REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15
This product has been tested and found to comply with the lim-
its for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference when the product is operated
in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to

ing the product off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will
condense on the surface of the glass. This is moisture conden-
sation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the
most crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape.
When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature change from
cold to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condi-
tion, connect the power cord to the AC line, press POWER on
and allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.

back of the TV.
When using the Audio/Video cable (Not supplied)
If your TV has A/V input jacks, you may connect your VCR’s
AUDIO/VIDEO jacks on back of your TV.
Direct audio/video connections usually result in a better picture
and sound quality for tape playback. Please see your TV’s
owner’s manual for details. Then set your TV to the VIDEO
mode using the TV/VIDEO button on your TV.
VCR Output Channel Setting
During playback of a video tape, and when press
TV/VCR to set the VCR mode, the VCR OUT-
PUT converter changes the video and audio sig-
nals to the same type of signals that are used for
TV broadcasts. Set the VCR OUTPUT channel
switch (marked CH3, CH4 and located on the
rear panel) to channel 3 or 4. Select the channel
that is not used for TV broadcasts in your area.
This is your VCR OUTPUT channel. To play a
tape, or to watch TV using the VCR’s built-in

Without Cable Box
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter or
descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach it to
the ANT.IN connector on the VCR. Use the supplied round
coaxial cable to connect between the VCR’s VHF/UHF/CATV
connector and the 75 ohm antenna input connector on the TV.
With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band,
and hyperband channels.
With Cable Box
If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the instruc-
tion below:
The cable hookup permits both TV and VCR operation.
To view or record CATV channel
1Set the TV channel to the video output channel as located on
the back of the VCR (CH3 or CH4).
2Set the VCR channel selector to the output channel of the
Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRACK (▲/▼)or
number (0-9) of your VCR. (Example: CH3)
3Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.
•With this connection, you CANNOT record one program while
viewing another.
•Channel memory programming is not needed when using the
connection.
NOTES
1 Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the TV receiver.
2Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a round
cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This
cable will connect directly to the connector marked ANT.IN on
your VCR.
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect
it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied)
and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN connector. The Adaptor
does not screw on to the VCR, it just slips over the connector.

VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving mode
(Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position.
For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO posi-
tion. The VCR will then record a STEREO program when available,
and record a mono program IF the program NOT IN STEREO.
For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasting, changing the dis-
play to mono may give clearer sound.

so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will be
heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.
•The AUDIO OUTPUT is switched among STEREO, LEFT, and
RIGHT by pressing FFor GG.

the phrase, with the foul language converted to a suitable
replacement word, can be displayed on the TV screen.

TVG WORD SETS
In addition to the main TVG modes, three additional sets
of words are available to the user to selectively turn on or

filtered. OFF means that they will not be affected by the
TVG processing.
When the user changes from any TVG ON mode (TOLERANT,
