For Your
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 titled 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 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
if liquid has been spilled into the unit. Immediately unplug the
unit, and have it inspected by a service technician. Fire and
shock hazards can result from electrical shorts caused by
liquid contact inside.
• Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit.
Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can
cause electric shock or fire hazard.
Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray.
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set as
this may cause electrical interference. Keep all magnets away
from electronic equipment.
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.
1 DO NOT SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF
If, after carefully following the detailed operating instructions,
this product does not operate properly, do not attempt to open
or remove covers, or make any adjustments not described in
the manual. Unplug the unit and contact a qualified service
technician.
2 IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified
by the manufacturer, or those having the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. The use of unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
HAVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK
3
After any service or repairs to the unit, request the service
technician to conduct a thorough safety check as described
in the manufacture’s service literature to ensure that the unit is
in safe operating condition.

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 nonabrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.

Linear PCM
For Y our 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 inCDs. 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.
