Model 107/58 4-Head HQ VHS VCR/Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
(160-0544/0628)             Installation              Faxback Doc. # 18810

1.  Operate only from a power source indicated on your VCR or in this
    manual.  If you are unsure of your power supply, ask your local power
    company.

2.  As a safety feature, your VCR is equipped with either a 2-wire
    polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other) or a 3-wire
    grounded plug (a third pin for grounding).  The 2-wire polarized plug
    will fit only one way into the power outlet.  The 3-wire grounded plug
    will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet.  If the plug does not
    fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  Do not
    modify the plug.  To do so will void the safety feature.

3.  Protect and route power cords so they will not be stepped on or pinched
    by anything placed on or against them.  Be especially careful at plug-
    ins, convenience receptacles, or cord exit points from the VCR.  Frayed
    power cords or damaged plugs are hazardous.  Have them replaced by a
    qualified service technician.  Overloaded wall outlets and extension
    cords may cause fire or electrical shock hazards.

4.  Do not cover or block ventilation holes in the VCR cabinet.  Doing so
    may damage the VCR or cassette, or cause fire.  Do not place your VCR
    on a soft surface which could block the ventilation holes.  Avoid
    enclosed installation such as bookshelves or racks unless ventilation
    is adequate.

5.  Avoid excessive humidity, sudden temperature changes, or temperature
    extremes.  Dew may form inside your VCR or on your cassette.

6.  To avoid costly damage or injury, place your VCR flat on a solid,
    stable surface free from vibrations; do not place any heavy objects on
    top of it.  Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
    recommended by the manufacturer; follow all instructions regarding
    their use exactly.

7.  An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.  Quick
    stops, excessive force, and uneven surface may cause the appliance
    and cart combination to overturn.

OPERATION/CLEANING

1.  Keep your VCR away from wet locations such as bathtubs, sinks, laundry
    rooms, wet basements, swimming pools.

2.  Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid fire,
    shock or other hazards.

3.  If your VCR has been exposed to rain, moisture or strong impact, unplug
    it and have it inspected by a qualified service technician before
    resuming use.

4.  Unplug your VCR and disconnect it from the antenna and/or cable system
    during a lightning storm or an extended period of discontinued use.

5.  Unplug your VCR before cleaning.  Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  Do
    not use cleaning fluids or aerosols which could enter the unit and
    cause damage, fire, or electrical shock.  These substances may also
    mar the finish of your VCR.

6.  Keep liquids and foreign objects away from your VCR.  Never operate
    your VCR if any liquid or foreign object has entered it.  Electrical
    shorts could result and possibly cause fire or shock hazards.  Unplug
    your VCR immediately and have it inspected by a qualified service
    technician.

7.  Never open or remove covers or make any adjustments not described
    in this manual.  Attempting to do could expose you to dangerous
    electrical shock or other hazards.  It may also cause serious damage
    to your VCR.

8.  Keep your VCR away from electrical and magnetic appliances which could
    impair performance.  Be sure to postiion your VCR away from your TV
    or video monitor by at least 8".

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING AND POWER LINES

1.  If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your VCR, be sure
    the antenna or cable system is grounded, thus providing some protection
    against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  Section 810 of the
    National Electrical Code,  ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information
    regarding 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. 
    See diagram below.

2.  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 come into contact with power lines or circuits.  When
    installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
    to keep from coming into contact with power lines or circuits;
    contact with them might be fatal.

SERVICE

1.  Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself.  Instead, unplug it and
    contact a qualified service technician.

2.  Be sure the service technician uses authorized replacement parts of
    their equivalents.  Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical shock
    or other hazards.

3.  Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician
    performs safety checks to certify that your VCR is in safe operating
    order.

ACCESSORIES

Your VCR includes the following accessories.  Be sure to remove these
items before you store the packing material.

    Remote Control -       controls most of your VCR's functions.

    75-ohm Coaxial Cable - connects the VCR's VHF/UHF CATV OUT terminal to
                           your TV's antenna terminals.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Condensation inside the VCR can cause tape jams or video head damage.
When you first install your VCR, or when you move it from a cold area to a
warm one, let it sit for about 2 hours before you plug it in and begin
operation.  This allows complete evaporation of any moisture inside
the VCR that could damage it.

CAUTION:  Do not use your VCR in areas of high humidity.
