The safety and operating instruc tions should be retained for future reference.
16.Water and Moisture
Do not us e this product near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a s wimming pool and the like.
17. Power Sources
The product s hould be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power s upply to your home, consult your product dealer or local
power c ompany. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating ins tructions.
18. Grounding or Polarization
This produc t 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 ins ert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electric ian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug. Alternative Warnings -This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug,
a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to ins ert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable s ystem is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage s urges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electric al Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to antenna
disc harge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See fig. A on page 7.
20. Lightning
For added protection for this 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 product due to lightning and powerline surges.
21. Power Lines
An outs ide antenna system should be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power c ircuits, 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.
22. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets , extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON HANDLING:
• When shipping the TV/DVD player, always use the
original shipping carton and packing materials. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray near
the TV/DVD player.
• The top and rear panels of the TV/DVD player may
become warm after a long period of use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
• When the TV/DVD player is not in use, be sure to
remove the disc and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the TV/DVD player for a long
period, the unit may not function properly in the future.
Turn on and use the TV/DVD player occasionally.
NOTES ON CLEANING:
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as
thinner and benzene, as they may damage the
surface of the TV/DVD player.
• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the
unit, follow that product’s instructions.
Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or
other components of playback mechanism should be
performed by a qualified service technician.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:
The TV/DVD player is a high technology, precision
device. If the optical pic k-up lens and disc drive parts are
dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To
obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection
and maintenanc e (cleaning or parts replacement) every
1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details , contact your nearest dealer.
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:
Moisture condensation damages the TV/DVD player.
Please read the following carefully.
• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the TV/
DVD player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases:
• When you bring the TV/DVD player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
• When you use the TV/DVD player in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind
from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
• In summer, when you use the TV/DVD player in a hot
and humid place just after you moved the unit from an
air conditioned room.
• When you use the TV/DVD player in a humid place.
Do not use the TV/DVD player when moisture
condensation may occur.
• If you use the TV/DVD player in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the TV/DVD player to the wall
outlet, turn on the TV/DVD player and leave it “ON” for
two or three hours. After two or three hours, the TV/DVD
player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the TV/DVD player connected to the wall outlet and
moisture condensation will seldom occur.
POWER SOURCE
Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet
having 120V, 60Hz.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the
possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized
AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to
have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
