the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and
should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination

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 sur-
faces 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/VCR/DVD and to protect it from over-
heating, and these openings must not be blocked or cov-
ered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
TV/VCR/DVD on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This TV/VCR/DVD should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This TV/VCR/DVD 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/VCR/DVD should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on the mark-
ing 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/VCR/DVDs intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
11.Grounding or Polarization-This TV/VCR/DVD 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 fea-
ture. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the out-
let, 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 par-
ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR/DVD, 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/VCR/DVD
receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended 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/VCR/DVD 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/VCR/DVD 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/VCR/DVD.
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR/DVD
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/VCR/DVD
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/VCR/DVD.
c. If the TV/VCR/DVD has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV/VCR/DVD 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/VCR/DVD to its normal operation.
e. If the TV/VCR/DVD has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
f. When the TV/VCR/DVD 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 character-
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-
ards.
21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this TV/VCR/DVD, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR/DVD
is in proper operating condition.
22.Heat-This TV/VCR/DVD product should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
