of power supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
For products intended to operate from
battery power or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR PO ARIZATION
This product 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 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.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so

point where they exit from the appliance.
13. IGHTNING
To protect your product from 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.
14. POWER INES
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.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND IQUID 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 fire or electric shock. Never
spill or spray any type of liquid on the product.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
product, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge product,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for grounding electrodes.
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. REP ACEMENT PARTS

Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio and video equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is
only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can
maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the
most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion, and most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You istening For A ifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment.
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels
is included for your protection.
