Important Safeguards and Pre cau tions

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 ﬁ rmly and make sure your hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC

power cord. Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. from the plug. POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION: The plug ﬁ ts into outlet only one way. If it cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not ﬁ t, 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, ﬁ re or personal injury:

- Keep power cord away from heating appliances and walking trafﬁ c. 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 ﬁ re hazards.

- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or

cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should

be replaced by a qualiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ re 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 ve hi cles, in high temperature [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 dam age. Never sub ject unit to vibration, im pact, or place it so that the sur face is tilted as in ter nal parts may be se ri ous ly dam aged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Never place unit on support or

stand that is not ﬁ rm, 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.

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.

USING THE UNIT

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 qualiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ re and shock hazards.

• Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or ﬁ re 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 ﬁ re, 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 ﬂ uids,

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.

Disc Handling

Handling precautions

• Sticking a label on the disc may impair DVD-R playback.

• Do not attach sticker to discs. (Do not use discs with exposed adhesive from tape or left over peeled-off stickers.)

• Only hold disc by edges as shown below. Fin ger prints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and distortion.

• Do not write on label side of disc.

• Never use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids, or any other solvent.

• Do not try to close disc tray when disc is not properly placed.

To clean disc surface

With a soft, damp (water only) cloth, gently wipe from the center hole to the outer edge as shown below. (Wiping in a circular pattern will scratch the surface.)

• DVD-RAM, DVD-R :

Clean only with the DVD-RAM disc cleaner available.

Never use cloths or cleaners for CDs etc.

If disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc

Wipe away moisture with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using disc. (See above.)

Improper disc storage

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:

• When connecting an ampliﬁ er (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 page 67). 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 dts decoder is connected, please select “Bitstream” at “dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “AUDIO OUTPUT.” If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See page 67).

• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.

Note

• Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with the unit.

Initial Setup

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 efﬁ ciently 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 beneﬁ t 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.
