1.  Read instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should
                        be read before the appliance is operated.

2.  Retain instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be
                          retained for future reference.

3.  Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
                    instructions should be adhered to.

4.  Follow instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
                          followed.  

5.  Cleaning - Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning it.  Do
               not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp
               cloth for cleaning.

6.  Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the VCR 
                  manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.  Water and Moisture - Do not use this VCR near water - for example, near
                         a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
                         tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

8.  Accessories - Do not place this VCR on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
                  bracket, or table.  The VCR may fall, causing serious
                  injury to someone and serious damage to the appliance.
                  Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
                  recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the VCR.
                  Any mounting of the appliance should follow the 
                  manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting
                  accessory recommended by the manufacturer.  An appliance
                  and cart combination should be moved with care.

                  Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may 
                  cause an appliance and cart combination to overturn.

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 protect it from overheating.
                  These openings must not be blocked or covered.  The
                  openings should never be blocked by placing the VCR on a
                  bed, sofa, rug, or 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
                                 connected to the VCR, be sure the 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.

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 
                               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.

19.  Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this VCR from the wall outlet and
                                refer servicing to qualified service
                                personnel under the following conditions:

     When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

     If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the VCR.

     If the VCR has been exposed to rain or water.

     If the VCR does not operate normally by following the operating
     instructions.  Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
     operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls 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.

21.  Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this VCR,
                    ask the service technician to perform routine safety
                    checks to determine that the VCR is in proper operating
                    condition.

22.  Heat - This VCR product should be situated away from heat sources such
            as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
            (including amplifiers) that produces heat.

Warning:  To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
          product to rain or moisture.

Caution:  To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or
          back.  No user-serviceable parts inside.  Refer servicing to
          qualified personnel.
