bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

7 ACCESSORIES

Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious
damage to the unit. Use this
unit only with a cart, stand ,

manufacturer.

12 LIGHTNING

7A

A unit and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.

Slots and openings in the case are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the unit
and to protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. These openings
must not be blocked by placing the unit on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
radiator. This unit should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.

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

We have fitted this unit with a standard mains plug.

• If the mains lead gets damaged it must be replaced
by a qualified service agent with an approved lead
of the same type.

• If the plug is cut off, remove the fuse from the plug
and get rid of it safely, as if you put it into a supply
socket it would be dangerous.

• If you change the plug because the standard plug
is damaged or unsuitable, please destroy the old
plug as it would be dangerous if plugged into a
live power outlet. Follow the wiring instructions
supplied with the new plug.

You must make sure the mains lead cannot be
walked on, crushed, chafed, cut, and so on.

For added protection for this unit during a lightning
storm, or when the unit 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 unit due to
lightning and power line surges.

the output audio channel configuration. For example, with just one stereo speaker system you can
hear full 5.1 channel audio.

RGB This stands for red, green and blue. It means the video signal separated into its three primary

colour components ready to drive the picture tube almost directly. Two signalling connections are
needed to make the television accept the synchronisation and RGB signals. All this is in the
SCART connector. Not all televisions have RGB inputs.
