5. Cleaning -
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use

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 pro-
tect 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 other similar surface.
This VCR should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat regis-
ter. This VCR should not be placed in a built-in installation such as
a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manu-
facturers' 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 dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirement for the ground-
ing 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 lighting and power-line
surges.
15. Power Lines -
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over-
head power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or when 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 adjustments 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 ampli-
fiers) that produce heat.
Note to the cable TV system installer:
This reminder is to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section
820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which 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 practical.
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.
