causing serious injury and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the equipment. Any mounting of
the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9 Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the equipment and to protect it from overheating. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Equipment should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register, or in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided.
10 Power sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power sources indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your local power
company. For equipment intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
11 Ground or polarization
This equipment 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 plug.
This equipment may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. This pin will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type 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 appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13 Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded 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
regard 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.
14 Lightning
For added protection for this equipment 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 video product 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 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 may be
fatal.
16 Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical
shock.
17 Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into this equipment through openings, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
18 Servicing
Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards, refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19 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 part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20 Safety check
Upon completion of any service to this video product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper operational condition.

• Connect the audio
• Connect the antenna and power cord
Before you connect your HDT101, please review the following:
• Disconnect power from the HDT101 before connecting or changing
cable connections.
• Do not place anything on top of the HDT101, especially other
home entertainment components.
If you wish to connect your HDT101 to your VCR or home theater
receiver, see the additional connection diagrams at the back of this
manual.

Connecting Video
Before connecting your TV to the HDT101, you must determine which
type of video connection is accepted by your TV. The HDT101 offers
three different video options:
• Component video (YPbPr)
• S-Video
• Composite video
High-definition video can only be viewed with component video
connections.
To determine whether your TV features component video, S-Video or
composite video, check the manual supplied with your TV to determine
the best connection available.

Connecting Component Video (YPbPr)
Component video provides the highest level of picture quality. If your
television has component video inputs (Y, Pb, and Pr connectors),
connect to the component video connections on your HDT101 instead of
the Video or S-Video connections.
