Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable

TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical

Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV programming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed captions or all types of closed captions (second language, half-screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/VCR. Check your TV program listings for shows with closed captions.

If the TV/VCR receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:

●

●

Automobile ignition noise

Electric motor noise

●

●

●

Weak signal reception

Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)

Playback of poorly recorded or worn video tapes.

36 Setting V-Chip

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV.

V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets or exceeds the limitations you select. In this case, the message PROTECTED PROGRAM by ... appears on the TV screen.

Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture

Association of America (MPAA) or according to the

Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both places

(MPAA Rating and TV Rating).

Automatic Operation Features 41

The following playback features will always operate.

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off

When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the tape.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off

(but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed, a tape cannot be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL ▲/▼ buttons on the TV/VCR or the CH(annel) ▲/▼ button on the remote control during playback.

Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape is inserted or when the STOP/▼ button is pressed.

If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.

If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of your product before you call. This information is on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:

• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

• Avoid dusty or humid places.

• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.

• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

• If you spill water on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an authorized service center.

• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.

Dew Warning (Moisture Condensation)

• Moisture may condense inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture is in your TV/VCR. Playing a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated could damage the tape and the TV/VCR. If you suspect moisture inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.

TV/VCR will not perform a timer recording.

• Set the recording start and stop times correctly. Details are on pages 26-28. Midnight is 12 a.m. Noon is 12 p.m.

• Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.

• Set the clock. Details are on pages 12-15.

• Put a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.

• With ShowGuard, you don’t have to worry about losing your timer recordings. If the power fails, timer recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automatically if you are using AUTO CLOCK. Details are on pages 12-13. If you are not using AUTO CLOCK, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 14-15.) The timer recording will not occur only if it was scheduled to take place during the power failure.

• Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.

• If a timer recording is programmed, turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.

• Unplug the TV/VCR power cord for five minutes. Then, plug in the power cord again, then press the

POWER button on the TV/VCR. If the tape does not eject, press the STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR three to five times. If the tape still does not eject, you may need to have an authorized servicer remove the tape.

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.

The cylinder rotates when tape playback is stopped.

• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The quick play mechanism switches the tape mechanism from Stop to Play in just one second.
