Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

ENGLISH

7 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens

when:
- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function
normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then
try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted

on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instruc-
tions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.

2 Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped

with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and
try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please
call a qualified service technician to service or replace the
outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized
plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull out by the AC

power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this

could result in fire or shock.

- Power cord should be routed to avoid being severely bent,

pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord
from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords

beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use a

polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or
other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted
to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power plug from the power

socket if the unit will not be used for several months or more.
When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues
to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make

sure it is located away from power lines.

2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system

is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminals.

PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for
future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating In-
structions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as
the safety suggestions below.

1 Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including

heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.
It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C
(41°F) or greater than 35°C (95°F).

3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
4 Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate

space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.
Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the
unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from the each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that

may block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight

rack where ventilation may be impeded.

5 Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids

do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
