THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

AMEUBLES- Cet appareil ne doit être

placé que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of this product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing this product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. 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.

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 this 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 respect 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning-For added protection for this product receiver

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 this 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 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 liquid of any kind on this 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 or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into this

product.

c. If this product has been exposed to rain or water.

Information on Digital Broadcasting

ATSC

Receives ATSC

(Set Top Box)

STB

Digital terrestrial antenna

Digital terrestrial signals

Digital broadcasting is the most advanced format of broadcasting, employing a new technology for compression of audio and video signals which allows broadcasters to transmit digital signals using existing terrestrial systems.

Due to this dramatic progress, new features of broadcasting service such as widescreen formats and higher definition provide ways to experience the full benefits of digital transmission.

Digital broadcasting overcomes problems experienced with analog TV such as ghosting, “snowy” pictures and interference. Digital TV has a dramatic effect on these problems by its very nature.

In addition, the number of channels available has dramatically increased, so that you can make the best choice among the variety of programs anytime with a clear picture.

It is also possible to transmit multiple Standard Definition TV (SDTV*) programs within the same bandwidth. Some data capacity can also be allocated to provide more effective closed captioning or multiple language soundtracks.

Your current TV can be used for its entire service life. This STB (Set Top Box) will now make this possible.

Major Features of STB

• Capable of receiving digital (ATSC*) broadcasts • Alternative languages for OSD (English, Spanish

and French)

• Capable of receiving Standard Definition TV

• Sub-channels* through a single digital channel

(SDTV*) broadcasts

ATSC - Advanced Television Systems Committee: This group is working to establish the standards for digital TV broadcasting and digital TV equipment for both SDTV and HDTV.

SDTV - Standard Definition Television:

Sub-Channel - The compression of audio and

video signals enables each digital channel to carry different programs on sub-channels. Select them by simply pressing [CH

/ ] or the number buttons

on your remote control when available.

SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480i. SDTV provides lower resolution, yet presents a very sharp, clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit multiple programs per channel.
