Mitsubishi SR-HD5 HD DIRECTV Plus Receiver
Page iv
Polarization—This HD receiver is equipped with a plug
that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet. To prevent electric
shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or
outlet unless you can fully insert the blades without blade
exposure.
Power Sources—Operate this HD receiver 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 dealer or local power company.
Power-Cord Protection—Protect the power cord from
being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
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. Do not
block any ventilation openings, install in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
Heat—Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Accessories—To avoid personal injury or damage to
the HD receiver, do not place the HD receiver on any
unstable cart, stand, table, or bracket. Any mounting of
the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Attachments—Do not use attachments unless
recommended by Mitsubishi as they may cause hazards.
Satellite Dish Antenna Grounding—The outdoor
satellite dish antenna used to receive satellite signals and
the cable used to connect the satellite dish antenna to the
indoor receiving unit are required to comply with local
installation codes and the appropriate sections of the
National Electric Code (NEC) and in particular Article
810–15, which covers proper installation and grounding
of television receiving equipment, as well as to Article
820–33, which specifies that the satellite dish antenna
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical. These codes require proper grounding of the
metal structure of the outdoor satellite dish antenna and
grounding of the connecting cable at a point where it
enters the house (or other building). If you are having a
professional installer make the installation, the installer
must observe installation codes. This manual contains
instructions on how to make the installation in
compliance with the NEC. If additional local installation
codes apply, contact local inspection authorities.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN “RADIO
AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT”
Note: The HD receiver shall be grounded through the
satellite/local antenna cable before plugging into the
telephone jack, and it must remain grounded thereafter.
Water and Moisture—Warning! To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain
or moisture.
Lightning—For added protection for this product,
unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time. Unplug it from the wall
outlet, disconnect the antenna and cable system, and
disconnect it from the telephone line. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power line
surges.
Television Antenna Information—Installing an
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a
professional antenna installer. Do not locate the outside
antenna system 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, take extreme care to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with
them might be fatal. If an outside antenna is connected to
the HD receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the NEC,
NFPA No. 70 1987, provides information with respect to
For electrical safety, power line operated equipment
or accessories connected to this unit should bear the
UL listing mark and should not be modified so as to
defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any
potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in
doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
