THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

AMEUBLES- Cet appareil ne doit

être placé que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de désta- biliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV/DVD/VHS and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV/DVD/VHS on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV/DVD/VHS should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV/DVD/VHS 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 TV/DVD/VHS should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For TV/DVD/VHSs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11.Grounding or Polarization-This TV/DVD/VHS 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 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 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 particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

POWER SERVICE GRO UNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H)

13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV/DVD/VHS, 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 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. (Fig. A)

14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV/DVD/VHS receiver 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 TV/DVD/VHS 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 TV/DVD/VHS 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 TV/DVD/VHS.

18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/DVD/VHS 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 TV/DVD/VHS 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 or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

TV/DVD/VHS.

c. If the TV/DVD/VHS has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV/DVD/VHS does not operate normally by follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV/DVD/VHS to its normal operation.

e. If the TV/DVD/VHS has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

f. When the TV/DVD/VHS 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 that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.

21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV/DVD/VHS, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV/DVD/VHS is in proper operating condition.

22.Heat-This TV/DVD/VHS product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

If using this TV/DVD/VHS to play back a TV/DVD/VHS in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround, DTS surround, or MPEG surround format, the TV/DVD/VHS outputs a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG data stream from its COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard such as can be heard in movie theaters.

Use an audio coaxial digital cables (not included) for the audio connections.

[Fig. 8]

NOTES:

•

Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component. Refer to the Owner’s Manuals for the components to be connected to the TV/DVD/VHS. If output Dolby Digital audio, connect to a Dolby Digital decoder, and set Dolby Digital to on for audio

output in the setup mode. If output DTS audio, connect to a DTS decoder, and set DTS to ON for audio output in the setup mode. If played a disc indicated MPEG audio, connect to a MPEG decoder, and set MPEG to ON for audio output

in the setup mode. Unless connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, a DTS decoder, or a MPEG decoder, set Dolby Digital, DTS,

or MPEG to off for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a TV/DVD/VHS using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.

When Dolby Digital is set to OFF and VIRTUAL 3D to ON for audio output in the setup mode and you select the audio source in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround format, the audio will be muted.

CLOCK SET UP

(AUTO / MANUAL)

Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording. If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is available in your area, follow “AUTO CLOCK SETTING”. If it is not, follow “MANUAL CLOCK SETTING”.

AUTO CLOCK SETTING

You can have the TV/DVD/VHS set the clock automatically by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the following procedure, the TV/DVD/VHS will automatically monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a new service called Extended Data Service (XDS).

Make sure ...

TV/DVD/VHS power must be turned on.

•

Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.

•

The cable converter box must be turned on if your

•

TV/DVD/VHS is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)

The channel is properly set in advance. (See page

•

16.)

NOTES:

Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it

•

can be done again if the clock’s time has become incorrect for some reason.

If the TV/DVD/VHS is connected directly to a

•

cable converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station must be selected on the cable box itself, and the TV/DVD/VHS must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box or satellite box (usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically.

If you do not know what your local PBS station is, then follow “Manual Clock Settings” on page 18.
