If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.

If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of your product before you call. This information is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representa- tive. If you believe the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:

•Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

•Avoid dusty or humid places.

•Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.

•Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

•Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.

•Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.

•Please do not use this TV/VCR under high temperature conditions.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards

•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

•Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

•If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an authorized service center.

•Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

•Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.

Dew Warning (Moisture Condensation)

•Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in your TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and the TV/VCR could be damaged. If you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.

TV/VCR will not perform a timer recording.

•Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 35 - 38). Midnight is 12 a.m. Noon is 12 p.m.

•Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.

•Make sure the clock is set (pages 12 - 17).

•Make sure there is a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.

•If the power fails, programmed timer recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automatically if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14 - 17. If you are not using the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12 - 13.) The timer recording will not occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the power failure.

•Make sure RECORD DEFEAT is set to OFF (page 43).

TV/VCR will not record.

•Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).

•Make sure RECORD DEFEAT is set to OFF (page 43).

•Plug the power cord into an active AC outlet (page seven).

•Check your hookups (pages six - seven).

•Set up the channels (page 10).

• Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.
