IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRE CAU TIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO
THIS PRODUCT, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE PRODUCT.
INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from power source indicated on unit or in this manual. If uncertain, have
your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify your home
power source.
2 POWER CORD PLUG
For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one wide blade), or a three-wire
grounding type plug. Always hold the plug firmly and make sure your hands are dry
when plugging in or unplugging the AC power cord. Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc.
on the plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
The plug fits into outlet only one way. If it cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it
still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not tamper with the
plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician
install the proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against electrical shock, fire or personal
injury:
• Keep power cord away from heating appliances and walking traffic. Do not rest
heavy objects on, or roll such objects over the power cord.
• Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
• An extension cord should have the same type plug (polarized or grounding) and
must be securely connected.
• Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are fire hazards.
• Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are
hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. If
blocked, heat build-up may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes or
discs.
For your protection:
a. Never cover ventilation slots while unit is ON, or operate unit while placed on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or rack, unless properly ventilated.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place unit over or near a heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed
vehicles, in high temperature locations [over 95 °F (35 °C)], or in over 75 % humidity.
If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one, moisture may con dense in
unit and on the tape causing damage. Never subject unit to vibration, impact, or place
it so that the surface is tilted as internal parts may be seriously dam aged.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Never place unit on support or stand 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.
• Move any appliance and cart combination with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause objects
to overturn.
• Carefully follow all operating instructions.
USING THE UNIT
SERVICE
Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location, refer again to the
INSTALLATION section of these safe guards.
1 KEEP UNIT WELL AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE,
such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.
2 IF EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR STRONG IMPACT,
unplug unit and have it inspected by a qualified service technician before use.
3 ELECTRICAL STORMS
During a lightning storm, or before leaving unit unused for extended periods of
time, disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as the antenna
and cable system.
4 WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• DO NOT OPERATE IF:
- liquid has spilled into unit.
- unit was dropped or otherwise damaged.
- unit emits smoke, odours, or noises. Immediately unplug unit, and have it
inspected by a service technician to avoid potential fire and shock hazards.
• Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. Touching internal
parts may cause electric shock or fire hazard. Do not put any foreign object on
the tray.
• Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to avoid electrical
interference.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of fire,
shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING UNIT
Unplug unit. Use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to gently remove dust
or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could overspray, or seep into 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.
1 DO NOT SERVICE PRODUCT YOURSELF
If, after carefully following detailed operating in struc tions, the unit does not operate
properly, do not attempt to open or remove covers, or make any adjustments not
described in the manual. Unplug unit and contact a qualified service tech ni cian.
2 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified by the manufacturer,
or that have equal safety char ac ter is tics as original parts. The use of unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
3 SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING
After unit is serviced or repaired, request that a thorough safety check be done as
described in the manufacturer’s service literature to ensure video unit is in safe
operating condition.
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to provide
some protection against built up static charges and voltage. Part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, in U.S.A. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code. ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information regarding 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
Locate an outside antenna system well away
from power lines and electric light or power
circuits so it will never touch these power
sources should it ever fall. When installing
antenna, absolutely never touch power lines,
circuits or other power sources as this could
be fatal.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• Be sure to refer to page 50 regarding output settings of Dolby Digital,
DTS, and PCM.
• CDs and Video CDs can be played as usual.
• Audio from the Digital Audio Out terminal is only output during playback.
• When connecting an amplifier which contains the Dolby Digital or DTS
decoder, be sure to select “Bitstream”. When connecting an amplifier
which does not contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to
select “PCM”. (See page 50.) Otherwise, attempting to play a DVD may
cause such a high level of noise that it may harm your hearing and
damage your speakers.
Notes:
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS Interface may not
work properly with the unit.
• Avoid bending/twisting the optical digital cable when connecting.
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 48 kHz/16 bit up to
96 kHz/24 bit.
• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the
full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full
5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the
Dolby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby
Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
