2. Lightning

For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning 
and power-line surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna 
system should not be

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.

If your product is not operating correctly or exhibits a marked 
change in performance and you are unable to restore normal 
operation by following the detailed procedure in its operating 
instructions, do not attempt to service it yourself as opening or

restore the product to its normal operation.

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

shock or other hazards.

4. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the 
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the 
product is in safe operating condition.

How to use the Remote

Before use, insert two AA size batteries into the Remote with the 
polarity (

 and 

) matched correctly as indicated on the battery 

compartment or on the lid.
The Remote can operate most of your VCR’s functions, as well as 
basic functions of TV sets, cable boxes and DBS receivers.

Point the Remote toward the remote sensor on the target 
component.

The maximum operating distance of the Remote is about 8 m.

NOTE:

If the Remote does not work properly, remove its batteries, wait for 
a few seconds, replace the batteries and then try again.

Video heads cleaning

The heads get dirty in the following cases:

in an environment prone to extreme temperature or humidity.

in a dusty environment

flaw, dirt or mold on video tapes

continuous usage for a long time

Use a dry cleaning cassette — TCL-2 — when:

Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played back.

The picture is unclear or no picture appears.

“USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen (only with 
“SUPERIMPOSE” set to “ON” (

pg. 15)).

ATTENTION:

To mobile phone users:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the VCR may cause 
picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a 
blue back display.

On placing the VCR:

Some TVs generate strong magnetic fields.

Make sure to place the VCR at least 20 cm (7 or 8 inch) away 
from a TV.

DO NOT place the VCR close to a TV as it may cause noise, 
picture disturbance or malfunctions (power off, etc.) to occur.
