Important Safety Information, continued  
Do not place the TV/VCR on an unstable cart,  
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV/VCR 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 recom-  
Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not  
be placed 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, be extremely  
careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact  
with such lines can be fatal.  
mended by the manufacturer or sold with the  
TV/VCR. Follow the manufacturers instructions  
when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recom-  
mended by the manufacturer. Move the TV/VCR and its cart with  
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may  
cause the unit and cart to overturn.  
Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading  
can result in fire or electric shock.  
Do not insert foreign objects through openings in the unit, as they  
may touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill  
liquid of any kind on the TV/VCR.  
Operate your TV/VCR only from the type of power source indicated  
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power  
supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local  
power company.  
Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this  
TV/VCR is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug  
having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully  
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesnt fit,  
contact your electrician to replace your outlet.  
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so  
that they are unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed  
on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, con-  
venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.  
Unplug the TV/VCR from the wall outlet and disconnect the  
antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left  
unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent  
damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Information, continued  
Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is  
connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as 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.  
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that  
are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls  
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the TV/VCR to normal.  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer  
or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the  
unit.  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV/VCR, ask the  
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the  
TV/VCR is in a safe operating condition.  
Do not attempt to service the TV/VCR yourself. Refer all servicing to  
qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and  
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
– when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged  
– if liquid has been spilled on or objects have fallen into the unit  
– if the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water  
– if the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the  
operating instructions  
– if the TV/VCR has been dropped or the cabinet has been  
damaged  
– when the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in performance

must connect an antenna to your  
TV/VCR. First you need to identify  
your antennas lead type:  
Flat Twin Leads  
Round Leads  
1 Plug the lead into the  
terminal on the rear panel of  
the TV/VCR.  
If you use a different 300-ohm  
antenna with twin flat leads,  
follow the directions below, but  
skip step 1.  
If you are using the antenna  
that has 300-ohm twin flat  
leads, (see the illustration  
below) see “Antennas With  
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads,”on  
this page.  
1 Push the stem of the rod  
antenna into the antenna  
mount.  
3 Plug the adapter into the  
terminal on the rear panel of  
the TV/VCR.  
Separate VHF and UHF  
If your antenna has a 75-ohm  
round lead (see the  
illustration below), see  
Antennas With 75-ohm  
Round Leads,” on this page.  
Antennas  
If you have two separate anten-  
nas for your TV/VCR (one VHF  
and one UHF), you must combine  
the two antenna signals before  
connecting them to the TV/VCR.  
This procedure requires a com-  
biner attachment that you can  
purchase at an electronics  
store.  
Extend the antenna and  
adjust it for the clearest  
picture.To reduce the risk of  
damage, only adjust the  
antenna by moving the black  
plastic base.  
If you have two antennas,  
see “Separate VHF and UHF  
Antennas,” on this page.

Caring for Your TV/VCR  
About Video Tapes  
Recording at slower tape  
speeds allows tapes to hold  
more program material.  
Cabinet  
Please follow these guidelines  
to get the maximum  
performance from your TV/VCR.  
Use only video tapes marked  
VHS with this TV/VCR.  
Never open the cabinet or  
touch the parts inside.  
Wipe your TV/VCR with a  
clean, dry cloth. Never use  
water, cleaning fluids, wax,  
or chemicals.  
Caring for Video Tapes  
TAPE SP

Placement  
Keep tapes away from direct  
sunlight, heat or cold.  
Insert tapes with the window  
side up and the arrow  
pointing away from you.  
Do not subject tapes to  
violent vibrations or shocks.  
Never try to take apart or  
splice a video tape.  
Do not open the cassette,  
touch the tape, or put  
anything inside the tape  
case.  
T-60 1 hr. 3 hrs.

Do not place the TV/VCR near  
extremely hot, cold, humid or  
dusty places.  
Do not put heavy objects on  
top of the cabinet.  
Do not place the TV/VCR near  
appliances with electric  
motors that create magnetic  
fields, such as vacuum  
cleaners.  
The Record Safety Tab  
Most video tapes have a safety  
tab that must be intact to record.  
To protect a tape from erasure,  
you can break off the tab.  
Video Heads  
Use a head cleaning tape to  
remove any dirt that has  
accumulated on the video  
heads.  
Keep the ventilation openings  
clear; do not place the  
TV/VCR on a soft surface,  
such as cloth or paper.  
Place the TV/VCR in an  
upright position only.  
Follow the instructions that  
come with the cleaning tape;  
excessive use of a cleaning  
tape can shorten head life.  
Read the instructions  
supplied with video tapes.  
To record on a cassette with the  
tab removed, cover the hole  
with cellophane tape.  
Temperature  
Liquids  
Recording Speeds  
If your TV/VCR is moved from a  
cold to a warm place, unplug the  
power cord, and allow at least  
two hours for moisture that may  
have formed inside the unit to  
dry completely.  
Do not handle liquids near or on  
the TV/VCR. Liquids that spill  
into it can cause serious  
damage.  
You can play or record a tape at:  
SP (Standard Play) speed  
SLP (Super Long Play) speed  
Your TV/VCR automatically plays  
tapes at the proper speed.
