1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. EXCEPTION: Aproduct that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.

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

7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video 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, and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this video product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video 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.

10. Power Sources - This video 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 appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is 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 fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be rout-

ed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard to proper ground-

ing 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this video product 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 video product due to lightning and power-line surges.

15. 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.

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 video product through any 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 the video product.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video 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 video 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

video product.

c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the video 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 video product to its normal operation.

e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-

mance this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are 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.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this video product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the video product is in proper operating condition.

22. Heat - This video product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

COMPONENT VIDEO IN JACKS

FOR TVs WITH S-VIDEO INPUT JACK

Use an S-Video cable (commercially available) in place of the yellow video cable to enjoy higher quality pictures. The S-Video connection only supplies video (picture) in the DVD mode of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS. Therefore, in order to use the VCR features or view TV channels on the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS, you still need to either connect the RF cable between the ANT-OUT jack of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS and the TV’s Antenna In jack, or connect the yellow video cable as described earlier (Fig.1). To connect the supplied RF cable, see “DVD/VCR TO TV CONNECTION” on page 13.

[Fig. 2]

FOR TVs WITH

COMPONENT VIDEO IN JACKS

Use a component video cable (commercially available) in place of the yellow video cable to enjoy higher quality pictures. The component video connection only supplies video (picture) in the DVD mode of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS. Therefore, in order to use the VCR features or view TV channels at the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS, you still need to either connect the RF coaxial cable between the ANT-OUT jack of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS and the TV’s Antenna In jack, or connect the yellow video cable as described earlier (Fig. 1). To connect the supplied RF cable, see “DVD/VCR TO TV CONNECTION” on page 13.

Notes

¡The audio source on a disc in the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround format cannot be recorded as digital

sound by an MD or DAT deck.

¡Set DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD disc using incorrect set-

tings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (See page 29 to set DOLBY DIGITAL to ON)
