Important Safeguards and Precautions
A WARNING
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 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 mowd
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.
] [
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If an outeide 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/NFPA70
(in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) provides information with respect to
profi^r 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 tor 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 outeide
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,
It the unit has teen in storage or moved to a new location, refer first to the

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.

■ Connecting Amplifier (5.1 ch Surround system) [Digital connection] DECK^ Dolby Digital Decoder^Amplifieri^Speaker
or
DECK^DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Decoder ^Amplifier4-Speaker
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.)
(optional)
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. 53).
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 “Audio Output”.
If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 53.)
• CDs can be played as usual.
Note:
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properiy with
DECK.
