IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-
14.
current line plug that has one blade wider than the other. This plug will only t into the power
outlet in one direction. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, your outlet may
be obsolete; contact a licensed electrician to replace it. Never attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Power-Cord Protection: Care must be taken to ensure that power supply cords are routed
15.
so as to avoid being damaged, such as by being walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them. You should pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the product.
Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attachment plug with
16.
overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating instructions for replacement
or directions to reset the protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, please
consult an authorized service technician, and make sure s/he has used a replacement plug
that has the same overload protection as the original plug as specied by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure
17.
the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Ar ticle 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70 provides
information with regard 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 gure).
Lightning: Lightning can cause power surges, which may damage or destroy your product.
18.
For added protection, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time.
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.

Disc Care and Maintenance
Optical discs (DVDs, CDs) contain high-density compressed data and need
proper handling.
Handling a Disc
Hold a DVD/CD by its edges. Avoid
•
touching the recorded side of the disc.
To remove a DVD/CD from its storage
case, press down on the center reten-
tion mechanism of the case and lift the
disc out.
Do not bend or press discs.
•
Do not subject discs to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high humid-
•
ity, or high temperatures.
To reduce the risk of scratches, always put discs back in their case after
•
use. Store discs vertically in a cabinet.
Do not place stickers or labels on either side of a disc.
•
Cleaning a Disc
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off any ngerprints and dusts from the playing surface of the disc. Wipe in a straight line radially from the center to the outside edge
of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will not affect playback quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-static sprays, ben-
zene, or thinners to clean a disc. Doing so will damage the surface of
the disc permanently.
