Important Safeguards and Pre cau tions

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

USING THE UNIT

INSTALLATION

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from power source indicated on unit

or in this manual. If uncertain, have your Electric

Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer

verify your home power source.

2 POWER CORD PLUG

For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one

wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug.

Always hold the plug ﬁ rmly and make sure your

hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC

power cord.

Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. from the plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

The plug ﬁ ts into outlet only one way. If it cannot be fully

inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not ﬁ t, 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

To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against

electrical shock, ﬁ re or personal injury:

- Keep power cord away from heating appliances and

walking trafﬁ c. Do not rest heavy objects on, or roll

such objects over the power cord.

- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.

- An extension cord should have the same type plug

(polarized or grounding) and must be securely

connected.

- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are ﬁ re

hazards.

- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or

cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should

be replaced by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

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 ﬁ re hazard or heat

damage to cassettes or discs.

For your protection:

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 properly ventilated.

5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place unit over or near a heater or radiator, in

direct sunlight, inside closed ve hi cles, in high

temperature [over 95 °F (35 °C)], or in over 75%

humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place

to a warm one, moisture may con dense in unit and on

the tape causing dam age. Never sub ject unit to

vibration, im pact, or place it so that the sur face is tilted

as in ter nal parts may be se ri ous ly dam aged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Never place unit on support or

stand that is not ﬁ rm, level, and

adequately strong. The unit could

fall causing serious injury to a

child or adult and damage to the

unit.

• Move any appliance and cart

combination with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces

may cause objects to overturn.

• Carefully follow all operating instructions.

Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location,

refer again to the INSTALLATION section of these safe guards.

1 KEEP UNIT WELL AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE,

such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.

2 IF EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR STRONG IMPACT,

unplug unit and have it inspected by a qualiﬁ ed service

technician before use.

3 ELECTRICAL STORMS

During a lightning storm, or before leaving unit unused for

extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the

power source as well as the antenna and cable system.

4 WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN

• DO NOT OPERATE IF:

- liquid has spilled into unit.

- unit was dropped or otherwise damaged.

- unit emits smoke, odours, or noises.

Immediately unplug unit, and have it inspected by a service

technician to avoid potential ﬁ re and shock hazards.

• Never drop or push any object through openings in unit.

Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or ﬁ re

hazard. Do not put any foreign object on the tray.

• Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to

avoid electrical interference.

5 USING ACCESSORIES

Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to

avoid risk of ﬁ re, shock, or other hazards.

6 CLEANING UNIT

Unplug unit. Use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to

gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning ﬂ uids,

aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into unit

and cause electrical shock. Any substance, such as wax,

adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to

greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal

parts.

READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL

WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON UNIT

SERVICE

1 DO NOT SERVICE PRODUCT YOURSELF

If, after carefully following detailed operating in struc tions, the unit

does not operate properly, do not attempt to open or remove

covers, or make any adjustments not described in the manual.

Unplug unit and contact a qualiﬁ ed service tech ni cian.

2 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

Make sure the service technician uses only parts speciﬁ ed by the

manufacturer, or have equal safety char ac ter is tics as original

parts. The use of unauthorized substitutes may result in ﬁ re,

electric shock, or other hazards.

3 SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING

After unit is serviced or repaired, request that a thorough safety

check be done as described in the manufacturer’s service

literature to ensure video unit is in safe operating condition.

1 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,

location of antenna discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding

electrode.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES

OR CIRCUITS

Locate 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Caution for optical digital audio

output connector:

• When connecting an ampliﬁ er (with an Optical

digital input connector) which does not contain

the Dolby Digital or dts decoder, be sure to

select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital” and “PCM” at

“dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “AUDIO

OUTPUT” (see page 65). Otherwise, any

attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high

level of noise that it may be harmful to your

ears and damage your speakers.

• When a dts decoder is connected, please

select “Bitstream” at “dts” of the Settings for

DVD Operation “AUDIO OUTPUT.” If “PCM” is

selected, there will be stereo sound. (See

page 65).

• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.

• Some dts decoders which do not support

DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with

the unit.

Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48

kHz sampling when it is output from the unit’s optical

digital audio output connector.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique

developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo

(2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of

sound data to be efﬁ ciently recorded on a disc.

• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While

CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48

kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will

obtain the full beneﬁ t of Pro Logic from the same DVD

movies that provide full 5.1 channel Dolby Digital

soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround

mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro

Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local

dealer.
