stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult
as well as serious damage to the unit. Use this
unit only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer.
8A A unit and cart
combination should
be moved with care.
Quick stops,
excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may
cause the unit and
cart combination to overturn.

This 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
dealer or local power company. For units
intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the 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 still fails to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. To prevent electric shock, do
not use this polarized plug with an extension
cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the
blades can be fully inserted without blade
exposure. If you need an extension cord, use
a polarized cord.
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 unit.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer’s attention to Section 820-40
of the NEC which provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
13 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section
PORTABLE CART WARNING

electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See example as shown.
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 into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching or approaching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna
can be hazardous and should be left to a
professional antenna installer.

Using Video Cassettes
Before you play or record on a video cassette tape, please read this information on the proper care
and use of video cassettes.
Use only video cassettes that bear the VHS mark: $.
There are four types of video cassettes: T-60, T-90, T-120, and T-160. The amount you can record
on a tape is dependent upon the tape speed at which you record. The table below lists the recording
time (hours:minutes) for each tape type according to recording speed.
Tape Type SP Mode (Standard Play) SLP Mode (Extended Play)
T-60 1:00 3:00
T-90 1:30 4:30
T-120 2:00 6:00
T-160 2:40 8:00
Protecting video cassettes from accidental erasure
Cassettes have a safety tab to prevent erasure. Break off the safety tab with a screw
driver. If you wish to record on a cassette without a safety tab, cover the hole with
cellophane tape. If you insert a video cassette without a safety tab into the unit after
setting the timer recording program, “( ) ” will blink on the display panel in the power
off mode and the unit will automatically eject the cassette.
If you insert a video cassette with a safety tab into the unit after setting the timer recording program,
the unit will be in stand-by mode.
Inserting video cassettes
Firmly insert the cassette into the cassette compartment with the label up. An inverted cassette
cannot be inserted. Do not attempt to insert a video cassette if the unit is unplugged. Do not insert
fingers or any foreign object beyond the door flaps of the cassette compartment; this could lead to
injury or equipment damage.
Removing video cassettes
Press [EJECT] on the front panel and the VCR will eject the tape. Pull the cassette out gently. Do not
attempt to pull out the video cassette after the unit begins to load the video cassette. Let it finish
loading, then press [EJECT] to eject it.

In the Spring, daylight-saving time begins on the first Sunday in April. Because the clock
automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM (forward one hour), remember to
include the extra hour for timer recording falling within this time frame.
In the Autumn, daylight-saving time ends on the last Sunday in October.
The VCR clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM (back one hour).
Therefore, it can affect your recording length.
