(Fig. A)

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/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 or frayed.

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

c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.

d. 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.

e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for service.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

CLOCK SET UP (AUTO / MANUAL)

Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording. If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is available in your area, follow "AUTO CLOCK SETTING". If it is not, follow "MANUAL CLOCK SETTING".

AUTO CLOCK SETTING

You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a new service called Extended Data Service (XDS).

Make sure ...

  • Use the remote control for this procedure.
    • TV/VCR power must be turned on.
  • Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.
  • The cable converter box must be turned on if your TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)

NOTES:

  • Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it can be done again if the clock's time has become incorrect for some reason.
  • If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station must be selected on the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box or satellite box (usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically.
    If you do not know what your local PBS station is, then follow "Manual Clock Settings" on page 15.
    The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the cable converter box or satellite box.

If you choose [AUTO],

- the TV/VCR must search until the PBS channel is found. It must scan each channel for a couple of seconds to determine if that channel is transmitting the XDS signal. This search could take up to 10 minutes if the local PBS station is on a high numbered channel in your area or on your cable system.

- if the time, that is automatically set by this selected PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS station, but one from a different time zone. Or there is a case that no channel is broadcasting the XDS signal in your area, as shown by no time being set even after a 10 minutes search. In these cases, you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set the clock manually and turn off the Auto Clock Setting feature.

CLOSED CAPTION SYSTEM

You can view specially labeled (cc) TV programs, movies, news, pre-recorded tapes with either a dialogue caption or text display.

CAPTION mode: By choosing the caption mode, you can watch dramas, movies and news while captioning the dialogues and the contents of news.

TEXT mode: By choosing the text mode, you can watch half screen text information if you want.

1-2: You may get these captions or text information by selecting either "1" or "2". Caption "2" is used, usually for a second language if available.

NOTE:

Not all programs are broadcast with closed captions. Your television is designed to provide error free closed captions from high quality antenna, cable and VCR signals. Conversely, poor quality signals are likely to result in caption errors or no captions at all. Common signal conditions which may cause captions errors are listed below:

• Automobile ignition noise
• Electric motor brush noise
- Weak snowy reception on TV screen
- Multiplex signal reception displaying picture ghosts or airplane flutter.
- Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes.

NOTE:

If the TV/VCR displays a black box on the TV screen, this means that the TV/VCR is set to the TEXT mode. To clear screen, select [CAPTION1], [CAPTION2] or [OFF].

MAINTENANCE

CABINET CLEANING

  • Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the TV/VCR with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.
  • Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the TV/VCR. Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

HEAD CLEANING

● Picture playback may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video heads after long periods of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause

this problem. In this case, video head cleaning requires highly technical attention, therefore consult the nearest our Authorized Service Center. Clean heads only when problems occur.

SERVICING

- Should your TV/VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power cord, and take the unit to the nearest our Authorized Service Center for servicing. To locate an authorized service center, please call 1-800-242-7158.

If you have followed the instructions contained in this manual and have difficulty in operating your TV/VCR, locate the PROBLEM in the left column below. Check the corresponding CORRECTIVE ACTION column to remedy the problem.

Video or color fades in and out when making a copy of a video tape.None. (You are copying a copyrighted video tape and are experiencing copy guard protection.)
CLOSED CAPTION PROBLEMPOSSIBLE REMEDY
My TV/VCR is showing captions that are misspelled.You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the normal time available for editing the captions.
My TV/VCR will not show the text in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said.Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
My captions are scrambled with white boxes on the TV screen.Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
My program guide listed a TV show as being closed captioned but none of the captions were displayed.Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed up the actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
My prerecorded video tape does not show any captions. The tape box mentions it being closed captioned.The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process.
My TV screen shows a black box on certain channels.You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode to CAPTION [OFF].
