14. Lightning — For added protection for this 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 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 exten-
sion cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any
kind into this 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 VCR.
18. Servicing — Do not attempt to service this VCR yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dan-
gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this VCR from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel under the following conditions:
•
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.

If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
VCR.
•
If the VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
•
If the 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 VCR to its normal operation.
•
If the VCR has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
•
When the VCR exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance — this indicates a need for service.
20. 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. Unau-
thorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,
injury to persons or other hazards.

repairs to this VCR, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine that the VCR is in
proper operating condition.
