CAUTION – Polarization – This appliance may

3.

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 plug.

4. 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. The appliance

interfere with its proper ventilation.
To maintain good ventilation, do not put records or a table­cloth on the appliance. Place the appliance at least 10 cm
away from the walls.
Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings. This
appliance 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.

6. Temperature – The appliance may not function
properly if used at extremely low, or freezing
temperatures. The ideal ambient temperature is
above +5°C (41°F).

7. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce

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

by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

22. Replacement parts – When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

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

Notes

1.Longer tape than 90 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 90 minutes cassette tape is
very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or
be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not
be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

Apply tape only to the position
where the tab has been removed.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct
sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cas­sette tapes away from any magnetic field.
