vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the video product and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This

ll. Grounding or Polarization-This video product 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. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power Cord Protection-Power supply cords should be

13. Outdoor Antenna Groundlng-lf an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard 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-dis-

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or 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 such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.

technician to restore the video product to its normal op-
eration.
e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.

TV/VCR button is in the VCR position, your TV will re-
ceive the signals from the VCR on either channel 3 or 4.
To use the VCR with your TV, set the selector switch to
CH3 or CH4, whichever is not used or least used for
normal broadcasts in your area. Then set your TV to that
same channel.
When you copy a video tape, or watch a prograln re-
corded on an another source, use audio/video input
jacks.
NOTE: You can use the audio and video input jacks on
the front panel of VCR instead of using jacks on the
back.
