Important Safety Instructions

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 other 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 manufacturers 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 the 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 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 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.
