IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
These products were designed and manufactured to meet strict quality
and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and
operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.
1 . Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should
be read before the system is operated.
2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliances and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions—All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug the appliances from wall outlets before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning. 6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended
by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture—Do not use these appliances near water-
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowi, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. Accessories—Do not place these appliances on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The audio/video products may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
products. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliances. Any
mounting of the appliances should follow the manufacturer's instructions,
and should use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Ventilation—Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliances and to
protect them from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the products
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. These products should never
be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. These products 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—These products should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking labels. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
1 1 . Grounding or Polarization—These products are equipped with
polarized alternating-current line plugs (plugs 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 that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliances.
13. Lightning—For added protection for these audio/video products
during a lightning storm, or when they are leftun-attended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug them from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the products due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Servicing—Do not attempt to service these products yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 1 5.
Damage Requiring Service—Unplug these products from wall outlets
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the products
c. If the products have been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the products do not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this
indicates a need for service.
1 6. 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
