9.  Ventilation -

    Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
    for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the VCR and to

    covered.  The openings should never be blocked by placing the VCR on a
    bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

    This VCR should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
    register.  This VCR should not be placed in a built-in installation
    such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
    the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources -

    This VCR 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 supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
    power company.  For VCRs intended to operate from battery power or
    other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding and Polarization -

    This VCR 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.

12. Power-Cord Protection -

    Power-supply cords should be routed so 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. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -

    If an outside 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 No. 70-1984,
    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.

14. Lightning -

    For added protection for this 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 VCR due to lightning and
    power-line surges.

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.

    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 VCR through openings as they
    may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
    result in a fire or electric shock.  Never spill liquid of any kind on
    the VCR.

18. Servicing -

    Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself as opening or removing
    covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.  Refer
    all servicing to qualified service personnel.

        may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
        qualified technician to restore the VCR to its normal operation.

        If the VCR has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

        When the VCR exhibits a distinct change in performance -
        this indicates a need for service.

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 characteristics as the original part.  Unauthorized
    substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or
    other hazards.
