Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC 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.

Power Cord Protection—AC 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. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the

power off. When left unused for a long time, the unit should be

unplugged from the household AC outlet.

• Do not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

• Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

• Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables.

• See page 33 for information about how to upgrade your system with other audio/visual equipment.

• Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless othenwise indicated.

•TV volume may be lower when playing DVDs than during television broadcasts. Turn the volume up while playing DVDs and reduce it to the previous level before switching the source back to television to avoid sudden changes in volume.

• When you have finished connection, select the appropriate screen type at the initial setting “6 TV Aspect” according to your television (4:3/16:9)

page 10). No changes are needed if you connect the unit to a conventional television (4:3).

• If the unit is connected to a switched outlet on an AV amplifier and the amplifier is turned off, the unit is effectively disconnected from the AC power supply. We recommend that you connect the unit directly to an household AC outlet.

Connect Your Unit Directly To Your

Television.

If the unit is connected to the television through a video cassette recorder, the picture may not be played correctly due to the

copy guard. So we strongly recommend you do not connect the

unit to your video cassette recorder when setting up your home entertainment system.

• Connect to the television section if you connect the unit to a combined television-video player.

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

S video output terminal The S (separate) video output terminal achieves a clearer picture than the video output terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the television. (Actual results depend on the television.)
