9. VENTILATION  
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the 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 installa-  
tions such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have  
been adhered to.  
10. POWER SOURCES  
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 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. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug, if your unit is 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.

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 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.  
14. 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.  
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  
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National  
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and support-  
ing 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.  
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE  
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
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.  
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS

CABLE TV CONNECTIONS  
This TV/VCR has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV  
converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled.  
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is gener-  
ally provided by the cable company.  
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE  
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,  
connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack  
on the back of the TV/VCR.

of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connections shown below. Set the

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH  
SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS  
If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the  
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the  
Cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”  
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/VCR. With the switch in the “A” position, tune  
your TV/VCR to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/  
Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Text: 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.  
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.  
If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed  
approximately 10 seconds.  
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.  
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.  
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS  
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 Cap-  
tions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions  
symbol (CC).  
Press the TV/CAP/TEXT button 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 (depend-  
ing 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.  
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
• 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.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or  
may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception  
or use an outdoor antenna.

This TV/VCR is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels to skip up or down to the  
next channel set into memory, skipping over unwanted channels. Before selecting channels, they must be  
programmed into the TV/VCR’s memory. In addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV/VCR can  
receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To use this TV/VCR with an antenna, set the TV/CATV menu option to  
the TV mode. When shipped from the factory, this menu option is in the CATV mode.

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 interfer-  
ence 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 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.

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 deter-  
mined 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 TV/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.  
Good Picture  
Snowy Picture  
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING  
AUTO HEAD CLEANING system cleans the video heads automatically when a cassette is inserted or ejected to  
prevent dirt from accumulating on the heads. However, manual head cleaning is needed if the picture on playback is  
still unclear although the picture on program is normal. This failure signifies that the head is getting dirty and occurs  
when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a high quality head cleaning system  
or have them cleaned professionally.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.  
NOTE: 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.
