11) Power Sources -This product should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to oper-
ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization - This product may be
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug
(a plug 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

an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16)Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

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 liq-
uid of any kind on the 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.
19) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from
the wall outlet 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 follow-
ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instruc-
tions as an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require exten-
sive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in per-
formance - this indicates a need for service.

required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.

player and set the Progressive switch on the back of the DVD player to "PROGRESSIVE'. Next, set your TV to the progres-
s{ve scan mode
If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, keep the Progressive switch to "INTERLACE'.
• Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.
What is Progressive Scanning?

than that of traditional (480i) television signals.

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD
player to your TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not includ-
ed. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio end video inputs on the RF Modulator, and
then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked "TO TV") to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna termi-
nal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.
If your TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that
cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator
(usually marked _ANT IN_), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's antenna
terminal as described above
