8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong.The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety.When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury

from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. This product may contain lead or mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be

The menu system

Pipes, balls and a puck

The hierarchy of menus and controls is represented by an animated visual mechanism of pipes, balls and a puck. Unlike a map, however, the animated mechanism constantly shows the current whereabouts, continually expands the view of the immediate neighborhood, and preserves a view of places left behind.

The puck represents the users’ point of focus, by surrounding the ball indicating the user’s current position in the menu hierarchy. The puck is always present when the menu system is displayed. The puck is divided into 4 wedge-shaped regions.They correspond to the directional controls (up/down, left/right) on the remote control. In this way users can navigate through the menu hierarchy to arrive at the control they wish to adjust.

Pressing a valid button on the remote control shifts focus from the current ball to the next one connected by a pipe in that direction. Balls represent a branch of the menu hierarchy. All menu items are represented by balls. Each ball is identified with an identifying text label. When items (balls) of a menu level are more numerous than can fit comfortably on the TV display, only a portion of the items are shown as balls along the pipe.Those omitted are indicated by a cluster of balls which indicates that there are ‘more’.

Pipes connect balls together and show the path the user can traverse through the menu structure. Pipes represent individual branches of the menu hierarchy.

Preparation

Interaction bars

Every pathway in the menu structure leads eventually to a bar, where users can set levels, change values or adjust some aspect of system performance.

Moving the puck up or down with the up/down button causes the list to move down or up. A single-value list allows only one item to be selected at one time and deselects another. In a multi-value list any number of items can be selected, even allowing more to be selected.They are represented by a checkmark in the box next to the label. E.g.TV Ratings lock.
