ing 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

unit. Any mounting of the appli-

ance should follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions and should

use a mounting accessory rec-

ommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combina-

tion should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause

the appliance and cart combina-

tion to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the

13. Outdoor Antenna grounding - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the anten-

na 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 respect

to proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc-

ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-

charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-

trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

(Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 unit.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself

as opening or removing covers may expose you to dan-

gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this unit from the

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

unit.

c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the unit 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 techni-

cian to restore the unit to its normal operation.

e. If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the unit 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 replace-

ment 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 unit, ask the service technician to perform

routine safety checks to determine that the unit is in

proper operating condition.

DEGAUSSING

This television has a degaussing circuit that will clear

up color errors on the TV screen that are caused by

any excess magnetism which happens to get too close

to the TV. This circuit is designed to operate once

when the set is first plugged in. If minor color errors

are seen in some locations on the screen, please

unplug the TV for approximately 30 minutes. When

the TV is plugged back in, the degaussing circuit will

operate once to clear them up. Repeat this procedure

any time the TV screen is accidentally magnetized or

when the TV is moved or relocated.

Electric motor brush noise

•

Weak snowy reception on TV screen

•

Multiplex signal reception displaying picture

ghosts or airplane flutter.

playback (the still mode). Press

[PAUSE/STILL

]

during playback. Only tapes recorded in the SLP

mode will show the least amount of lines. Press

[PLAY/

] to return to playback.

NOTES:

•

Usually there will be video “noise” lines (black

and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is

normal.

If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP

mode, the still picture will be black and white in

addition to the “noise” lines.

This is not a fault of the machine, but is a by-

product of the technology involved in producing

a unit with 2 video heads.

•

If the unit is left in the Pause mode for more than 5

minutes, the unit will automatically switch to the

stop mode.

NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode)

This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise

lines of a still picture. Press [PAUSE/STILL

] so that

the noise lines change position on the screen so you can

see the picture in its entirety without distracting noise

lines.

NOTE:

•

This feature can be activated ONLY when viewing

a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape was

originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the still

picture may revert to black and white in addition to

the “noise bars”. This is normal.

VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL

In the pause/still mode only, when the picture begins

to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing

[CHANNEL K/L].

NOTE:

•

If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposi-

tion or reduce them. Refer to “NOISE CANCEL”

above.
