The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
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.
13 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 product.
14 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.
15 Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated 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, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles 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 product 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
product.
18 Servicing — Do not attempt to service this 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 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
product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d)
If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an im-
proper adjustment of other controls may result in dam-
age and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance - 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 characteristics 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 product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating
condition.
22 Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The unit should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Component video connections achieve
higher fidelity color reproduction (than Svideo connections) by separating video
signals into luminance (Y: color-coded
green) and color difference (P
red). Use commercially available coaxial
cables. A receiver (or TV) with component
input is required. Observe the color of
each jack when connecting. If your
receiver does not have component output
jacks, you can achieve a better video image
by connecting this player’s component
output directly to your TV’s component

Video Connections
If your AV receiver has video output jacks,
connect your receiver (and then your TV)
so that you can use one TV for several
different video sources (LD, VCR etc.) by
simply switching the input source selector
on your receiver.
This player has three types of video output
jacks. Use the one that corresponds to the
input jacks on the component to be
connected.
