Important Safeguards

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future reference. Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance, or the one described in the operating instructions and adhere to them.

Use

Power sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions below:

For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug:

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 have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug:

This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set 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 set.

Cleaning

Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.

Installation

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

S3125A

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for necessary ven tila tion. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protec t it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

• Never cov er the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

• Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

,continued

• Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Antennas Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits. WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL. Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection aga inst voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National E lectrical Code provides information with respect to proper groun ding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding o f the lead-in wire to an antenn a disc ha rge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenn a-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, a nd requirements for the grounding electrode.

This automatically detects the software type, and selects the approp r i ate conversion met hod. Note that the picture will not be clea r or no pictu re will a ppear if yo u select these se ttings whe n either of the above conditions is not met.

◆PROGRESSIVE VIDEO

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video-based software. Video-base d software is derived from TV , such as dramas and sit-co m s, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per se cond. Film-based s oftware is derive d from film and displa ys images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for thes e images to appear natural on your screen when out put in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Notes

• Whe n you pl ay vi de o- ba se d sof twar e in prog ressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from the S VI DEO OUT an d LINE OUT (VI DEO) j acks ar e un affect ed as they are outp ut in the normal (interlace) fo rm a t.

• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture may appear to flicker each tim e the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).
