VENTILATION
_ll_
S3126A
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source.
This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
10.
POWER SOURCE proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. 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 grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) line plug, your unit may be equipped with a 3-wire 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
(CONTINUED)
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 where they exit from the appliance.
13.
LIGHTNING attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
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.
14.
POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against 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.
15.
OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock.
Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect 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.
18.
SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
For example: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f.
When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
19.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

THE AIR CONDENSES ON IT. LET THE UNIT STAND WITH POWER ON (SEE BELOW).
• WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.
• MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
• When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.
• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
• WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the POWER button to turn on and leave the unit at room temperature until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take about three hours.

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 TV/VCR 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 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 TV/VCR from the AC power sources 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.
5O
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR 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, use a high quality head cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
Good Picture Snowy Picture
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 VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
NOTES: • 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.
