button repeatedly to select the tape speed at which you want to record :  
SP or EP  
4. Press the REC/OTR button once. The tape will start recording the channel you are watch-  
ing, and also add an index mark. The REC light on the front panel will light on red during  
recording.  
If the tape has its erasure prevention tab removed, the tape will eject when your press  
REC/OTR button.  
5. Press STOP/EJECT to stop recording.

Many TV shows contain “closed captions”. These captions are hidden words that can be dis-  
played on your TV/VCR Combination screen. There are two types of these words : “captions”  
usually follow the action on-screen, providing a written version of the dialogue, narration, and  
sound effects; “text” is not usually related to the action on-screen, often providing information  
such as news or weather. A TV program might be providing more than one set of captions or  
one set of text.  
To set your TV/VCR Combination to display captions or text:  
1. With the TV/VCR Combination turned on, press the MENU button until “Special” menu is  
displayed.  
2. The “Closed Caption” item be selected. To turn captioning on, use the VOLB button to  
select Captions (CC1 or CC2) or Text (TEXT1, TEXT2)  
At the time these instructions were written, only CC1 was normally available, but feel free  
to try the other selections.  
3. Press the MENU button to return to normal TV viewing.  
Your setting will remain intact until you change it.

Additional VCR Features  
Programming to Record at a Later Time  
One of the most convenient features of your new TV/VCR Combination is the ability to  
record programs when you are not home. Your TV/VCR Combination can be set to record up  
to six different programs at any time up to a month from now.  
Getting ready  
Before programming to record, keep the following things in mind :  
• There must be a tape in the cassette compartment with its erasure prevention tab intact. The  
tape should be rewound or fast forward to the point where you want to begin recording.  
• The clock must be set correctly.  
• You should plan your programming sessions. If you program sessions that overlap, at least  
one of your sessions will not be recorded correctly.  
• The VCR buttons (PLAY, REW, FF) do not work during recording.

Index Search (VISS)  
Your TV/VCR Combination is equipped with the VHS Index Search System, or VISS. The  
VISS allows “index marks” to be placed on a video tape. These marks are similar to bookmarks  
- you can use the search system to quickly find these marks, and thereby find a point on the tape  
quickly.  
Your TV/VCR Combination automatically places an index mark on the tape every time it  
begins a recording session. Therefore, if you record six programs at six different times on a  
tape, there will be six index marks on the tape.  
To search for an index mark:  
1. Place a tape with index marks in your TV/VCR Combination.  
2. If the index mark is ahead on the tape, press the VISS+ button; if the index mark is behind  
on the tape, press VISS- button. The tape will fast forward or rewind (without picture) until  
it finds the index mark. Then, it will begin playing.  
3. You can search further than the next index mark. For example, if you know that the show  
you want is three index marks behind, you can press the VISS- button three times. The  
TV/VCR Combination will search for the third index mark, then begin playing.  
VCRs and TV/VCRs from other manufacturers sometimes use the same VISS system.  
Therefore, you may be able to search for index marks on tapes that were recorded on other  
VCRs.  
Your TV/VCR Combination cannot detect index marks unless they are least at one minute  
apart on the tape.

1. Connect a audio cable from the AUDIO OUT jack on the VCR to the AUDIO jack on the  
front of your TV/VCR Combination.  
2. Connect a video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR to the VIDEO jack on the  
front of your TV/VCR Combination.
