• 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

the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician

for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

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.

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.

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 anten-

na discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the appara-

tus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the

cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

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.comply with recommended international global safety

standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.

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 dispos-

al or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or

the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that

may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

• 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.

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serv-

iced by qualified service personnel when:

Example of Antenna Grounding

The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-

ance; or

The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance; or

The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

USING THE CVI (COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT) JACKS

omponent Video inputs provide for

Cthe highest possible color and picture

resolution in the playback of digital signal

source material, such as with DVD play-

ers. The color difference signals (Pb, Pr)

and the luminance signal (Y) connected

and received separately, which allows for

improved color bandwidth information

(not possible when using composite video

or S-Video connections).

The CVI connection will be dominate over the AV1 in Video

Input. When a Component Video Device is connected as

described, it is best not to have a video signal connected to

the AV1 in Video Input jack.
