is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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 antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Example of antenna grounding as per National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

NEC - NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE S2898A

Lightning - For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.

Power Lines - 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.

Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

" Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (laser pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

" If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again. 2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit, and

then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

Clearing all the memory (reset)

1 Press the POWER button to enter the power stand-by mode. 2 While holding down the DISC 5 button and the STOP button, press the POWER

button for 2 seconds or more.

3 When "ALL CLEAR" appears, press the POWER button to enter the stand-by

mode.

4 Press the POWER button again to turn on the unit.

Caution:

! When you reset, all data is deleted and the settings return to the default. (DVD ini-

tial settings are retained.)

! If problem occurred, the power turns off and the timer set indicator will blinking.

References

- Maintenance / Optional accessories / Specifications -

" Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

! Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gas-

oline, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.

! Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit.

It may cause malfunctions.

" Cleaning the laser pickup lens

In order to ensure proper operation of the DVD player, preventative maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Contact your local DVD software dealer for options.

Notes:

! Close the disc compartment when it is not used. ! Be careful not to damage the optical pickup or to touch it by hand.

" Care of discs

Discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due t o an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your disc collection and player. ! Do not write on either side of the disc, particular ly the non-label side from which

signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

! Keep your discs awa y from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. ! Always hold the discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the discs can

cause noise or mistracking. If a disc is dir ty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
