Important Safeguards and Precautions
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT
INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from a power source indicated on the
unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your
Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products
Dealer verify the power source in your home.
2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As a safety feature, this product comes with either
a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider
than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot
fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit,
have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not
defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding
outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the
proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by
tampering with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so that they
are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll
over them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also
has either a polarized or grounded plug and that
the cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If they are blocked,
heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures that
may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
cassettes or discs.
For protection, follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in
use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case
or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5 PLACEMENT: AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS
OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near heater or
radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles,
in high temperature [over 104°F (40°C)], or in over
75% humidity. If the unit is suddenly moved from
a cold place to a warm one, moisture may
condense in the unit and on the tape causing
damage. Never subject the unit to vibration,
impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as
internal parts may be seriously damaged.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping
surface.
• Do not place this unit on any support that is not
firm, level, and adequately strong.
The unit could fall causing serious
injury to a child or adult and
damage to the unit.
• An appliance and cart
combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
• Carefully follow all operating instructions and
use the manufacturer's recommended
accessories when operating this unit or
connecting it to any other equipment.
2
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against built up static
charges and voltage surges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada,
part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) 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.
2
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from
power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never
come into contact with these power sources if it should happen
to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should
be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power
sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved,
antenna installation should be left to a professional.
If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location,
refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1
KEEP THE UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.
2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by a
qualified service technician before use.
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM
During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or
before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time,
disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as
the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE
• Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit.
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to
avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING THE UNIT
Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated
cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning
fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep
into the unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance such
as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface.
Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely
affect internal parts.

Built-in Head Cleaner
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your DECK with a built-in,
non-chemical head cleaning system that helps
prevent clogging of the video heads.
Cleaning is performed each time you load or unload
a video cassette.
• This feature is preventative only, If your video heads
are seriously clogged, consider the use of a chemical
non-abrasive head cleaning kit or take your DECK to
a Servicenter.

Cleaning DECK
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum
cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes on
the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic
surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred
by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive
use of oil-based furniture polishes since the
materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more
dust. We recommend using a non-abrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.

For your reference:
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel)
sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,
DVDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit ~ 192 kHz/24 bit.

■ Connecting Amplifier (5.1 ch Surround system)
Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple
channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier and speakers.
There are two types of connection, digital and analog.
A. Digital connection (DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector)
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital bitstream or DTS
bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector. When DECK
is connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality
audio in your home. [An optical digital audio cable (optional) is required when an optional
Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used.]
B. Analog connection (5.1 ch Analog Audio Output Connector)
Connect an amplifier with multi-channel audio input terminals. This DECK can decode
Dolby Digital and DTS. There are no limitations on sampling frequency with this kind of
connection.
(Connection)
Initial Setup
Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does not
contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital”
and “PCM” at “dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output” (see p. 54).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may
be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• When a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder is connected, please select “Bitstream” at “dts” or
“Dolby Digital” of the Settings for DVD Operation “A udio Output”.If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 54.)
• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
Note:
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with
DECK.
