EXCEPTION: An apparatus that is meant for uninterrupted service and,

that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an
authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged
by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference
to unplugging the apparatus in the cleaning description otherwise
required in item 5.

6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the

apparatus manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this apparatus 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.

8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this apparatus on an unstable

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The apparatus may fall,
causing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to
the apparatus. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. Any mounting of the apparatus should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. An apparatus and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the apparatus and cart combination to overturn.

AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé que sur un meuble (avec

ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’installez sur
un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux ensembles avec précaution.
Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive et des surfaces
irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

9. VENTIL ATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the apparatus and
to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the apparatus on a bed, sofa,
carpet, rug, or other similar surface. This apparatus should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register. This apparatus should not be placed in a built­in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES - This apparatus should be operated only from the

type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your apparatus dealer
or local power company. For the apparatus’s intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This apparatus 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. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized 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
apparatus.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the apparatus, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage

2EN2EN

surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead­in 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. (Fig. A)

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

NEC – NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this apparatus receiver 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 apparatus due to lightning
and power-line surges.

15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of 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.

16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as

this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into this

apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the apparatus.

18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this apparatus 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 apparatus 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 or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the apparatus.
c. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the apparatus does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation.
e. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in performance, this

indicates a need for service.

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the
display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital
content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication
of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device
(or AV amplifier) for more information.

Note

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate
properly with this unit.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however,
this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit
length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In
connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI­DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur.
Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Note

• It may take up to 5 to 7 seconds to switch the digital
TV channels.

• In digital TV broadcasting, 2 or more channels, called
minor channels, are simultaneously broadcast on one
main channel, called major channel.

About digital TV broadcasting:

With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.

What is the minor channel?

By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.

Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
single network.

displayed on the TV screen.

• You cannot record copy-protected program using
this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD­video or some satellite broadcasts.)

which is set first will have the priority.

The Priority of Overlapped Settings

• Timer program which has the earlier start time will be placed first in the timer program list, and be given priority over
the programs with the later start time when timer programs overlap.

• When timer programs overlap, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the later recording will be cut off.

• When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.

• A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the middle.
