13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, 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 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-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)
14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR receiver
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outletand disconnectthe antennaorcablesystem.Thiswill
prevent damage to the TV/VCR 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
electriclightorpowercircuits,orwhereit canfallintosuch
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.
16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17.Object and LiquidEntry-Never push objects of any kind
into this TV/VCR through openings as they may touch
dangerousvoltagepointsorshortoutpartsthatcouldresult
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the TV/VCR.
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to danger-
ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-
fied service personnel.
19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
TV/VCR.
c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the TV/VCR to its normal operation.
e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in perform-
ance-this indicates a need for service.
20.ReplacementParts-When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same charac-
teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other
hazards.
21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in
proper operating condition.
22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

CABLE WITH CONVERTER/
DESCRAMBLER BOX OR SATELLITE BOX
If your cable service supplies you with a converter box
or if you use a satellite system, you can use the basic
connection shown here.
By using this connection you can also record scrambled
channels. However, channel selection must be made
with the converter box or satellite box. This means that
channels cannot be changed using the TV/VCR Remote
Control. Unattended timer recording is limited to one
channel at a time.
TO RECORD A SCRAMBLED/UNSCRAMBLED
CHANNEL
1. Set the TV/VCR channel selector to the output
channel of the Cable Converter Box or Satellite Box.
(Ex. CH3)
2. Select the channel to record from your Cable
Converter Box or Satellite Box.

available in your area, follow "AUTO CLOCK
SETTING". If it is not, follow "MANUAL CLOCK
SETTING".

You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically
by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel

can be done again if the clock’s time has become
incorrect for some reason.
●If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable
converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station
must be selected on the cable box itself, and the
TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the
cable converter box or satellite box
(usually channel 3 or 4), to beable toset up or correct
the clock automatically.
If you do not know what your local PBS station is,

●the TV/VCR must search until the PBS channel is
found. It must scan each channel for a couple of sec-
onds to determine if that channel is transmitting the
XDS signal. This search could take up to 10
minutesifthelocalPBSstationisonahighnumbered
channel in your area or on your cable system.
●if the time, that is automatically set by this selected
PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS
station, but one from a different time zone. Or there
is a case that no channel is broadcasting the XDS
signal in your area, as shown by no time being set
even after a 10 minutes search. In these cases, you

●Weak snowy reception on TV screen
●Multiplex signal reception displaying picture ghosts
or airplane flutter.
●Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes.
NOTE:
If the TV/VCR displays a black
box on the TV screen, this means
that the TV/VCR is set to the
TEXT mode. To clear screen, se-
lect [CAPTION1], [CAPTION2]
