protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision
Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited
viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision
Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
PLACING THE RECEIVER
Do not place objects directly on top of the receiver as it could
prevent proper heat dispersal.
When installing in a rack or shelf, be sure to leave more than 8
inches of space above and behind the receiver.
MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS
Be careful not to bend cables over the top of the receiver. If
cables are placed on top of the receiver, the magnetic field
produced by the receiver’s transformers can cause the speakers
to produce a humming noise.
USING DISCS
When using discs, you must always take the following
precautions:
• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or
near heat sources.
• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust
such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects
on discs outside of their case may cause warping.
Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound
deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a
soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.
If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc
lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry
cloth.
Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzene,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl
LPs. They might damage the disc.

NFPA 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 antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides
guidelines for 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.
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.
