Important Safety Instructions—Read Before Operating Equipment
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards.
There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be
particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the system is operated.
2. Retain Instructions. The safety and operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings. All warnings on the appliances and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions. All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning. Unplug the appliance from wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments. Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture. Do not use these appliances near water—for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement,
or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. Accessories. Do not place these appliances on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The audio/video products may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the products. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliances.
Any mounting of the appliances should follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and should use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the appliances and to protect them from overheating,
and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the products on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. 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 labels. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
11. Grounding or Polarization. This product is equipped with polarized alternating-
current line plugs (plugs 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 cord should be routed so that it is not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliances.
13. Lightning. For added protection for this audio/video product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left un-attended 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. 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.
15. Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry. Never push objects of any kind into this product
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 this audio/video product.
17. Servicing. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service. Unplug this product from wall outlets and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions,
as an improper 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 the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates
a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that the
parts have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20. Safety Check. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the products are
in proper operating condition.
21. Carts and Stands. The appliances should be used only with a cart or stand that
is recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
