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.

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

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.
