causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.
S3126A
(symbol provided by RETAC)
8A. 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.

Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure
reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat source. This 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.

10. POWER SOURCE

This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or
local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the respective pages in this Owner's Manual for their operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

9. VENTILATION

Important safety Instructions

This unit 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. Instead of
the polarized alternating-current line plug, your unit may be equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type 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. LIGHTNING

To protect your unit from 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 unit due to lightning and power line surges.

14. 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 onto or against 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.

15. OVERLOADING

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

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any
type of liquid into the unit.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 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.

18. SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this unit 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 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.

22

Important safety Instructions

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for
service.

20. REPLACEMENT PARTS

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

21. SAFETY CHECK

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

22. HEAT

The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

23. DISC SLOT

Keep your fingers well clear of the disc slot as it is closing. It may cause serious personal
injury.

24. CONNECTING

When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the
equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious
personal injury. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the
instructions when making any connections.

25. SOUND VOLUME

Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden
high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.

26. SOUND DISTORTION

Do not allow the product output distorted sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker
overheating and fire.

27. HEADPHONES

Do not look into the opening of the disc slot or ventilation opening of the product to see the
source of the laser beam. It may cause sight damage.

29. DISC

Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may
cause serious personal injury and product malfunction.

30. NOTE TO CABLE TV SYSTEM INSTALLER

MPEG4 DISC FUNCTION INTRODUCTION

into one CD-R disc, or can burn several films that has similar quality to
DVD into DVD-ROM disc.

some

discs with "MPEG4" logo in market are not encoded by MPEG technology.

ASPECT RATIO DESCRIPTION

When using the DVD with the internal TV,
select 4 3/LB.

SETUP

PLAY/ENTER

The following information applies only
when the DVD output is connected to an
external TV.

4 3/PS (PS = Pan and Scan)
You may select if you have a normal aspect
ratio (4:3) TV, although the NORMAL/LB
(letter box) is a more common choice. In PS
mode, widescreen material will fill the screen, but at the expense of chopping
off extreme left and right edges of the original film picture. For this feature to
work, the disc must be specially coded. Such discs are uncommon.
4 3/LB (LB = Letter Box)
You may select this if you have a normal aspect ratio (4:3) TV. Widescreen
material will be shown in pure unaltered form, allowing the entire picture area
of the original film to be viewed without any side cropping. Black bars will
appear above and below the picture.
16 9
You may select this if you have a widescreen (16:9) TV. Back bars may still
appear above and below the picture even if using a widescreen TV. This is
because some film directors prefer to use ultra widescreen aspect ratios e.g.

2.35:1. This will normally be indicated on the DVD packaging.
