equipment to rain or moisture.  
Federal Com m unications Com m ission (FCC) W arning: Any  
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the users  
authority to operate it.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits  
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference  
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic-  
ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio  
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment  
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one  
or more of the following measures:  
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Magnavox recommends you use only video cassette tapes that have the  
mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality and excessive  
deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover if damage  
occurs.  
This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with exist-  
ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.  
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable  
TV system installers attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical  
Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding in particular, speci-  
fying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of  
the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

52 Automatic Operation Features  
The following playback features will always operate.  
Autom atic Playback  
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come  
on automatically. If the tapes record tab is missing, playback  
will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not  
come on automatically when you insert a tape with the  
record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR  
power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record  
tab is missing.  
Autom atic Rewind, Eject, O ff  
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end,  
the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and  
eject the tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the  
TV/VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the  
real-time counter is set to zero. In this case, the TV/VCR  
will not turn itself off or eject the tape.  
Tape Eject  
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off  
(but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is  
programmed, a tape cannot be ejected when the power is  
off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be  
sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the  
timer recording.  
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent  
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you  
the best possible picture quality. With some recordings,  
however, you may get a better picture using the manual  
tracking controls (see below).  
Manual Tracking  
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p  
buttons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING  
/
buttons  
on the remote control during playback. Your picture will  
improve similar to the example below.  
Automatic Tracking resumes when a tape is inserted or  
when the STOP/p button is pressed.

54 Helpful Hints  
If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before  
requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.  
If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of  
your product before you call. This information is on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to  
identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If the representa-  
tive will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our representatives will be happy to  
assist you.  
Location  
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:  
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.  
Avoid dusty or humid places.  
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of  
the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.  
Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.  
Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.  
Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.  
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards  
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall out-  
let. Grasp it by the plug.  
If you spill water on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an autho-  
rized service center.  
Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.  
Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.  
Dew W arning (Moisture Condensation)  
Moisture may condense inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, after heating  
a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture is in your TV/VCR. Playing a  
tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated could damage the tape and the TV/VCR. If you sus-  
pect moisture inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two  
hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.  
TV/VCR will not perform a tim er recording.  
Set the recording start and stop times correctly. Details are on pages 32-35. Midnight is 12 a.m. Noon is 12  
p.m.  
Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.  
Set the clock. Details are on pages 12-17.  
Put a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.  
With ShowGuard, you dont have to worry about losing your timer recordings. If the power fails, timer  
recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automatically if you are  
using AUTO CLOCK. Details are on pages 14-17. If you are not using AUTO CLOCK, reset the clock  
manually. Details are on pages 12-13.) The timer recording will not occur only if it was scheduled to take  
place during the power failure.  
Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF. Details are on page 36.  
TV/VCR will not record.  
Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.  
Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is OFF. Details are on page 36.  
Plug the power cord into an active AC outlet. Details are on page seven.  
Check your hookups. Details are on pages six-seven.
