IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
6
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product 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 video product 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 supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization
-This video product is equipped with a polarized alternating-
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 that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
VCR, be sure the antenna 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 regard 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 antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning
-For added protection for this VCR 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 VCR 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. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
17. Object and Liquid Entry
-Never push objects of any kind into this video product through any
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 video product.
