TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO THIS PRODUCT, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE PRODUCT.

INSTALLATION

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operato only from a power source indicated on the unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power source in your home.

2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG

As a safety feature, this product comes with either a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

This plug will only fit Into a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

3 POWER CORD

Make sure power cords are routed so that they are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll over them, or be in the way of walking traffic. If an extension cord is used, make sure it also has either a polarized or grounded plug and that the cords can be securely connected. Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified service technician.

Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and should be avoided.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. If they are blocked, heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes or discs.

For protection, follow these rules:

a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.

b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.

S UPLACEMENT: AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR Sudden TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles, in high temperature [over 104^ (40^)] , or in over 75% humidity. If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one, moisture may condense in the unit and on the tape causing damage. Never subject the unit to vibration, impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as internal parts may be seriously damaged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface.
• Do not place this unit on any support that is not firm, level, and adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.
• An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
• Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the manufacturer's recommended accessories when operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage surges.

Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code, in

USA Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/INFPA 70, 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 ofmounting condusion location of antenna discharge

grounding conductors , location of antenna dischargeunit connection to grounding electrodes and equipment

in the cornection to ground the grounding electrode.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR

CIRCUITS

An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside

antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.

USING THE UNIT

If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.

Timer recording cannot be performed...	• Confirm that clock is set to current time and date. • Make sure Cable/DSS box (if used) is left on and tuned to channel to be recorded. • Set recording start/stop times correctly. (p. 24) • Timer recording may not be performed or continued if a power interruption occurs before or during a Timer Recording, even after power is restored.
There is no playback picture, or the playback picture is noisy or contains streaks...	• Select channel 3 or 4 on TV to match VCR output channel (3 or 4) (p. 16) or select LINE. • Set VCR/TV selector to "VCR." • Adjust TRACKING control in either direction. (p. 4) • Try Head Cleaning. (p. 4)

DECK cannot be controlled...	• Make sure DECK power is on. • Check Remote batteries. • Make sure VCR LOCK is set to off. (p. 32) • Make sure Remote is in proper mode. (p. 28) • Make sure Timer Recording is not in progress.
Remote Control	Solution

(p.9) • Avoid any object blocking signal path. • Check Remote batteries. (p. 4) • Exposing DECK remote sensor to direct fluorescent or outdoor light may cause signal interference.

DVD/CD	Solution
Play fails to start even when PLAY is pressed...	·This DECK cannot play discs other than DVDs and CDs. ·The disc may be dirty and require cleaning.
Picture is distorted during rapid advance or rapid reverse...	·The picture will be somewhat distorted at times: this is normal.
No Forward/Reverse Scene Search play...	·Some discs may have sections which prohibit Forward/Reverse Scene Search. (p. 23)
Audio soundtrack and/or subtitle language is not the one selected at the initial settings...	·If the audio soundtrack and/or subtitle language selected at DVD initial settings does not exist on the disc, it will not be accessible.
No subtitles...	·Subtitles appear only when available on disc. ·“OFF” is selected at the changing subtitle language. Select “ON” at the “Subtitle Languages” section (p. 36) to display the subtitles.
Alternative audio soundtrack (or subtitle) language cannot be selected...	·Alternative language cannot be selected with discs which do not contain more than one language. ·For some discs, alternative language cannot be selected with the AUDIO or SUB TITLE button. Try selecting it from the DVD MAIN MENU if available.
Angle cannot be changed...	·This function is dependent on software availability. Even if disc has multiple angles, they may be recorded for specific scenes only (ANGLE indicator on DECK lights up). (p. 37)
Miscellaneous	Solution
Programs cannot be viewed on TV...	·Make sure TV is tuned to VCR's output channel (3 or 4). ·Check connections between DECK, external antenna, and TV. ·Set VCR/TV selector to “TV.” (p. 21) ·Make sure proper signal source is selected. ·If the television is not progressive compatible, a progressive scan picture is not available. Connect the Video Output or S-Video Output connector (pp. 12, 13) and set PROGRESSIVE OUT to “OFF” in the DVD Main Menu. (p. 55)
Video cassette cannot be inserted...	·Insert the cassette with window side up; record tab facing you.
Video cassette ejects when a recording is started or the power is turned off for timer recording...	·Make sure cassette record tab is intact. (p. 6)
In Stop mode, the motor (CYLINDER) continues to rotate...	·To enable Quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about 3 minutes. This reduces response time from Stop to Play mode.
The disc cannot be removed...	·First, unplug DECK. Then, prepare a rigid wire (e.g. an extended paper clip) and, applying moderate force, insert it straight into the hole at the base of the tray. The tray will eject a little. Now, pull the tray all the way out and remove the disc. (p. 9)
