IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO THIS PRODUCT, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE PRODUCT.

„INSTALLATION

1POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from power source indicated on unit or in this manual. If uncertain, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify your home power source.

2POWER CORD PLUG

For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug. Always hold the plug firmly and make sure your hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC power cord. Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

The plug fits into outlet only one way. If it cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.

3POWER CORD

To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against electrical shock, fire or personal injury:

•Keep power cord away from heating appliances and walking traffic. Do not rest heavy objects on, or roll such objects over the power cord.

•Do not tamper with the cord in any way.

•An extension cord should have the same type plug (polarized or grounding) and must be securely connected.

•Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are fire hazards.

•Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified electrician.

4DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. If blocked, heat build-up may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes or discs.

For your protection:

a. Never cover ventilation slots while unit is ON, or operate unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.

b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or rack, unless properly ventilated.

5AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES Do not place unit over or near a heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles, in high temperature locations [over 95 °F (35 °C)], or in over 75 % humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one, moisture may condense in unit and on the tape causing damage. Never subject unit to vibration, impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as internal parts may be seriously damaged.

6TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

•Never place unit on support or stand that is not firm, level, and

adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.

• Move any appliance and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause objects to overturn.

•Carefully follow all operating instructions.

„SERVICE

2REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified by the manufacturer, or have equal safety characteristics as original parts. The use of unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

3SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING

After unit is serviced or repaired, request that a thorough safety check be done as described in the manufacturer’s service literature to ensure video unit is in safe operating condition.

•Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or fire hazard. Do not put any foreign object on the tray.

•Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to avoid electrical interference.

5USING ACCESSORIES

DO NOT USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over- spray, or seep into unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance, such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.

„OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information regarding 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.

2KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS Locate an outside antenna system well away
