IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

I. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instruc-

tions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for some specific reason, such as the pos-

sibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for

cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen

sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swim ming pool, and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this video product on _,,_,_ an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious 1[ _]_

injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, _,_

bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold

with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use

a mounting accessory 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.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provid-

ed for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the

video product and to protect it from overheating, and these

openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings

should never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product 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.

10. Power Sources - This video product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the mark-

ing label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power

company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

II. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is

equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will

fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety fea- ture. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the out-

let, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying par ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video 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 No. 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 antenna-dis- charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

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

15. 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.

16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock,

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this video product through any 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 video product.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this video product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

video product.

c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water. d, If the video product does not operate normally by follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improp-

er adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the video product to its normal operation. e, If the video product has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in per-

formance this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer or have the same character-

istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may

result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this video product, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to determine that the video product is in

proper operating condition.

22. Heat - This video product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Connect the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

FOR TVs WITH S-VIDEO INI'UT JACK

Use an S-Video cable (commercially available) in place of the yellow video cable to enjoy higher quality pictures. Note

• The S-Video connection only supplies video (picture) in the DVD mode of the DVD/VCR COMBINATION UNITS. Therefore, in order to use the VCR features or view TV channels on the DVD/VCR COMBINATION

UNITS and the TV's Antenna Injack, or connect the yellow video cable as described earlier (Fig. 1). To connect
