Introduction

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS			(continued)
13.	LIGHTNING
	To protect your unit from 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
	unit due to lightning and power line surges.
14.	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 onto or against 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.
15.	OVERLOADING
	Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16.	OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
	Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
	out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17.	OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
	If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
	grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
	National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 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 require-
	ments for the grounding electrode.
18.	SERVICING
	Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
	voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
	For example:
	a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
	b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
	c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
	d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
		controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls
		may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
		unit to its normal operation.
	e.	If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
	f.	When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
19.	REPLACEMENT PARTS
	When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
	the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
	Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20.	SAFETY CHECK
	Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
	determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
21.	HEAT
	The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
	products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
22.	DISC SLOT
	Keep your fingers well clear of the disc slot as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury.
23.	CONNECTING
	When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from
	the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's
	manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.
24.	SOUND VOLUME
	Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume
	sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.
25.	SOUND DISTORTION
	Do not allow the product output distorted sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.
26.	HEADPHONES
	When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continu-
