There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance. 11. Power Sources ­ The appliance 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. 12. Grounding or Polarization ­ The appliance may be 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. 13. 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. 14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding ­ If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, 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 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. See FIGURE 1. 15. Lightning ­ For added protection for the appliance 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 appliance due to lightning and power-line surges. 16. 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. 17. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 18.

In case of any trouble, please contact the store where you purchased the unit. To prevent being exposed to the laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure. 8. Care For European model From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering. 9. Notes on Handling This label on the rear panel states that: 1. This unit is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT and employs a laser inside the cabinet. 2.

If the regional code of the DVD Receiver does not match one of the regional codes on the DVD video, playback is not possible. The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD Receiver. (e.g. 2 for Region 2) 10. To Obtain a Clear Picture The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer. 2. About This Manual This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the DVD Receiver. Some DVD videos do not support the full potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD Receiver may therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on discs. A" " mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Receiver or the disc. 11. Notes on Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully. · What is moisture condensation? Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit. · Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases. ­ When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place. ­ When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit. ­ In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room. ­ When you use the unit in a humid place. · Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur. If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur. 3.
