SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

m
s

(Q^

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety
standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which
you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be
read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or swimming
pool, or in a wet basement.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall
or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation -The appliance should be situated so that its location or position
does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation
openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)

that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
appliance.

11. Grounding or Polarization -

Precautions should be taken so that the
grounding or polarization means of an
appliance is not defeated.

AC

'Polarized Plug

Caution; To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of this plug to
the wide slot and fully insert. Do not use this (polarized) plug with an

extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully

inserted to prevent blade exposure.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that

they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power

lines.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the

receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the Nationai Electrical Code. ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1934,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Rgure below.

16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged

from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall

and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

18. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by

qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

19. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond

that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be

referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the CATV system installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper ground

ing and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point
of cable entry as practical.

Safety Information

» Before operating the system, check that the operating

voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication

beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with

the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult
your dealer. The type plate is located at the rear of your
system.

• When the system is switched on, do not move it around.

• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).
» Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent internal heat build-up in your system.

» Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand

or heat sources.

» Under no circumstances should you repair the unit yourself,

as this will invalidate the warrantyl

» If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm

location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on thé lens of the CD unit inside the system.
Should this occur, the CD player will not operate normally.
Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the
unit until normal playback is possible.

• Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected problems.
See whether these problems disappear if you unplug the AC
power cord and plug it in again after a few seconds.
