EXCEPTION:A product 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

6.Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by

the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.Water and Moisture- Do not use this 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 product on an unstable cart, stand,tripod, bracket,or table.The 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 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 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 product on a bed, sofa, rug,or other similar surface. This 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 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 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 routed 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 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 infor-

mation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup-

porting 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 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 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.

You cannot record copy-protected discs or tapes using this unit. Copy-protected material includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will be paused or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed onscreen.

• When DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, title menu will be created automatically.

What is “CPRM”?

This is a format used to record copy-once programs. By recording coded data on the area of DVD discs that ordinary writing software cannot write, it prevents copy-once programs from being recorded repeatedly on different media. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but then you cannot make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are compatible with CPRM.
