IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
1. Read instructions — All the safety and
operating instructions should be read
before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and
operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings — All warnings on the
appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions — All operating and
use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning — Unplug TV/VCR from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments — Do not use attachments
not recommended by the TV/VCR manu-
facturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture — Do not use this TV/
VCR near water-for example, near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool.
8. Accessories — Do not place this TV/VCR
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The TV/VCR may fall, causing
serious injury to someone and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recom-
mended by the manufacturer or sold with
the TV/VCR. Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. An
appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause an appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation — Slots and openings in the
cabinet and the back or bottom are pro-
vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the TV/VCR and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the TV/
VCR on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface.
This TV/VCR should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register. This TV/
VCR should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
10. Power Sources — This TV/VCR should be
operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power sup-
plied to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For TV/
VCRs intended to operate from battery
power or other sources, refer to the operat-
ing instructions.
11. Grounding and Polarization — This TV/
VCR is equipped with a polarized alternat-
ing-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply
cords should be routed so they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying partic-
ular attention to cords at plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an out-
side antenna or cable system is connected
to the TV/VCR, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1984, 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 of grounding conductors, location of
