14. Lightning - For added protection for this unit receiver 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 will prevent  
damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.  
15. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be  
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec-  
tric 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.  
16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension  
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind  
into this unit through openings as they may touch dangerous  
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or  
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.  
18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as  
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-  
vice personnel.  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operat-  
ing instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered  
by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of  
other controls may result in damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to  
its normal operation.  
e. If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
f. When the unit 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 that have the same character-  
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may  
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-  
ards.  
21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to  
this unit, ask the service technician to perform routine safety  
checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating con-  
dition.  
22. Heat - This unit product should be situated away from heat  
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

lines 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.  
LOCATION  
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of the unit, keep the following in mind when selecting a place  
for its installation:  
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.  
• Avoid dusty or humid places.  
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes at the  
top and bottom of the unit. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation holes.  
• Install unit in a horizontal position.  
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.  
• Do not place the unit near strong magnetic fields.  
• Avoid moving unit to locations where temperature differences are extreme.  
• Be sure to remove disc and unplug the AC power cord from the outlet before carrying the unit.  
TO AVOID THE HAZARDS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.  
• If, by accident, water is spilled on your unit, unplug the power cord immediately and take the unit to our  
Authorized Service Center for servicing.  
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the unit disc loading tray.  
• Do not place anything directly on top of the unit.  
MOISTURE WARNING  
• Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, or  
after heating a cold room or under conditions of high humidity. If you play a videotape or DVD in a moist  
unit, it may damage the tape or DVD and the unit. When the condensation occurs inside the unit, turn the  
unit on and leave it at least 2 hours to dry out.

If you cannot play back a disc which bears one of the marks above, check the following notes.  
*1: This unit conforms to the NTSC color system. Discs recorded in other color systems such as PAL cannot  
be played back.  
*2: Certain DVD-Video discs do not operate as described in this manual due to the intentions of the disc's producers.  
*3: Discs recorded in the VR (Video Recording) format cannot be played back.  
*4: Scratched or stained discs may not be played back.  
*5: Some discs cannot be played back because of incompatible recording conditions, characteristics of the

*6:You can play back discs which bear the marks above. If you use nonstandardized discs, this unit may  
not play them back. Even if they are played back, the sound or video quality will be compromised.  
*7:You may play back the unfinalized DVD-R/RW disc recorded in the video format on our brand's DVD  
recorder. However, depending on the recording status of a disc, the disc may not be played back at all  
or normally (the picture or sound may not be smooth, etc.). In this case, you need to finalize the disc  
with the DVD recorder. Refer to the manual accompanying the DVD recorder.  
*8: Only the discs recorded in the video format and finalized can be played back.  
Unfinalized discs cannot be played back. Depending on the recording status of a disc, the disc may not  
be played back at all or normally (the picture or sound may not be smooth, etc.).  
*9: If there is too much recording space left on a disc (the used portion is less than 55mm across), it may  
not play back properly.  
*10: Do not glue paper or put stickers on to the disc. These may damage the disc and the unit may not read  
it correctly.  
*11: The number inside the symbol refers to a region of the world and a disc encoded in a specific region  
format can only be played back on unit with the same region code.
