Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive
pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately
overturn the product.
Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic
equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsus-
pectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage
and/or personal injury.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
●
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70- 1984,
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 connectors, location of antenna-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus
should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may result
in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and third
grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong
are provided for your safety. When the provided
AC Polarized
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an elec-
trician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Plug
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart
is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combi-
nation to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
●
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these materi-
als may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For dis-
posal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or
the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org
Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on the
unit.
●
Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
●
23. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
24. 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.
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
25. 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.
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended inter-
national global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its
cabinet design.
26. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this prod-
uct, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the

•
With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a station with no
broadcasting. Press a button on remote
control toward the radio. Sound will be
fluttering when you press any key and the
radio receives the signal. This means the
remote control is working.
•
With a digital camera (including built-in camera of
cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control,
press and hold a button on remote control. If
infrared light appears through digital camera,
the remote control is working.
Cleaning the cabinet
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene or alcohol to
clean the unit. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the
unit. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or
damage the unit.

Cleaning the disc lens
• If this unit still does not perform properly although you
refer to the relevant sections and to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in this user manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or
an Authorized Service Center for inspection and
cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD
discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM
recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for
higher video resolution or extended recording time on
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording
will play back on all DVD-video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with
actual recordable DVD discs.
Disc handling
• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not
adhere to the surfaces of the discs.
• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is
not used.
