blade wider than the other), it will fit into the 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.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system

is grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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 this product

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wail outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line

surges.

POWER LINES- An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead

power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep

from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

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

the product.

SERVICING -- Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE -- Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following

conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

LISI'ENING

For A Lifahne_

g)ea¢

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the

unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This

manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group

want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One

that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-

and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your

hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal"

can actually be loud and harmful to your

hearing. Guard against this by setting your

equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable

sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to

prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment

will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment.

Since hearing damage from loud noise is

often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries

Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to

excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom

away from traffic

50 Light traffic, normal conversation,

quiet office

60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing

machine

70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy

restaurant

80 Average city traffic, garbage

disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT

EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic,

lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic

drill

120 Rock band concert in front of

speakers, thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you

need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. There are both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is

convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the

stereo analog connection. You'll probably also want to connect a video

output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player

(the illustration shows a standard (compos- ite) connection).

1 Connect one of DIGITAL OUT jacks on

this player to a digital input on your AV

receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jack to a

coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT 1L/R or 2L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver.

AV receiver

This enables you to listen to multichannel

surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack to an optical input on your

AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use

the S-Video or component video connections

if they're available.

3 Connect the AV receiver's video output to a video input on your TV.

O Tip

• You usually have to connect the same kind of video cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between

your AV receiver and TV.

Connecting Up

My TV doesn't have any inputs to connect the DVD player How can I watch DVDs?

Unfortunately, if your-iV has no inputs you can't use this player with it.

My VCR is already connected to my _ so there aren't any spare inputs. What should I do?

If all your TV's inputs are already in use,

you can buy a video input selector from

an electronics store, which effectively gives you more inputs.

My TVonly has one input for the sound.

What should I plug it into?

If you don't mind mono sound, you can buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable

from an electronics store. Connect the stereo end to this player and the mono

end to your TV.

If you want stereo sound, connect this player to your amplifier or stereo system

using a stere() audio cable.

I connected the DVD player to my AV receiver, and although the sound is fine, there's no picture. What did I do wrong?

Make sure that the type of video connection from the DVD player to your

AV receiver is the same as that from the receiver to your T_. Most AV receivers

won't convert from one kind of connec-

tion to another.
