-For the appliance with a polarized AC power cord plug:

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 should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

-For the appliance with a three-wire grounding type AC plug:

This plug will only fit

into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose, of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall

outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their

capacity, since this can

result in fire or electric shock.

When not in use

Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. To disconnect

the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never

pull the plug out by the cord.

Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so

that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying

particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by Sony, as they may cause hazards.

Lightning

For added protection for this appliance 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 powerline surges.

ANTENNAS

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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
