PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire or electric

shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or

moisture.

CAUTION:

To prevent electric shock, match wide

blade of plug to wide slot of electrical outlet and

insert fully.

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your

VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place

for its installation:

Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from

sources of intense heat.

Avoid dusty or humid places.

Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat

dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the

VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this

will block the ventilation holes.

Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.

Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations

(see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).

Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this

may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electric Shock or Fire

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it

from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power

cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a

factory-authorized service center.

Do not place anything directly on top of the VCR.

Moisture Condensation Problems

Cause:

When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area

to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,

dew (moisture) may form inside the unit. If you operate

the VCR with dew inside, damage may result.

Prevention:

Make all necessary connections.

Plug the power cord into a 120 V AC wall outlet.

Turn on the power.

Do not operate the VCR or insert a cassette for

approximately 2 hours.

This allows the VCR to warm up to the temperature of the

room where it will be used.

WARNING:

Unauthorized recording or use of

television broadcast, video tape, film or other

copyrighted material may violate applicable

responsibility for unauthorized duplication, use or

other acts that infringe upon the rights of copyright

owners.

ALTERNATIVE CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

Your VCR can receive all unscrambled cable channels

without the use of an external converter. If you wish to

view and record scrambled cable channels, you must

connect a converter/decoder as described below.

Your local cable TV company will advise you of the

channels available in your area.

We recommend that you consult your cable TV company

to make sure that the cable is properly connected.

When the TV does not have a built-in cable converter

Connect the cable TV converter between the VCR and

the TV so that you can watch a cable TV program while

recording another program.

NOTE:

Set the TV channel to the cable converter output

channel (CH02 ~ 07).

When you have both cable and pay TV (scrambled channels)

NOTES:

With this method the TV and VCR receive the same

channel. Recording one program while watching

another is not possible.

With this connection, the VCR must be set to the cable

converter/decoder output channel. (See next page.)

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER (USA only): 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 connected to the

grounding system of the building, as close to the point of

cable entry as practicable.

BASIC OPERATION

INITIAL SETUP

When you are setting up the VCR for the first time, or

after the power has failed for more than 1 hour, follow the

steps below. This AUTO SETUP operation automatically

sets the RF output channel, enters all available channels

in your area into the VCR tuner memory and sets the

VCR internal clock.

Many TV stations transmit a signal called Extended Data

Services (XDS). This VCR uses the XDS signal to

automatically set the clock. If no XDS signal is available

in your area, the VCR prompts you to set the clock

manually.

AUTO SETUP

During AUTO SETUP, do not press any buttons other

than the ones indicated here.

Be sure the antenna or cable connections are correct.

(See pages 10 and 11.)

“Auto tuning memory” appears on screen. The VCR

scans all 125 channels and memorizes each active

4-6 minutes.

When Auto Tuning is completed, the VCR will select

the channel that carries the XDS signal and proceed

to Auto Clock setting.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@01

@@@@@@@Clock@set

The Auto Clock setting normally takes about

3 minutes. During this time, the VCR’s front panel

shows the channel number that is sending the XDS

signal for Auto Clock setting. Make a note of this

number, which you may need to refer to for

readjusting the clock later (see page 19).

If the Auto Clock setting entered the incorrect date

and/or time, correct it by following the steps under

Automatic Clock Adjustment on page 19.

If no XDS signal is available in your area:

“Clock set” will not appear on the screen when the

Auto Tuning operation is completed. Instead, the TV

program on the lowest channel that the VCR

memorized will appear on screen. In this case, you

must set the clock manually. Follow the steps under

Manual Clock Setting on page 20.

NOTES:

The VCR will search for and memorize channels in the

CATV (cable TV) mode and TV mode.

If the AC power to the VCR is interrupted for more than

1 hour, the memorized RF output channel, channel and

clock may be erased.
