in your home.
2POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As asafety feature, this Video product comes with either
apolarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the
other), or athree-wire grounding type plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot

Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
3POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so that they are not likely
to have anything rest on them, roll over them, or be in the
way of walking traffic. If an extension cord is used, make
sure it also has either apolarized or grounded plug and that
the cords can be securely connected. Frayed cords, damaged
plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous
and should be replaced by aqualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and
should be avoided.
4DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated
during operation. If they are blocked, heat build-up inside the
unit can cause failures that may result in afire hazard or
heat damage to cassettes.
For protection, follow these rules;
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit
while in use, or operate the unit when placed
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case
or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near any kind of heater
or regulator, in direct sunlight, inside aclosed vehicle, etc..
Do not move the unit suddenly between areas of extreme
temperature variation. If the unit is suddenly moved from a
cold place to awarm place, moisture may condense in the
unit and on the tape.
6TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
•Do not place unsecured equipment on asloping surface.
•Do not place this unit on any support
that is not firm, level, and adequately
strong. The unit could fall causing

the manufacturer's recommended accessories when
operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the equipment, wc 't*«3&iLwet
be sure the antenna or cable system
is grounded so as to provide some
protection against built up static
charges and voltage surges.
Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code. ANSI/NFPA 70
(in Canada, part 1of the Canadian
Electrical Code) 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,
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to tall. When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines,
circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the
hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to aprofessional.
