3.

Grounding or Polarization

This product may be 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.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the 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 product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

PREPARATION

Video Cassette Use

Video Cassette Use

Loading a cassette

Push the cassette into the cassette compartment with the window side facing up and the label side towards the front. The VCR is automatically turned on. The indicator will appear in the VCR display.

Ejecting a cassette

Press EJECT . The cassette is ejected from the cassette compartment.

Warning

Do not insert your hands or any foreign objects into the compartment. This may result in injury or damage. Take special care with children to avoid accidents.

Precautions when using video cassettes

Video cassettes have a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure. If the tab has already been removed, recording cannot be performed.

To prevent accidental erasure

Remove this safety tab with a screwdriver.

To record again

Cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.

20

• Avoid exposing cassettes to direct sunlight. Keep them away from heaters.

Avoid extreme humidity, vibrations or shock, strong magnetic fields (near a motor, transformer or magnet) and dusty place.

Adjusting the tracking

When playback starts, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking for clear pictures and sound (Digital Auto Tracking).

The “DT” indicator blinks during the adjusting.

If the VCR cannot locate the best possible tracking point, hold down one of CH/TRK to adjust the tracking manually.

• To resume the digital auto tracking, hold down both CHANNEL on the VCR simultaneously for about 2 seconds.

Notes

• During the adjusting, the playback picture and sound may be distorted.

• The digital auto tracking is activated only in the playback mode.

• To reset the manual tracking point to the center, press both CHANNEL on the VCR simultaneously for not longer than 1 second.

• The noise on the screen may not be completely eliminated depending on the tape used, especially when the tape was recorded on another VCR.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

(For W-808 only)

The noise reduction function of this VCR is based on a digital signals system utilizing memory. It is effective in the playback of noisy tapes as well as

S-VIDEO and RF in video signal.

Furthermore the CSE (Color Signal

Enhancement) circuit, which is included in the system, compensates for color signal weakness and gives the best possible color. Thanks to this circuit color distortion is reduced and a sharp picture is played back.

Press DNR repeatedly to select the following:

D n

R O n

: Usually set to “O n

”.

The “D n

R O n

” will appear on the TV screen and you can view the picture with less noise.

D n

R OFF: This function will not work.

Notes

• The DNR playback is available only in the playback mode.

• Depending on the recorded picture, for example too vivid or too noisy, you may not notice a reduction in the noise.

• The noise reduction may not work on pictures recorded from special equipment such as TV game machines or computers.

• The picture sharpness can be changed by full screen OSD setting. (See page 16.)
