13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or  
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, 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 No. 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. (Fig. A)  
19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR from  
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-  
sonnel under the following conditions:  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the  
TV/VCR.  
c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the  
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjust-  
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often  
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore  
the TV/VCR to its normal operation.  
14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR receiver  
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 TV/VCR due to lightning and  
power-line surges.  
e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in perfor-  
mance-this indicates a need for service.  
15.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.  
20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required,  
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts  
specified by the manufacturer that have the same character-  
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may  
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-  
ards.  
21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to  
this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine  
safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper  
operating condition.  
16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension  
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind  
into this TV/VCR through openings as they may touch dan-  
gerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in  
a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on  
the TV/VCR.  
22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from  
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or  
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself  
as opening or removing covers may expose you to danger-  
ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-  
fied service personnel.

directly to your TV/VCR without a converter box.  
By using this connection you can:  
1) Use the TV/VCR remote to select channels.  
2) Program one or more unscrambled channels for  
Automatic Timer Recording.  
NOTE: This unit will ONLY record and view the  
same channel.  
NOTE: If it is difficult to get good reception with  
the indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is  
recommended. Before an outdoor antenna is connect-  
ed to the set, the indoor antenna should be discon-  
nected.  
Note to CATV system installer:  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that  
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connect-  
ed to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

CABLE WITH CONVERTER/  
DESCRAMBLER BOX OR SATELLITE  
BOX  
If your cable service supplies you with a converter  
box or if you use a satellite system, you can use the  
basic connection shown in drawing.  
By using this connection you can also record scram-  
bled channels. However, channel selection must be  
made with the converter box or satellite box. This  
means that channels cannot be changed using the  
TV/VCR Remote Control. Unattended timer record-  
ing is limited to one channel at a time.  
MOBILE CONNECTION  
WARNING:The driver should never watch  
the TV/VCR while operating a motor vehicle.  
CAUTION: If you use the TV/VCR with the  
vehicles engine off, recharge the vehicles  
battery after about every 4 hours of use to  
prevent it from running down. After you fin-  
ish using the TV/VCR be sure you unplug the  
car-battery cord from the cigarette-lighter  
socket.  
1) The supplied indoor antenna is adequate when  
your vehicle is stationary. For best reception on  
the road, use a high-quality VHF/UHF mobile TV  
antenna.  
2) Attach the car battery cord to the DC13.2V (12V)  
connector on the back of the TV/VCR. Then, con-  
nect the other end to your vehicle’s cigarette-  
lighter socket.  
TO RECORD A SCRAMBLED/UNSCRAMBLED  
CHANNEL  
1. Set the TV/VCR channel selector to the output  
channel of the Cable Converter Box or Satellite  
Box. (Ex. CH3)  
2.Select the channel to record from your Cable  
Converter Box or Satellite Box.

NOTES:  
TV/VCR power must be turned on.  
Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.  
The cable converter box must be turned on if your

The TV/VCR distinguishes between standard TV

If you want to play or record a video tape BEFORE  
presetting the tuner, you must press the MENU but-  
ton on the remote control. To preset the tuner again,  
see “CHANNEL SET UP AGAIN” on page 13.

NOTES:  
If you choose [AUTO],  
Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it  
can be done again if the clock’s time has become  
incorrect for some reason.  
The TV/VCR must search until the PBS channel is  
found. It must scan each channel for a couple of  
seconds to determine if that channel is transmitting  
the XDS signal.  
If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable  
converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station  
must be selected on the cable box itself, and the  
TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the  
cable converter box or satellite box (usually chan-  
nel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock  
automatically.  
If the time, that is automatically set by this select-  
ed PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your  
local PBS station, but one from a different time  
zone. Or there is a case that no channel is broad-  
casting the XDS signal in your area, as shown by  
no time. In these cases, you must manually enter  
the correct local PBS station, or set the clock man-  
ually and turn off the Auto Clock Setting feature.  
If you do not know what your local PBS station is,  
then follow “Manual Clock Settings”.  
The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the  
cable converter box or satellite box.
