4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance 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.
6. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned with a dry cloth or only as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other such surface. Newspapers, table clothes, curtains, and other items can inadvertently block ventilation slots. Do not place the unit near curtains that could obstruct the ventila­tion. If you install the appliance in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the appliance should be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.
8. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appli­ances (including amplifier) that produce heat.
9. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be 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 or grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. 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.
11. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance 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 appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
12. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care to avoid injury from tip-over. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
13. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance 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 appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt­age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance 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 liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance 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 appliance to its normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance – this indicates a need for service.
15. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch danger­ous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. The appliance should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on the appliance. Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.

Before Using the DPC-7.4
Installing the Remote Controller’s Batteries
Open the battery compartment, as shown.
1
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6) in
2
accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment.
3
Notes:
• The supplied batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing both batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of bat­teries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to pre­vent possible leakage and corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DPC-7.4’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-
7.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-7.4.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DPC-7.4 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote control­ler, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-
7.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-7.4.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the DPC-7.4’s remote control sensor.
