5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

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 grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If 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 the 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 the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

If an outside antenna is connected to the W receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code and in Canada, Part

1 of the Canadian Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the antenna system. See the figure on the right for details.

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the IV and!or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cablesare properly grounded. Referto the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Don't stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't flow around
other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the 1V instead of straight
down the middle of the IV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from
audio/video cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your IV carefully. Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to

prevent the IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and!or

damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.

Use Indirect Light
Don't place the IV where sunlightor room lightingwill he directed toward the screen. Usesoft or indirect lighting.
