PRECAUTIONS - 5 -
11. Grounding or Polarization-This video product 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 that 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning-For added protection for this VCR 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. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
17. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this video product through any 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 video product.
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:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the VCR.
c. If the VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the VCR does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an 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.
e. If the VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. 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 or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this VCR, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the VCR is in proper operating condition.
22. Heat-This VCR should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
