during 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 appliance due to lightning
and power-line surges.
14.Abnormal smell – If an abnormal smell or smoke
is detected, immediately turn the power OFF and
unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Contact
your dealer or nearest service center.
15.Damage requiring service – The appliance should
be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled
into the appliance.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or
water.
D. The appliance does not appear to operate

16.Servicing – The user should not attempt to
service the appliance beyond that described in
the instruction manual. All other servicing should
be referred to qualified service personnel.
17.Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outside
antenna is connected to the appliance, be sure
the antenna 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 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 requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure.
18.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.
19.AC outlets – Do not connect other audio
equipment with a power consumption larger than
that specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel.
Never connect other electrical appliances, such
as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric
shock.
20.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
21.Attachment – Do not use attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they
may cause hazards.
22.Replacement parts – When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
23.Safety check – Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the appliance
is in proper operationg condition.
24.Do not mount this appliance to a wall or ceiling. Refer to
the installation section for proper placement.
