For Your Information

Important Safeguards and Precautions

READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON UNIT

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 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 is a
fire hazard.

- 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 [over ° ° ], or in over
75% humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm one, moisture may
condense 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 damaged.

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.

2

• Carefully follow all operating instructions.

95°F (35°C)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

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. Section 810
of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in
Canada, part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code)
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.

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 over-spray, 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.

Velocity Modulated Scan (PV-DF2702 only)

This advanced circuitry senses video signal transitions
from dark-to-light. The black-and-white portions of the
signal speed up and slow down as needed, giving you
sharp dark-to-light transitions and outstanding edge
definition.

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.
