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 and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician to replace the obsolete receptacle.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plug, and the point where it exits
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
oftime.
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
damage, 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.
15) Apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
should not be placed on the apparatus.
16) 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.
17) Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18) Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
19) If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded 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

connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure
that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In
such cases, change the location of the player.
HOWTO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause
skin inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your
eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The unit emits heat when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit, this may cause

Cable TV connections
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
Converter box, Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" where the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is
generally provided by the Cable TV company.
For subscribers to basic Cable TV service

For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect
the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the
connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel
3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available
from the Cable TV company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the
switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the
"A" position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the
