Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 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 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 TV/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 TV/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. 17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this TV/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 TV/VCR. 18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV/VCR. c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV/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 TV/VCR to its normal operation. e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in performance-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. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards. 21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper operating condition. 22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Insert the stem of the antenna into the hole on the upper-back portion of the TV/VCR. Connect the VHF/UHF Rod Antenna or VHF/UHF Combination Antenna to the ANT. terminal of the TV/VCR as shown in the diagram above. For the best reception, fully extend the VHF/UHF Rod Antenna and make the necessary adjustments. (Avoid touching the top section when adjusting.) NOTE: Before plugging the Rod antenna into antenna terminal, check that the pin is not bent. If it is bent, straighten the pin as illustrated, then plug the pin into antenna terminal. VHF/UHF SEPARATE ANTENNAS In some areas it will be necessary to use an outdoor antenna. CABLE WITHOUT CONVERTER/ DESCRAMBLER BOX Use this connection if your cable system connects directly to your TV/VCR without a converter box. By using this connection you can: 1) Use the TV/VCR remote to select channels. 2) Program one or more unscrambled channels for Automatic Timer Recording. NOTE: This unit will ONLY record and view the same channel. Bent pin CABLE WITH CONVERTER/ DESCRAMBLER BOX OR SATELLITE BOX If your cable service supplies you with a converter box or if you use a satellite system, you can use the basic connection shown here. By using this connection you can also record scrambled channels. However, channel selection must be made with the converter box or satellite box. This means that channels cannot be changed using the TV/VCR Remote Control. Unattended timer recording is limited to one channel at a time. Cable Plug (Straight pin) (Needs to be straightened) NOTE: The connection of an indoor antenna may not always give acceptable TV reception. Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical. -9EN 9I03 TO RECORD A SCRAMBLED/UNSCRAMBLED CHANNEL 1.Set the TV/VCR channel selector to the output channel of the Cable Converter Box or Satellite Box.
