surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the product and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
product 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 product should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type 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 Polarization -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 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
appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the product, 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
regard 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

electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. (Fig.A)
14. Lightning - For added protection for this product during
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

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.

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 damaged in any way.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance 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 or have
the same characteristics as the original part.

About DVR (HDD)
DVR is a special component which has high recording
density and is suited for long-time recording or high-speed
cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause
breakage. Use DVR on the premise that you should dub the
recorded programs to a DVD disc or a videotape to protect
your precious videos.
DVR is a temporary storage location.
DVR is not a permanent storage location of the recorded
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location
until you watch the programs once dub them to a DVD disc
or a videotape.
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you
find abnormalities in DVR.
If there is mechanical trouble with the DVR, grinding or
other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on
the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may
continue and eventually the DVR may not be used at all. If
you notice these symptoms of a failing DVR, promptly dub
the data to a DVD disc or a videotape.
When an DVR fails, recovery of recorded content (data)
may be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of DVR
recording time:
In recording to DVR, the Remaining Capacity Display may
differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts
Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording
(storage) amount of data in conformity with the information
amount of video. Before recording to the DVR, ensure there
is sufficient space on the DVR by deleting unnecessary titles
in advance.
