GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Welcome into the family of Zenith Video Recorder owners.

This guide provides instructions on how to operate your.new

VCR. It is supplemented by a booklet containing Safety Tips.

We urge you to read these publications carefully so that you

will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith VCR for

m;uay years to come.

Your new Zenith VCR has _ designed and built to give you

the very best in quality, features and performance.

Should your VCR require repair, please contact your nearest

Circuit City store to arrange for service. If you live outside

at, area serviced by Circuit City, there are many approved

Z_.nith video recorder service centers throughout the U.S.,

Canada and Mexico who can promptly and effectively attend

to ordinary service needs.

If you should have an unusual performance or service prob-

lem that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your local Cir-

cuit City or Zenith service center, please write or call:

Circuit City Answer City

2040 Thalbro Street

Richmond, VA 23230

1-800-950--9000

Monday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m. --. 9:00 p.m.

Sunday, Noon -- 8:00 p.m.

Send the model number, serial rumber, and date of purchase

or original installation, with a full explanation of the problem

and the service history. We will welcome the opportunity to

look into your specific question or problem and to be of assis-

tance in resolving it promptly.

The model and serial number:; cf your new VCR are located

on the VCR cabinet. For your fi._tureconvenience and protec-

tion, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

Model No.

Serial No.

Installation Considerations

Before you install your VCR...

Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your

VCR running cool. Air circulates through perfora-

tions in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do

not block these vents or you will shorten the life

of your VCR.

Power Source -- Your VCR is designed to oper-

ate on normal household current, 120 volt 60

Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC cur-

rel_t.

Power Cord -- Your VCR power cord has a po-

_ arized plug as required by Underwriters' Labora-

tories. It has one regular blade and one wide

blade and fits only one way into a standard electri-

cal outlet. If the blades will not enter either way,

your outlet is very old and non-standard. A new outlet should

I:e installed by a qualified electrician.

Safe Operation -- Your VCR is manufactured

A nd tested with your safety in mind. However, un-

usual stress caused by dropping or mishandling,

exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or acci-

dental spilling: of liquids into the VCR, can result in potential

electrical shock or fire hazards. If this happens, have your

VCR checked by a service technician before using it again.

].:'lease read and observe each safety point in the "Safety

".rips" folder when installing and using your VCR.

• Plugging in Your VCR -- Be sure to plug your VCR into

an "unswitched'" AC power source. The "switched" AC

outlets found on some video equipment will not continue

supplying power to the VCR once the equil')ment is turned

off. If the power to the VCE is interrupted for an extended

time, you will have to reset the clock in the VCR.

• Keep the video recorder and video cassette away from

strong magnetic fields.

• Use only Zenith approved :and recommended accessory

units with your Zenith vide,o recorder to avoid potential

hazards.

• Save the shipping carton and packing material. They will

come in handy if you ever have to ship your video re-

corder. For maximum prolection, re-pack the:video re-

corder as it was originally shipped from the factory.

Moisture condensation is apt to occur under the following

conditions:

• When the video recorder i:; moved from a cold place to a

warm place.

• Under extremely humid conditions.

In locations where moisture condensation may occur:

• Keep the :power cord plugl_,ed into an AC. outlet and the

POWER .switch set to ON. This will help prevent con-

densation from occurring.

• When condensation has occurred, it will not evaporate

quickly once the power is switched on. Wait a few hours

for the vMeo recorder to l:ecome dry betore using the

video recorder.
