• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
• Install the unit ill a location that is level and prolected from
moisture.
• The temperature around the unit must be between 5°C and 35_'C
(23°F and 95°F).
• Make sure there is good ventilalion around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overhea/ing and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
• DO NOT touch the power coM with wet hands.
DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. 'lhe power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound
ac/justments may be erased in a few days.
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.
I On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2 Insert batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).

the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

• If video components have S=video (Y/C=separation) and/or
component vide() (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) terminals, connect them using _"
an S-video cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order -- Component vide() > S-video > Composite

IMPORTANT:
This unit is equipped with the following video terminals ; composite
video, S-video and component video terminals. You can use any of
these three to connect a video component.
However, remember that the video signals from one type of these
input terminals are output only through the video output
terminals of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the unit through the different types of
video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing
component onto the recording component. In addition, ifthe TV and a
playing video component are connected to the unit through the
different types of video terminals, you cannot view the playback
picture from the playing component on the TV.
