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.
8 Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to
ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This
video product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This

unless proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer's instructions
have been followed.

manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline operated equipment or accessories
connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the
accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to defeat the safety features.
This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact
qualified service personnel.
