13. Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the

antennaorcable 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 respect to

proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of thelead-in wire toan antennadischarge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re-

quirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR re-

ceiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-

tended andunused for long periods of time, unplug it from

thewall outlet anddisconnect the antennaorcable system.

This will prevent damage to theTV/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 vokage points or short out parts that could

result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the TVNCR.

18. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR your-

self as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

A UTO CLOCK SL 171NG

You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically

by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel

in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the

following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically

monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the

PBS station in your area, using a new service called

Extended Data Service (EDS).

Make sure ...

• Turn on the TV/VCR.

• Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.

• The cable converter box must be turned on if your

TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES)

• You must use the remote control for the following

steps.

NOTES:

• Auto clock setting only needs to be set once, but can

be done again if the clock's time has become

incorrect for some reason.

• If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable

converter box, the local PBS station must be selected

on the cable box itself, andthe TV/VCR must be set

to the output channel of the cable converter box

(usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up and

automatically correct the clock.

The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the

cable converter box.

the EDS signal, because the PBS station will send this

signal only once every minute. This search could take

up to 2 hours. You may want to start this channel

search at night when the unit is not in use.

PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS

station, but one from a different time zone. Or there

is a case that no channel is broadcasting the EDS

signal in your area, as shown by no time being set

even after an overnight search. In these cases, you

must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or

set the clock manually, turning off the Auto Clock

You can view specially labeled (cc) TV programs,

movies, news and pre-recorded tapes with either a

dialogue caption or text display.

CAPTION mode: By choosing the caption mode, you

can watch dramas, movies and news, while caption-

ing the dialogues and the contents of news.

TEXT mode: By choosing the text mode, you can watch

full screen text information.

1/2: You may get these captions or text information by

selecting either "1" or "2". "2" is used usually for a

second language if available.

NOTE:

Not all programs are broadcast with closed captions.

Your television is designed to provide error free closed

captions from high quality antenna, cable and VCR

signals. Conversely, poor quality signals are likely to

result in caption errors or no captions at all. Common

signal conditions which may cause captions errors are

listed below:

• Automobile ignition noise.

• Electric motor brush noise.

• Weak snowy reception on TV Screen.

• Multiplex signal reception displaying picture ghosts

or airplane flutter.

• Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes.

Make sure ...

• Use the remote control unit for the following steps.

particular scene on a tape. In this mode, the sound is

muted.

1) While in the PLAY mode, you can view a video tape

at ahigh speed in either a forward or reverse direction

by pressing F.FWD or REW button.

the "noise" lines.

This is not a fault of the machine, but merely a

by-product of the technology involved in produc-

ing a TV/VCR with LP mode.

• If it is left in the PAUSE mode for more than five

minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to

the STOP mode.
