9. VENTILATION  
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of  
the unit, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings  
should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never  
be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This 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 SOURCE  
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure  
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units  
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the respective pages on this Owner’s Manual  
for their operating instructions.  
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION  
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).  
This 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 should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your  
obsolete outlet. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your unit may be equipped with a 3-wire  
grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power  
outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to  
replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type 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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the appliance.  
13. LIGHTNING  
To protect your unit from 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 unit  
due to lightning and power line surges.  
14. POWER LINES  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or  
power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against 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.  
15. OVERLOADING  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY  
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out  
parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.  
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the 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 (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, 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.  
18. SERVICING  
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage  
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
For example:  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

AUTO CLOCK SETTING  
The Auto Clock function will automatically set the built-in clock (Month, Day, Year and Time) when the TV/VCR is  
connected to an Antenna or Cable system and it is turned off. As the TV/VCR searches for a receivable station in  
your area and it receives a broadcast signal for Auto Clock, the Auto Clock needs several minutes to set itself.  
AUTO CLOCK SETTING  
1. Connect the Antenna or Cable system.  
• If you use a cable box, turn it on.  
2. Plug the AC Power cord to the AC outlet.  
3. Make sure the TV/VCR is turned off.  
• If you press the POWER button, the Auto Clock set is not effective.  
4. Wait at least three minutes and press the POWER button.  
5. Press the CALL button to check the clock on the screen.  
6. If the clock is not set, check the Antenna condition. The Auto Clock may not function properly if the reception  
condition is not good.  
AUTO CLOCK ADJUSTMENT  
The Auto Clock Adjustment will be performed at 12:00 PM everyday if you turn off the TV/VCR.  
• If you use a cable box and you want Auto Clock adjustment to be performed, the cable box must be left on.  
• The Auto Clock Adjustment is not effective when there is a difference of more than 5 minutes exists between  
the built-in clock time and the actual time.  
TO SET AUTO CLOCK TO OFF  
When shipped from factory the AUTO CLOCK option is set to ON.  
But if you do not want Auto Clock set (Adjustment):  
1. Turn on the TV/VCR.  
2. Press the MENU button.  
3. Press the SET/TR + or – button to select the SYSTEM SETUP option, then press the ENTER button.  
4. Press the SET/TR + or – button to select the AUTO CLOCK option.  
5. Press the ENTER button to select OFF.  
6. Press the MENU button repeatedly to return to the normal screen.  
• When the AUTO CLOCK is set to OFF, the Auto Clock adjustment does not function.  
• Set the clock manually (see page 17).  
TO SET STANDARD TIME  
In the rare event that you live within broadcast range of two stations in two different time zones, the TV/VCR may  
recognize the wrong station for the Auto Clock set.  
To correct the situation:  
1. Press the MENU button.  
2. Press the SET/TR + or – button to select the SYSTEM SETUP option, then press the ENTER button.  
3. Press the SET/TR + or – button to select the STANDARD TIME option, then press the ENTER button.

NOTES: • If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder text may not appear.  
In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.  
• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text  
appears on the screen.  
• Closed Captioned TV programs can be recorded and played back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.  
The Closed Captioning text will disappear during Cue, Rewind and Pause modes or if the VCR tracking is not  
adjusted properly.  
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.

• If the Call display is on, the Closed Captioning text will not appear.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the  
screen with a programming schedule or other information.  
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in  
effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.  
If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a  
break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the  
signal is received again.  
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?  
This television has the capability to decode and display  
Closed Captioned television programs. Closed  
Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing  
impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in  
another language.  
If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed  
approximately 10 seconds.  
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR  
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played  
back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.  
The Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue  
(Fast Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and  
Pause Modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted  
properly.  
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where  
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the  
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show  
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.  
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions  
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer  
can follow the dialogue.  
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS  
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in  
foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words  
that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.  
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Cap-  
tions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions  
symbol (CC).  
Press the CLOSED CAPTION button on the remote  
control to switch between normal TV and the two Closed  
Caption Modes (Captions and Full Screen Text).  
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text  
on the screen in English or another language (depend-  
ing on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 2).  
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted  
on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other  
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.  
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.  
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with  
Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also  
entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.  
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may  
interfere with Closed Captions.  
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or  
may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception  
or use an outdoor antenna.

TO MEMORIZE CHANNELS  
This TV/VCR is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels to skip up or down to the  
next channel set into memory, skipping over unwanted channels. Before selecting channels, they must be  
programmed into the TV/VCR’s memory. In addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV/VCR can  
receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To use this TV/VCR with an antenna, set the TV/CATV menu option to  
the TV mode. When shipped from the factory, this menu option is in the CATV mode.

RECEPTION DISTURBANCES  
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF  
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interfer-  
ence are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV/VCR is connected to a Cable TV system,  
the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.  
IGNITION  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or  
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,  
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair  
dryers.  
GHOSTS  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the  
direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large  
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the  
reception.  
SNOW  
If the TV/VCR is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception  
area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.  
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external  
antenna may be necessary.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving  
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of  
contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna  
or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.  
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION  
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or  
BRIGHTNESS settings.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/VCR from the AC power sources before cleaning.  
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use  
caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING  
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING  
The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR reads the picture from  
the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty  
enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be deter-  
mined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no  
picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head  
cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.  
Good Picture  
Snowy Picture  
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING  
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting  
dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high  
quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head  
cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.  
NOTES: Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  
•
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
