5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with a clean 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 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 a 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) Ifan 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 requirements for
the grounding electrode.

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
4
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

Notes when mounting the LCD TV/DVD on a wall
When installing the unit on a wall, allow at least 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) clearance between the rear of the LCD
TV/DVD and the wall. Clearance of less than 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) will obstruct the vents and may cause the
interior of the unit to overheat, resulting in damage to the unit.
If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the retailer where you purchased the LCD TV/DVD for advice,
and have the equipment professionally installed. Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury to you, and/or damage to the LCD TV/DVD.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:
Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station Iogos, and websites.
Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim
any responsibility for these symptoms.
LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
This is not a sign of a malfunction.
Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves. Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
Effect on infrared devices -There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

Cable TV connections
This TV/DVD 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
Antenna
75 ohms coaxial cable
For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/ Descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly
to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV/DVD.
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/DVD. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV/DVD 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/DVD. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV/DVD to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and
