IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below.
Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from the each side. Slots and openings in the cabinet and 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 by placed near or over a radiator or heat register.) This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

Electric Power

Power Sources - This unit should be operated 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 appliance dealer or local power company. To operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Troubleshooting
If the unit does not seem to operate properly, read the instructions again, then check the information below. The POWER button does not operate. Make sure the AC cord is connected securely. The playback picture is noisy. Make sure the TV is set to the video channel or video input. Adjust the tracking manually when the tape quality is poor. Although the unit cleans the video heads automatically, dirt may be accumulated after a long period of use. Clean the video heads with a commercially available video head cleaning tape. Make sure all the connections with the VCR are correct and secure. There is no playback picture. Set the TV to the video channel or video input. TV reception is noisy or there is no TV reception. Connect the VCR to the antenna and TV correctly and securely. Move the VCR away from the TV set. Tape operation buttons do not work while the power is on and the cassette is inserted. Moisture condensation may have occurred. Wait for about two hours until moisture evaporates completely before you operate the VCR. Abnormal operation has occurred. External interference may have affected the internal microprocessor. Disconnect the AC cord from the AC outlet. Then connect it again. The remote control does not operate. Replace both batteries with new ones. Make sure the VCR/CATV/CBS/TV selector on the remote is set to VCR. There is no sound. Connect the VCR correctly and securely. The timer does not operate. Set the VCR clock correctly. Check that the VCR channel numbers match the guide channels which assigned to the TV stations. There is no sound and picture from an input source. You may have selected the wrong input. Press CHANNEL i, k, 0/INPUT on the remote, CHANNEL N or M on the VCR until you select the correct input source. (e.g. You must select LINE2 when you connect an input source to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the front panel.)
