IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
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 mount-
ing 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+VCR 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 built-in 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 r outed 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 sur e
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
