receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding- 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. 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 antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

MAINTENANCE
Servicing
Should your VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct
the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug, and please call our
help line at
1-800-968-3429,
to locate an Authorized Service Center.
Cabinet Cleaning
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the VCR
with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the VCR. Such chemicals may cause damage and
discoloration to the exposed surfaces.
Auto Head Cleaning
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a
cassette, so you can see a clear picture.
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while
the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the
video heads after long periods of use, or the usage of rental
or worn tapes can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy
picture appears during playback, the video heads in your
VCR may need to be cleaned.
1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a
good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.
2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem,
please call our help line at 1-800-968-3429, to locate an
Authorized Service Center.
NOTES:
• Remember to read the instructions included with the video
head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
