cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference
to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description
otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments notrecommended by
the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this TV near water-for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool,
and the like.
8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing
serious injury to someone, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufac-
turer, or sold with the TV. Any
mounting of the appliance should
follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back
or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating,
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This TV 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 Sources-This TV 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 appliance dealer or local power company. For
TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization-This TV is equipped with a po-
larized 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 you electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized 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. Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section

ing 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 ground-
ing electrode. (Fig. A)
14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV receiver during
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 TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light of 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 touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.

PRECAUTIONS
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of
your unit, keep the following in mind when select-
ing a place for its installation:
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away
from sources of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for
proper heat dissipation. Do not block the ven-
tilation holes at the top and bottom of the unit.
Do not place the unit on a carpet because this
will block the ventilation holes.
• Install unit in a horizontal position.
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.
• Do not place the unit near strong magnetic
fields.
• Do not move the unit from a cold to a hot place
or vice versa.
•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull out the power cord when discon-
necting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by
the plug.
• If, by accident, water is spilled on your unit,
unplug the power cord immediately and take
the unit to an authorized video service center
for servicing.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the VCR
cassette holder.
• Do not place anything directly on top of the
unit.
Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit
when it is moved from a cold place to a warm
place, or after heating a cold room or under con-
ditions of high humidity. If playing a tape with a
TVCR which has moisture, it will damage the tape
and TVCR. Therefore when the condensation oc-
curs inside the unit turn the POWER button on
and allow at least 2 hours for the unit to dry out.

When handling video tapes, take the following
precautions
•Avoid moisture, which can condense on the
tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm
place. Playing atape that has moisture in it will
damage the tape and your TVCR. Before using
a tape with these conditions, wait until the tape
has warmed to room temperature and the
moisture has evaporated.
•Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and mag-
netic fields.
•Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.
•Do not touch the tape with your fingers.
ERASE PREVENTION
You may prevent accidental erasing of a tape by
breaking off the tab on the back edge of the cas-
sette. If you decide to record on the tape again,
cover the hole with plastic tape.
