6.Attachments. Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.Water and Moisture. Do not use this product near water —

for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

8.Accessories. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, using mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

9.Carts and Stands. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. Move an appliance and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the combination to overturn.

10.Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the products on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or

the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking labels. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

12.Grounding or Polarization. This product is equipped with polarized alternating-current line plugs (plugs having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power Cord Protection. The power-supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliances.

14. Lightning. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when left un-attended 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.

15. Power Lines. An outside antenna system should not be located near 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 product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on this audio/video product.

18. Servicing. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug this product from wall outlets and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a.When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

b.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

c.If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d.If the product 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 product to its normal operation.

e.If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f.When the product 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 has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that the parts have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
