PERSONNEL.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
)liance.
Portions of the advanced circuitry of this Receiver/Controller must continue to operate even when
the Receiver/Controller is turned off. Some of these circuits therefore need to be cooled at all
times. A low power standby fan may be heard in a quiet environment. This is normal operation.
Warning: To avoid permanently imprinting a fixed image onto your projection television or plasma
monitor screen, please do not display the same stationary images on the screen for more than 15% of
your total TV viewing in one week. Examples of stationary images are letterbox top/bottom bars from
DVD disc or other video sources, side bars when showing standard TV pictures on widescreen TV's,
stock market reports, video game patterns, black or bright Closed Caption backgrounds, station Iogos,
web sites or stationary computer images. Such patterns can unevenly age the picture tubes or plasma
display panels, causing permanent damage to the display. Please see page 35 for a detailed explanation.
Note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause
artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In the case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the connection to the standard definition output. If there are
questions regarding your TV set compatibility with this receiver/controller at 525p, please contact our
customer service center.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER'S
ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-40 OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER GROUNDING AND,
IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM
OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.
