Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this

equipment to rain or moisture.

Federal Com m unications Com m ission (FCC) W arning: Any

unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the user’s

authority to operate it.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic-

ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio

or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment

off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one

or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Magnavox recommends you use only video cassette tapes that have the

mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality and excessive

deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover if damage

occurs.

This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with exist-

ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.

Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable

TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical

Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, speci-

fying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of

the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

Tape Speeds

This chart shows the recording/playback time for three types

of video cassettes (T160, T120, and T60). There are three

playback speeds: SP, LP, and SLP. A tape will play only in the

speed in which it was recorded. When recording, you can

change the tape speed using the SPEED button. You cannot

record in LP speed.

Helpful Hints

• You cannot record one channel

while watching another.

• Recording options are on pages

25-30.

• If you pause a recording for more

than five minutes, the TV/VCR will

resume recording automatically to

protect the video cassette tape

from damage.

• You can change the tape speed

with the SPEED button while a

recording is in progress, but some

distortion may appear on the

tape.

The slower the speed, the more programming you can fit on

the tape. SLP is the slowest speed.

36 Setting V-Chip

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from

watching inappropriate material on TV.

V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news

and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable

channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then

denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets

or exceeds the limitations you select. In this case, the mes-

sage PROTECTED PROGRAM by ... appears on the TV

screen.

Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture

Association of America (MPAA) or according to the

Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inap-

propriate programming, set your limits in both places

(MPAA Rating and TV Rating).

Automatic Operation Features 41

The following playback features will always operate.

Autom atic Playback

When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come

on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback

will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not

come on automatically when you insert a tape with the

record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR

power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record

tab is missing.

Autom atic Rewind, Eject, O ff

When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end,

the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and

eject the tape.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off

(but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is

programmed, a tape cannot be ejected when the power is

off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be

sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the

timer recording.

Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent

The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you

the best possible picture quality. With some recordings,

however, you may get a better picture using the manual

tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL G/G

buttons on the TV/VCR or the CH(annel) G/G button on

the remote control during playback.

Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a

If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before

requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.

If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number

of your product before you call. This information is on the back of the product. Also, please take a

moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If

the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our representa-

tives will be happy to assist you.

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:

• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

• Avoid dusty or humid places.

• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of

the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.

• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall out-

let. Grasp it by the plug.

• If you spill water on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an autho-

rized service center.

• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.

Dew W arning (Moisture Condensation)

• Moisture may condense inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, after heating

a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture is in your TV/VCR. Playing a

tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated could damage the tape and the TV/VCR. If you sus-

pect moisture inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two

hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.

TV/VCR will not perform a tim er recording.

• Set the recording start and stop times correctly. Details are on pages 26-28. Midnight is 12 a.m. Noon is 12

p.m.

• Set the clock. Details are on pages 12-15.

• Put a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.

• With ShowGuard, you don’t have to worry about losing your timer recordings. If the power fails, timer

recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automatically if you are

using AUTO CLOCK. Details are on pages 12-13. If you are not using AUTO CLOCK, reset the clock

manually. Details are on pages 14-15.) The timer recording will not occur only if it was scheduled to take

place during the power failure.

TV/VCR will not record.

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.

• Plug the power cord into an active AC outlet. Details are on page seven.

• Check your hookups. Details are on pages six-seven.

• Set up the channels. Details are on pages eight and 10.

Channel reception is poor.

• Check connections, then set up the channels again. Details are on pages eight and 10.

POWER button on the TV/VCR. If the tape does not eject, press the STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR

three to five times. If the tape still does not eject, you may need to have an authorized servicer remove the

tape.

TV/VCR ejects the tape when you try to start a recording.

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.

The cylinder rotates when tape playback is stopped.

• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The

quick play mechanism switches the tape mechanism from Stop to Play in just one second.
