10. POWER SOURCE
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug 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, if your unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet.
This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended 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 unit 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.

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric
shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article

system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the DVD/VCR if the player is
brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of
the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the DVD/VCR's performance
will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the DVD/VCR stand in its new surroundings for about an
hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises
gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the DVD/VCR is exposed
to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of
the DVD/VCR.
