If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the respective pages on this Owner’s
Manual for their operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit 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. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

The Captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line
Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display
Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.
The Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue (Fast
Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and Pause
Modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press CLOSED CAPTION on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption Modes
(Captions and Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received again.
If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
Notes:
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the
Closed Caption Decoder text may not appear.
In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears on the screen.
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.
• If the Call display is on, the Closed Captioning text will not appear.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with Closed Captions.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy).
If this is the case, have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.
Good Picture
Snowy Picture
Video head cleaning
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
Notes:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality
VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Reception disturbances
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna.
Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interference are shown below.
If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps or
AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large objects.
Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
SNOW
If the TV/VCR/DVD is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external antenna may be necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or
BRIGHTNESS settings.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
