Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your
player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation
slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on modules or other equipment which may
become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the
Home Theater to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the
power supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat
(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields
(i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the
player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in cold
temperatures.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours
until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

Phones

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the
wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

The batteries used with this product contain chemicals

that are harmful to the environment.

Do not dispose of batteries in the general household

trash.

CLEANING

Unplug this video product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

LIGHTNING

For added protection of this video product
receiver during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the video product
due to lightning and power-line surges.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Never push objects of any kind into this
product 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 video
product.

ACCESSORIES

Do not place this video product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The video product 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 video product. 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.

POWER SOURCES

This video product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
For video products intended to be operated from bat­tery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.

POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade 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.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

•

If an outside antenna is connected to the

antenna terminal, 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.A section 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
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 the figure below.
