Chapter 1

WARNING

Like any avtivity

lhal

involves

prolonged periods of silting,

using the

@

World

and stiff. In addition, using a

keyboard improperly

can sometimes be associated with

RSIs (repetitive

stress

injuries), particularly in

the

wrist.

If at any time during or after

typing you feel

discomfort, including

aching, numbness or tingling in one

or both hands, wrist, elbows,

shoulders or neck/back you should

consult a

physician.

To lesson

the chance of injury/discomfort,

we suggest:

•

Take frequent

breaks from typing

•

Make sure to keep your wrist

straight.

•Avoid using

unnecessary force when typing.

Care and handling

Keep these important

safety instructions in mind as

you use compact discs

(CD's):

•

Hold a disc by the edges or

by one edge and the center hole. Do not

touch

the

disc surface.

•

To

clean discs, wipe the shiny (non-labled)

surface with a soft, damp cloth,

working in straight

lines from center to edge. Do not use any

form of

cleaning agent.

•

To

avoid

damage to your discs, follow

these guidelines:

Setting

Up

Your

eWorld

Special setups

When setting up your @World, there are two special situations you might

want

to take note of:

•

You may

want

to use a VGA computer monitor

Instead

of

your TV.

As an

alternative

to

connecting the @World to

your

TV, you can connect it to

your VGA monitor. For more information, see Appendix A. When you are

done, return to this chapter for information on how to attach

the

@

World

controller and how

to

turn

on

the equipment.

•

Your TV doesn't have a video Input jack. If your TV doesn't have a video

input jack, you cannot connect the @World directly to your TV. Instead,

you can connect the

@World

to your videocassette recorder

(VCR)

or to

your TV through an RF modulator. We recommend a Radio Shack RF

modulator, catalog number

15-1283.

For more information, see Appendix

A.

When

you're done, return to this chapter for information on

how to

attach the ©World controller and how to turn on the equipment.

Choosing a good location for your @World

You need to put your ©World in a place where it can have plenty of

ventilation.

It is important that

you:

•

don't put the @World

on top of anything that generates heat, such

as an

audio amplifier.

•

don’t place the @World on a soft carpet,

bed, sofa or similar surface.

•

don't push the @World up against the wall

or similar hard vertical surface.

•

don't push sharp objects into any of the @World

openings, this could cause

shorts and

pose a harzard.

don't attempt

to

service

the

©World

yourself, you will void

your warranty

and could be exposed to lethal voltages

It is a good idea to place the unit

on a

stable

hard surface, such as a table, next

to

your

TV.

Connecting the @World to

your television

lb connect the

@

World

to your TV, use the stereo audio/compositc video

cable and power cord that came in

the box.

WARNING

Before you connect the @World to your TV,

make sure that

they are both turned

off.

Connecting the stereo audio/composite video

cable

Setting Up Your ©World

IMPORTANT If your TV doesn't have a video input jack, you

can connect the @World to your

VCR’s video

input jack or

use an RF modulator (See

Appendix A for more

information).

IMPORTANT II your TV doesn't have two audio Input jacks, and

you would like to hear

stereo

see

Appendix

A

lor how to connect

the audio

cables

to your

home stereo or stereo VCR.

Insert the yellow plug of the stereo audio/composlte video cable
Into the video jack on the back ot the ©World.

Insert the other yellow plug Into your TV's video Input jack.

Insert one ol the red plugs Into the right audio output lack, and

one ol the white plugs into the

lett audio output jack ol the

©World.

Insert the other red plug Into the right audio Input jack, and the

other white plug Into the left audio Input jack ol

your TV.

Note that if your

TV

supports

super-video (S-vidco), you

can use an

S-vidco cable (not included) instead of the

composite video cable portion (yellow plugs) of the stereo

audio/composite video

cable

An

S-video cable may be

obtained

at

your local consumer electronics retailer. If you

use an S-video cable do not use the

yellow plugs of the

stereo

audio/composite video cable If you da you'll have

poor picture quality. S-video offers superior picture quality.

Congratulations! You have just connected your

@

World to

the stereo TV. If you

would

like to

know how to connect the

@World to your home stereo or stereo VCR, see the next

section. If not, you can proceed to the section

"Selecting the

Appropriate Video Mode."
