INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from power source indicated on unit
or in this manual. If uncertain, have an Electric
Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer
verify your home power source.
2 POWER CORD PLUG
For safety, this unit comes with a polarized
type plug (one wide blade), or a three-wire
grounding type plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTfON:
The plug fits into outlet one way. If it cannot be
fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fit.
have an electrician install the proper wall outlet.
Do not tamper with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the
proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so they
are not likely to have anything rest on
them,roll over them, or be in the way of
walking traffic. An extension cord should have
the same type plug (polarized or grounding)
and must be securely connected. Overloading*
wait outlets or extension cords may cause fire
hazard. Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and
damaged or cracked wire insulation are
hazardous and should be replaced by a
qualified electrician.
SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
An outside antenna or cable system must be
properly grounded to provide some protection
against built up static charges and voltage.
Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada,
part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) provides information
regarding proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, (ocation of
antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS
Locale an outside antenna system well away from power lines and electric light or
power circuits so it will never touch these power sources should it ever fall. When
installing antenna, absolutely never touch power lines, circuits or other power
sources as this could be fatal.

hazardous voltages and contact can cause electric shock or fire hazard.
• Avoid placing unit directly on top or underneath a TV as this may cause electrical
interference. Keep all magnets away from electronic equipment.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of fire,
shock, or other hazards.

tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas
may adversely affect internal parts.
SERVICE
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release
heat generated during operation. If blocked,
heat build-up may result in a fire hazard or
heat damage to cassettes.
For your protecfton;
a. Never cover ventilation slots while unit is
ON, or operate unit while placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book
case or rack, unless property ventilated,
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
