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 IV 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.

Toassure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain
a spacing of 4 inches from the top and sides of the IV
receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the IV receiver
and other surfaces.

• DVl (Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uneompressed, digital video interface developed
for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics
needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVl, when
combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a
protected digital connection. The signal speed of the DVl connection is 1080i for HDIV at a
rate of 1.78 Gigabits per second.
Dolby _ Virtual
Available only for stereo signals. Creates a virtualized surround sound experience from two
speakers using the Dolby Pro Logic decoding. It provides the sensation of being surrounded by
additional speakers.

CoHnections Setup
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 1Vand/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sureall antennas and cables areproperly 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 IV instead of straight
down the middle of the IV.
• If your antenna uses 3OO-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 sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen.Usesoft or indirect lighting.
