PRECAUTIONS
Taking time to read these operation instructions carefully before using the DVD Receiver will acquaint you fully with all its
features and help ensure optimum performance.
1. Power sources
This product 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 product dealer or local Power Company.
2. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded
AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs
are dangerous.
They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically
examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates
damages or deteriorated receptacles, have it replaced by
our service technician.
3. Power-Cord Protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product.
4. Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
5. Conditions Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer serving
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 operation instructions. Adjust only those controls
covered by the operation instructions. 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 damaged in any
way, and
F. When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
6. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, have the service
technician verify that the replacement parts he uses have
the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use
of replacements specified by the product manufacturer
can prevent fire, electric shock, or hazards.
7. Power plug
• When disconnecting the power cord from the power
outlet, always take hold of the plug, and not the
wire, and pull free. Never connect or disconnect the
power plug with wet hands since you may receive
an electric shock.
• Remember to disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet when you do not intend to use the unit
for a prolonged period of time.
8. Do not remove the case and bottom panel
Any inspections or adjustments inside the unit may lead
to malfunctions and electric shocks. Do not touch any of
the inside parts.
9. Do not block the ventilation holes
Do not block the ventilation holes on the top of the unit by
placing records or other objects over them.
This will increase the inside temperature and may lead to
failure or malfunction.
10. Installation precautions
Do not install the unit in any of the following locations
since this may result in a deterioration in performance or
malfunction:
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight or near objects
radiating heat such as heating appliances.
• Locations exposed to moisture or humidity.
• Locations with poor ventilation or exposed to dust or
dirt.
• Locations which are unstable and not perfectly flat
or which are susceptible to vibration.
11. Do not wipe with thinner
Wipe the panels and case from time to time with a soft
cloth. Using any kind of thinner, alcohol, or volatile liquid
will mar the surface, cause blotching on the exterior and
erase the markings and should therefore be avoided.
Do not use insecticide sprays in the vicinity.
This unit dissipates the heat most effectively when installed on a flat surface.
Do not stand it up or install it at an angle.
