                  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 TV/VCR and to protect it from
                  overheating.  These openings must not be blocked by
                  placing the TV/VCR on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
                  surface.

                  This TV/VCR should never be placed near or over a
                  radiator or heat register.  This TV/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 TV/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 TV/VCRs intended to operate from battery
                    power or other sources, refer to the operating
                    instructions.

11. Grounding and Polarization - This TV/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 TV/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 TV/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 TV/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 for 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
                              TV/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 TV/VCR.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this TV/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 TV/VCR from the wall outlet and

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Condensation inside the Model 36's VCR can cause tape jams or video head
damage.  When the Model 36's automatic dew sensor senses moisture, Dew
appears and the Model 36 will not play a tape.

If DEW appears, or when you move your Model 36 from a cold area to a warm
one, unplug the Model 36 and let it sit for about 2 hours, or until DEW no
longer appears when you plug it in.  This allows complete evaporation of
any moisture inside the Model 36.
