IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
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 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 only 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 are fire hazards.
-Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
4DO 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.
5AVOID 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 locations [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 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.
6TO 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.
• Carefully follow all operating instructions.
6
USING THE UNIT
Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location, refer again to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1KEEP UNIT WELL AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE,
such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.
2IF EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR STRONG IMPACT,
unplug unit and have it inspected by a qualified 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.
4WHEN 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 fire and shock hazards.
•Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or fire hazard. Do not put any foreign object on the tray.
•Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to avoid electrical interference.
5USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer 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.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1SAFE 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. Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code, in U.S.A.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code. ANSI/NFPA 70 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.
2KEEP 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.

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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
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” in the Settings for DVD Operation “Selecting AUDIO OUTPUT” (see pages 64-65). 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.
•Be sure to refer to pages 64-65 regarding output settings of Dolby Digital, dts, and PCM.
•CDs can be played as usual.
Note
•Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with the unit.
