SAFETY

Before you begin, be sure to read these special safety precautions.

READ INSTRUCTIONS

All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the unit is operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS

The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS

All warnings on the unit and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

All operating and maintenance instructions
should be followed.

CLEANING

Unplug this video unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a dry cloth for dusting cabinet.

ATTACHMENTS

Do not use attachments not recommended
by the video product manufacturer, as they
may be hazardous.

WATER & MOISTURE

Do not use this video unit near water—for ex­ample, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool or the like.

ACCESSORIES

Do not place this video unit on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The video

unit may fall, causing serious injury to a

child or adult, and serious damage to

the unit. Use only with a cart, stand,

tripod, bracket or table recom-

mended by the manufacturer or

sold with the video unit. Any mount­ing of the unit 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.

PORTABLE CART WARNING

(Symbol provided by RETAC)

VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro­vided for ventilation to ensure reliable opera­tion of the video unit and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. Never place your DVD
system on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface, on or near a radiator or heat register.
This video unit should not be placed in a built­in installation such as a bookcase or rack un­less proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been ad­hered to.

POWER SOURCES

This video unit 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
video units intended to be operated from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

This video unit may be equipped with either
a polarized 2-wire AC line plug (a plug hav­ing one blade wider than the other) or a 3­wire grounding plug having a third (ground­ing) pin.

The 2-wire polarized 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 still fails to fit, contact your electri­cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

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 of plugs, con­venience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the unit.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA
GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is con­nected to the video unit, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built­up static charges. Section 810 of the National

Safety

iii

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
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. See
figure below.

LIGHTNING

For added protection of this video unit 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 unit due to light­ning and power line surges.

POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be lo­cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, 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.

spillage occur, unplug unit and have it
checked by a technician before use.

SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this video unit your­self as opening or removing covers may ex­pose you to a dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser­vice personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug this video unit 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 any liquid has been spilled onto or ob-

jects have fallen into the video unit.

c If the video unit has been exposed to rain

or water.

d If the video unit does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore
the video unit to its normal operation.

e If the video unit has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

f When the video unit exhibits a distinct

change in performance—this indicates a
need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

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

OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in the risk of fire or
electric shock.

OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS

Never push objects of any kind into this video
unit through openings as they may touch dan­gerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquids of any kind onto the unit. Should

2. Measure the distance from your center
speaker to your primary listening area
(e.g., 7 feet) and your rear speakers to
your primary listening area (e.g., 4 feet).

3. Calculate the difference between these
two distances (10-7=3 feet, and 10-4= 6
feet).

4. Assuming 1 MS (millisecond) delay for
every foot of distance, calculate the
proper delay, e.g. 3 MS for the center
delay and 6 MS for the rear delay.
