5. Ventilation  
IMPORTANT PRODUCT  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But  
improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire  
hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured  
to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in  
safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation,  
use and servicing.  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.  
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it  
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or  
covered.  
• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed,  
sofa, rug or other similar surface.  
• Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a  
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the  
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.  
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
ATTENTION:  
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your  
product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please  
read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate  
this product and keep this booklet for future reference.  
ANTENNA INSTALLATION  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the  
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 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  
connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding  
electrode.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Grounding or Polarization  
(A) Your 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.  
(B) Your product 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 is a safety  
feature.  
2. Lightning  
For added protection for this product during 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 product due to  
lightning and power-line surges.  
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.  
3. Power Lines  
2. Power Sources  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity  
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,  
or where it can fall into 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.  
Operate your product only from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of  
power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or  
local power company. If your product is intended to operate  
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating  
instructions.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER  
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70  
3. Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral  
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
ANTENNA  
LEAD IN WIRE  
4. Power Cord Protection  
GROUND CLAMP  
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 product.

INITIAL SETTINGS

The time and date can be set automatically from additional clock  
setting data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast  
channels. We call this TV channel the "Host Channel" and it is a  
PBS channel in your area. With the antenna cable connected,  
your VCR can automatically set the clock when the power plug  
is first connected to an AC outlet.  
Clock  
The auto clock function scans all the channels received by your  
VCR to find the clock setting data of the Host Channel.  
*Don’t turn the power on until the time (or “- - : - - ”) appears on  
the front display panel.  
Before the clock is set, AUTO appears on the display.

AM  
After setting, the current time appears (in hours and minutes).  
The automatic clock setting function will normally set the clock  
correctly. However, if an incorrect time is displayed on the front  
display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a  
PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS  
channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-  
Auto (੬ pg. 9) or Manual (੬ pg. 10) clock setting procedure.  
If "AUTO" remains in the display for more than 30 minutes,  
perform the Semi-Auto (੬ pg. 9) or Manual (੬ pg. 10) clock  
setting procedure. In the case of Semi-Auto, you have to set the  
Host Channel manually.  
POWER  
If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected,  
the clock will be adjusted automatically by the Host PBS every  
hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and  
2:00 AM) according to the incoming PBS channel clock setting  
data. (Automatic clock adjustments can only be received when  
the VCR’s power is turned off.)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
36  
PLAYBACK  
RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end  
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by  
the new recording. Why does this happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and  
resume points.  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause  
mode?  
A. No. The VCR shuts off automatically after 5 minutes  
to protect the heads.  
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame  
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the  
problem?  
A. This is normal.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.  
Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,  
the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?  
A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are  
attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing  
PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the  
picture.  
TIMER RECORDING  
Q. REC and TIMER remain lit on the front display panel.  
Is there a problem?  
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in  
progress.  
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape  
or a TV broadcast?  
A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the on-  
screen menu, but the audio from the program or tape  
you’re viewing is present.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s  
the problem?  
A. This is normal.  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find  
the program I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.
