Wai, ranty Registration
No other RCA Video Cassette Recorder has the same serial number as yours. It is important that you
record the number and other vital information here, in case your VCR is stolen or in case you need a
complete description for any other reason. You will find the model and serial numbers on the back of
the VCR. You will also find both numbers recorded on your registration form.

Model: Serial Number
VCR registration is very important so that you can be contacted should there be a safety inspection,
modification, or product recall under applicable laws or regulations or otherwise. The dealer who sold
you the VCR should have registered it and given you a copy of the registration form.
If your dealer did not give you a copy of the registration, contact him promptly and ask for it. You
must be able to show your registration or evidence of purchase date to any RCA Authorized VCR
Servicenter or the RCA Service Company to receive warranty parts and service. We suggest you attach
your sales slip and warranty registration to this booklet and keep them in a safe place for future
reference.
Safety Precautions
Your VCR operates on 120 volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a
polarized plug. Because one blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits in
the wall socket only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of this plug. If you
need an extension, use a polarized cord.
Caution: To prevent electric shock do not use the polarized plug on this Video
Cassette Recorder with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
