Safety
Important Safety Instructions
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and maintenance instructions should be followed.
CLEANING - Unplug this video unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for
dusting cabinet.
6.
7.
ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the video product manufacturer, as they may be hazardous.
WATER & MOISTURE - Do not use this video unit near water—for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a
wet basement, near a swimming pool or the like.
8.
ACCESSORIES - Do not place this video unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The video unit may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the video unit. Any mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
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 are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the video unit and to
protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never place your VCR on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface, on or near a radiator or heat register. This video 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 video unit 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 supply to your home consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For video units intended to be
operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This video unit may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other) or a 3-wire grounding plug having a third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized 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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized 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 of plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the unit.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
(Symbol provided by RETAC)
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video 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, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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 figure below.
SAFETY v

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection of this video unit 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 video unit due to
lightning and power line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, 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 circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
17. OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS - Never push objects
of any kind into this video unit through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquids of any kind onto the unit. Should spillage occur, unplug unit and have it checked by a technician
before use.
18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this video unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to a dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this video unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If any liquid has been spilled onto or objects have fallen into the video unit.
c. If the video unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the video unit to its normal operation.
e. If the video unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the video unit exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates
a need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or those having the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock
or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this video unit ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the video unit is in safe operating
order.
22. HEAT - This video unit should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

Complete Program Record
Complete Program Record, or
CPR, helps to ensure you
won’t run out of tape before
your Timer Recording is
complete. When Auto is
selected, the Timer event
begins to record in SP; the
VCR then calculates how
much time is remaining on the
tape and adjusts the record
speed to SLP if necessary to fit
the entire event. If there is not
enough tape to record the
entire event, the VCR will
record in SLP until the end of
the tape is reached.

Appendix B - Help
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The following are some of the
most frequently asked questions
about our Dual-Deck VCRs.
Why am I not getting a picture?
• Make sure the TV/VCR button on the front panel is set to VCR (the VCR icon on the front panel display
should be on).
• Make sure your TV is set to the same channel (3 or 4) as the switch on the back of your VCR.
If you don’t find the answers you
need here, you can contact our
Customer Service Department as
follows:
Why is the picture quality poor?
• Change the channel switch on the back of the VCR, i.e. if it’s set to 3 change it to 4. Then make sure your TV
is set to the same channel.
• If the picture is bad while playing a tape, try adjusting the tracking control. Press the “Auto” button (Auto-
matic Tracking) or the TRK up/down arrows (Manual Tracking) on the remote while the tape is playing.
• The video heads may be dirty; try cleaning the heads with a nonabrasive head cleaning tape.
• Phone: (480) 922-0896
• Office hours:
Monday-Friday, 6:00 a.m.
to 9:00 p.m. MST
Saturday-Sunday, 8:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. MST
Why can’t I record from my cable box?
• Make sure the VCR is tuned to the cable box output channel (2, 3, or 4). Confirm this channel with your
local cable provider.
• E-Mail: “customerservice@
sensoryscience.com”
• Web: “www.govideo.com”
or “www.sensoryscience.
com”. Our website in-
cludes downloadable
manuals and spec sheets as
well as a listing of autho-
rized Go-Video service
centers.
Why can’t I Timer Record?
• Make sure the clock is set to the correct time, and the AM/PM adjustment is set correctly.
• If you have a cable box, make sure the Record Source is set to the cable box output channel (2, 3, or 4), and
that the cable box is set to the channel you wish to record.
APPENDIX B - HELP 85
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Why isn’t my remote control working?
• Make sure you are pointing the remote control directly at the VCR and that there are no obstacles between
the remote control and VCR. Sunlight on the VCR front panel can sometimes interfere with the remote
signal.
• Make sure the batteries in your remote are fresh and installed properly.
• The “TV” button may have been pressed by accident. This makes the remote control only operate the
television. Press the VCR key on the remote and try again.
Why do my tapes record at different speeds when I use Copy Tape?
Because Speed Matching is “Off” in the Copy & Record Settings menu. Turn Speed Matching “On” to guaran-
tee that the recording speed of the copy will match the playback speed of the source tape.
Why does the tape eject when I use Copy Tape or put a tape in to record?
Make sure the Record Safety Tab has not been removed from your tape. If the tab is missing, you can place a
small piece of tape over the opening.
Why does the tape sometimes play or rewind when I don’t want it to?
• Turn Auto Play/Rewind off in the Dual-Deck Features menu. When this feature is turned on, the VCR will
automatically play tapes whenever you load them and/or rewind tapes when they reach the end.
• Turn EZ-Copy off in the Copy and Record Settings menu. When EZ-Copy is turned on, both decks will
automatically rewind before and after recording when you press Copy Tape.
86 DUAL-DECK USER’S GUIDE
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Why does my on-screen display show “Error”?
This indicates a problem with the VCR tape mechanism. Turn the power off and on again to reset. If this does
not clear the error, unplug the VCR from the power outlet and inspect both tape slots for foreign objects, or for
jammed or crooked tapes.
Why can’t I eject a tape using my remote?
• Make sure Remote Eject is turned “On” in the Dual-Deck Features menu.
• If you have programmed scenes for editing in the 8-Scene Edit List, you cannot eject the tape in Deck 1 with
the remote control. This protects you from losing your scene programming. You can either clear the scenes
from the Edit List or press Stop/Eject on the front panel, which erases the scenes automatically.
Why can’t I reset the Deck 1 tape counter?
• If you have programmed scenes for editing in the 8-Scene Edit List, you cannot reset the Deck 1 tape
counter. This protects you from losing your scene programming. You can either clear the scenes from the
Edit List or press Stop/Eject on the front panel, which erases the scenes automatically.
Why doesn’t my VCR work?
• A strong static electricity shock or other unforeseen circumstances may cause the control system of your
Dual-Deck VCR to lock up. To reset the control system, first unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for
10 seconds and plug it in again.
• If this doesn’t restore all operations to normal, unplug the VCR again for 15 minutes. You will then need to
reset the clock (if the clock is still set, you haven’t unplugged it long enough).
• If these steps do not correct the problem, the Dual-Deck VCR must be serviced by an authorized service
center.
APPENDIX B - HELP 87
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Why can’t I bring up the 8-Scene Edit List?
• Insert a tape in Deck 1. The VCR must have a tape in Deck 1 for the 8-Scene Edit List to appear.
• 8-Scene Edit List is not available during Copy Tape.
Why aren’t the tape counters moving?
If the VCR is playing a blank section of tape (only video noise, or “snow” appears on-screen), the tape counter
cannot operate. The VCR requires a control track, which is only present on recorded tape, to provide counter
information.
Why can’t I get a Menu or an On-Screen Display?
• If the VCR is playing a blank section of tape (only video noise, or “snow” appears on-screen), the VCR
cannot produce on-screen menus or displays. Stop the tape or record on it to enable the displays.
• The remote may be set to control the TV instead of the VCR. Press the VCR button on your remote to reacti-
vate it.
• If the Date/Time Stamp is set to “Cont” (Continuous) and a recording is in progress, the on-screen menus and
displays are disabled. Press Stop on the recording deck to restore normal on-screen functions.
Why do I get a blue screen?
• If a channel is too weak to deliver a clear picture, the VCR will display a blue screen in its place. To see
channels with poor reception, turn on the Show Weak Channels feature in the Tuner and Channel List menu.
• Double-check your antenna connections or tuner settings.
Why is my Power button blinking?
The VCR is in Auto Power Off mode. If you press the Power button while rewinding, copying, Timer Record-
ing, One-Touch Recording or using EZ-Copy, the VCR will automatically turn off when the function is com-
pleted. Pressing the Power button toggles Auto Power On and Off.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Why is my Copy Tape button blinking?
This indicates that the deck is in Pause mode while copying a tape. See Sync Editing on page 64.
Why won’t my remote operate all my TV functions?
The remote control does not have a command for every function on your television. Some brands of television
will only respond to a limited number of functions. See the table on page 84 for a list of common brands and
functions.
