IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ INSTRUCTIONS – All the safety and

operating instructions should be read before
the appliance is operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS – The safety and

operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS – All warnings on the

appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS – All operating and

usage instructions should be followed.

CLEANING – Do not use liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleaners. Use a polishing cloth or
soft dry cloth.

ATTACHMENTS – Do not use attachments not

recommended by appliance manufacturer
as they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE – Do not use this

appliance near water – for example, near a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.

ACCESSORIES – Do not place this appliance on

an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The appliance may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage
to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow
the manufacturer's instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.

CART – 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.

VENTILATION – Slots and openings in the

cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure
reliable operation of the appliance and to
protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. They should
never be blocked by placing the appliance
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This appliance should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register. This
appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been
adhered to.

POWER SOURCES – The appliance should be

operated only on the voltage indicated on
the product label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power
company.

POLARIZATION – This unit's power cord has a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

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. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING – If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the video product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
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
conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.

LIGHTNING – For added protection for the unit

during a lightning storm, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the cable system
input. This will prevent damage due to
lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING – Do not overload wall outlets

and extension cords as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY – Never push objects

of any kind into this appliance through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the appliance.

SERVICING – Do not attempt to service this

appliance yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to your cable company.

REPLACEMENT PARTS – When replacement

parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK – Upon completion of any

service or repairs to this appliance, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the appliance is in proper
operating condition.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE – Unplug this

appliance from the wall outlet and call your
cable company under the following
conditions:

÷ When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

÷ If liquid has been spilled, or objects have

fallen into the appliance.

÷ If the appliance has been exposed to rain or

water.

÷ If the appliance does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore
the appliance to its normal operation.

÷ If the appliance has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

÷ When the appliance exhibits a distinct

change in performance – this indicates a
need for service.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Cable TV brings a wide array of home
entertainment to the cable viewer. To enjoy that
programming, your television must first be set up
to receive the cable signal.

FOCUS OF THIS MANUAL

Much of how your BD-V1000 Voyager Home
Terminal operates is determined by your cable TV
service provider. Those operating instructions
may be found in a separate manual. The purpose
of this guide is to assist you with connecting the
Voyager Home Terminal to a TV and/or VCR and
learning about its front- and rear-panel items.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NO TV PICTURE?

Use the checklist in the table if you followed all the
instructions but still do not see a picture on your
television.

STEP

ACTION

Is cable service connected to
BD-V1000 CABLE IN
connector?

Is a cable connected between
BD-V1000 TO TV connector
and TV input connector; or
between BD-V1000 VIDEO and
L/R AUDIO output connectors
and TV VIDEO and L/R AUDIO
input connectors?

Is the BD-V1000 AC cord
plugged in to an unswitched
AC outlet?

Are both BD-V1000 and TV
turned on?

Is your TV tuned to the correct
channel (3 or 4), or set to
display the A/V (audio/video)
input? If no picture on one
channel, try the other.

Has there been a recent
lightning storm? If so, reset
your BD-V1000. (See the
“Lightning Protection Circuit”
section.)

CHECK

LIGHTNING PROTECTION CIRCUIT

The BD-V1000 features a lightning protection
circuit. During a lightning storm, this circuit may
activate to protect the rest of the circuit from
damage. If this occurs, the terminal will appear to
not work at all. To restore operation, simply unplug
the unit’s AC power cord for at least one minute,
and plug it in again.
