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 digi-

tal 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 particular installa-

tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-

tion, 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 mea-

sures:

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 videotapes 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 existing 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, specifying that the cable ground shall

be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable

entry as possible.

32 Setting V-Chip

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from

watching inappropriate material on TV.

POWER

SLEEP/WAKE UP

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. The viewer must select a different TV channel or

watch a videotape instead.

V-CHIP also blocks viewing of tapes that you record on this

TV/VCR, if the recorded TV program’s rating exceeds your

V-CHIP settings.

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).

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 vents on the TV/VCR. Do not place the

TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the vents.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

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

• Do not move the TV/VCR suddenly 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.
