F. The appliance exhibits a marked change in performance.

16.Servicing – The user should not attempt to service

the appliance beyond that described in the instruction manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

17.Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outside antenna is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code 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. See Figure.

18.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 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.

19.AC outlets – Do not connect other audio equipment with a power consumption larger than that specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never connect other electrical appliances, such as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric shock.

Preparations

Examples of TV screen display of each video format

When your TV is switchable between PAL/ NTSC

Try play a disc. If the picture is black and white or as shown on the right, stop playback and switch the screen display formats of this unit and the TV to another format. This will improve the played picture quality.

When your TV is compatible only with the PAL format

With certain discs, the playback picture may have black spaces above and below it (as shown on the right). This is because the disc has been recorded in the NTSC format. The screen may be somewhat hard to see but this is not malfunction.

When your TV is compatible only with the NTSC format

With certain discs, the playback picture may be cut above and below it (as shown on the right). This is because the disc has been recorded in the PAL format. The screen may be somewhat hard to see but this is not malfunction.
