IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
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 Warning - 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 TV/VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the TV/VCR
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this TV/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 TV/VCR on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The TV/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 TV/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 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
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 TV/VCR.
If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain
or water.
If the TV/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 TV/VCR to its
normal operation.
If the TV/VCR has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
When the TV/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 TV/
VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper
operating condition.
22. Heat - This TV/VCR product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
WARNING: When you install an outdoor antenna, use extreme caution. If
the antenna starts to fall, let it go! If could contact
overhead power lines. If the antenna touches the power line,
contact with the antenna, mast cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the
antenna. Do not attempt to remove it yourself!
SERVICE
1. Except as noted in this owner's manual, do not attempt to service this
TV/VCR yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a qualified service
technician.
2. Be sure the service technician uses authorized replacement parts or
their equivalents. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical
shock, or other hazards.
3. Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician
performs safety checks to certify that your TV/VCR is in safe
operating order.
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.
