1 POWER SOURCECAUTION

Operate only from a power source indicated on the unit or in this manual, ff necessary, have y,our

Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verity the power source in your home.

g POLARIZEDOR GROUNDING PLUG

As a safety feature, this product comes with either a polarized power cord p_ug (one blade is wider

than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

This plug wil_only f_ into an outlet one way. it youcannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit,

have a_ electrician instal_the proper wal_ OLdJebDOnot

defeat the safety feature by tampering with the p_ug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

This plug wil_ only fit into a three-hole grounding out_et. _Inecessary, have an electrician instal_ 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 _ikely to have anything rest on them, roll

over them, or be in the way of walking traftic.

If an extension cord is used, make sure it also

has either a polarized or grounded plug and that the cords can be securelvconnected.

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 DONOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventitation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. _fthey are blocked, heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures that

may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to casseftes or discs.

For protection, foitow these ru_es:

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 sudace.

b. Avoid built-in instaitation, such as a book case

or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.

B PLACEMENT:AVOtD EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS

OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside cthsed vehicles,

in high temperature [over t04°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 sud_ce is titled as internal parts may be seriously damaged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

2 KEEPANTENNACLEAROFHIGHVOLTAGEPOWERLINESORCIRCUITS

An outside antenna system should be located welt 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.

I USING THE UNIT I

If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location,

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 6.1-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.
