This video product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking labels. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your sales person or your local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 3. 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. 4. Slots and vents in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating. These vents must not be blocked or covered. The vents should never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar su rface. This video product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video product 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. 5. Do not expose this video product to rain or use 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. 6.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock. 9. If 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. Section 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-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE GROUND ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20) ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) *—— POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM S2898A (NEC ART 250, PART H) NEC - NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE 10. An outside antenna system should not be 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. 11.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Important Precautions Save Original Packing Materials The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship your VCR. For maximum protection repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory. Moisture Condensation Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the VCR is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the cylinder inside the machine. If the VCR is operated as it is, the tape may stick to the tape head and cause damage to the tape and/or the deck. Under these circumstances, do not operate the VCR for about 2 hours. Leave the power cord connected so that the VCR can dry out. Compatibility This video cassette recorder (VCR) is compatible with any other VCR bearing the VHS logo. HQ VHS equipment is also compatible with existing non-HQ VHS equipment.

INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION TV Antenna and VCR Connections To connect the VCR to a VHF or UHF antenna (Fig. 1), follow the steps below. Remove the VHF and/or UHF cables from your TV terminals and reconnect them to the VCR terminals as shown in the Note diagrams below. For VHF or UHF connections follow procedure (1), if you have a 75 ohm coaxial cable. Follow procedure 2) if you have a 300 ohm twin lead connector (i.e. use an optional 300 - 75 ohm transformer).

Notes: “Unscrambled” Cable Channels Cable companies usually include “Unscrambled” channels in their basic subscription service. Depending on the tuning capability of your TV (how many cable channels your TV is capable of tuning to) you may not need a cable converter box (supplied by the cable company) to view “unscrambled” cable channels on your TV set. “Scrambled” Channels Extra (optional) pay cable channels, like HBO and Cinemaxin some localities, are often “scrambled” by the cable company. To view these channels on your TV, you must use the cable converter (decoder) box supplied by the cable company. Cable Converter Box (supplied by Cable Company) Until recently, all television and VCR receivers were equipped with 68 channel tuners capable of tuning the 12 standard VHF channels (2-13) and the 56 UHF channels (14-69). Since cable television systems do not use the UHF band, once they began expanding beyond 12 channel capacity (some cable companies transmit up to 100 channels) some form of con- verter became necessary to enable their subscribers to tune in the additional channels. This “cable converter box” rebroadcasts the programs to your TV set or VCR on one designated channel, usually channel 2, 3, or 4. When you use a converter box, you will normally change channels using the channel selector on the box. Some cable converters have built-in decoders that translate “scrambled” pay TV channels (i.e. HBO) so they can be used by your TV set. See VCR and TV connections. — => Normal TV Receiver Notes: e Setthe VCR and TV channel selector to the output of the converter. e Select the channel to record at the converter. Frequency Conversion This simply means the ability to change one frequency to another (e.g. when Channel 7 is selected, the converter box takes the Channel 7 information and outputs this on Channel 3 frequency; when Channel 11 is selected, the converter box takes the Channel 11 information and outputs this on Channel 3 frequency.) The converter box and the VCR use this princi- ple of frequency conversion. 13 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION CONTROLS Front Panel O O © (D) POWER button 7 REW button Press to turn the VCR on and off.

Before You Begin This set-up will let the VCR start recording a program if you input the PlusCodes* for the desired programs. This is called VCR Plus+* recording. The flow chart below will give you an idea as to what must be done before you can use the VCR Plus+ features. | Setting the VCR Clock (page 23) | { | Cable box set-up (pages 40 and 41) | } | Operating the FS tuner (pages 24 and 25) | { | VCR Plus+ set-up | } VCR Plus+ programming (pages 44) * VCR Plus+ and PlusCode are trademarks of Gemstar Development Corp. VCR Plus+ system is manufactured under license from Gemstar Development Corporation. What is VCR Plus+™ ? VCR Plus+ is a new timer programming system. Once initial set-up is completed, you are simply requested to enter the PlusCode number to program the desired TV show. You do not need to set the recording date, start and stop times and channel number. The PlusCodes are published in the TV program listings of selected newspapers and TV guide maga- zine.

Before using the VCR Plus+ feature, you must set-up the special guide channel numbers (also called VCR Plus+ chan- nel numbers) assigned to each channel that you receive in your home. The VCR identifies the channel to be recorded by the guide channel number whose informations included inthe PlusCode. Generally speaking, if you have a TV antenna connected to your VCR and you want to record broadcast channels 2 to 32 only, you do not need to set up VCR Plus+ because the guide channel numbers for these channels are the same as the broadcast channel numbers. But if you want to record broad- cast channels 33 to 64 and cable-TV channels, VCR Plus+ set-up is required because the guide channel numbers are different for most of these channels. Further, if you are using a cable box, you must also perform the cable box set-up (see page 40). The guide channel numbers are published in TV guide maga- zine, and selected local TV publications, or the channel guide from your cable-TV company.
