SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Home Theater-Audio/Video Products

• Read all safety and operating instructions before you operate this product.

• Observe all warnings and instructions marked on your product and its operating instructions.

• Keep this Owner's Manual Addendum for future reference.

This product has been designed and engineered to ensure your personal safety. However, improper use of this product could produce electric shock or fire hazards. To avoid defeating the product's built-in safeguards, observe the following basic rules for installation and operation.

INSTALLATION

1. Polarization or Grounding

(a) Your product may be fitted with a polarizing alternating-current line

plug (one blade wider than the other). For safety reasons, this plug will fit the power outlet in one way only. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature of the polarized plug.

(b) Your product may be fitted with a three-wire grounding plug (two

blades plus grounding pin). For safety reasons, this plug will only fit a grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature of the three-wire grounding plug.

2. Power Sources

Operate your product only with the type of power source listed on the marking label. If you are unsure about the type of power supplied to your home, contact your product dealer or the local power company. If your product is designed to use battery power or other power sources, refer to the operating instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles, as this could produce an electric shock or fire hazard.

4. Power Cord Protection

Power cords should be routed through areas where they are unlikely to be stepped on or pinched by items placed on or against them, particularly near plugs, receptacles and the point at which they exit from the product.

5. Ventilation

The cabinet of your product has slots and openings to facilitate proper ventilation. To ensure proper operation and to prevent overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

• Do not block openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or

similar surface.

• Do not install the product in a bookcase, rack or similar location

unless proper ventilation is provided and all manufacturer's instructions have been followed.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

This product should be mounted on a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If this product is to be connected to an outdoor antenna or cable system, the antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to provide some protection against power surges and built-up static charges. See Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, for information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, the proper size for grounding connectors, location of the antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

To protect this product during lightning storms or when it is to be left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage due to lightning strikes or power surges.

3. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should never be located near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor in an area where they could fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, use extreme care to avoid touching power lines or circuits. Such contact could be fatal.
