IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
17) Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
18) 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.
19) 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.
20) When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or those that have the same
characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21) Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this unit, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
22) When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of
the equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and
serious personal injury. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and
follow the instructions when making any connections.
23) Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for an extended period of time. It may
cause speaker overheating and fire.
24) This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer's attention to Article 820-
40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
25) Sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage. When you use
headphones, (if the unit is equipped with a headphone jack) keep the volume at a
moderate level. If you use headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may
cause hearing damage.
26) The mains plug is used as the disconnect and shall remain readily operable.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When
this happens, unit's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the unit 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 unit is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the unit.
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and
injury may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the
panel. This may cause skin inflammation. If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately
gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your
skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.
