Important Safeguards and Precautions

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

INST ALLATION

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.

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 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 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.

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.

• 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.
