5. Ventilation  
IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
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.  
Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a  
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the  
manufacturers 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  
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.  
2. Power Sources  
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.  
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.  
4. 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 product.

INITIAL SETTINGS  
This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically  
when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet.  
The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play  
setting.  
The time and date can be set automatically by the clock  
setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV  
broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host  
channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.  
Plug & Play Set  
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set  
ATTENTION:  
If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the  
clock and tuner channels separately. (pg. 16 – 19)  
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may  
not receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS  
channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of  
time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or  
Manual Clock Set procedure.  
A Perform Plug & Play setup.  
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (pg. 12). Then  
connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn  
on the VCR.  
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.  
NOTES:  
Auto Clock Set is performed first.  
“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.  
Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans  
all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto  
Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are  
scanned and set.

When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the  
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play  
setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set”  
(pg. 16) and “Tuner Set” (pg. 18). If, however, you want  
to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”  
(pg. 19).  
During Initial Auto Clock Set  
“Auto” blinks.  
During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed  
as they are scanned and set.  
Plug&Play Completed  
The current time is displayed.  
* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.  
INFORMATION  
If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (pg. 17), the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except  
11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock  
adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time  
displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (pg. 17)  
If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be  
performed when power is restored to the VCR.  
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed  
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 “Semiauto Clock Set” (pg. 17)  
or “Manual Clock Set” (pg. 17).  
If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host  
PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug &  
Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected  
correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” (pg. 17) and “Auto Channel Set” (pg. 18) or “Manual Channel Set” (pg. 19).
