damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting
of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and
cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions
before operating this appliance. Adhere to all warnings on
the appliance and in the instruction manual. Follow all the
safety and operating instructions. These safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
1. Power sources ­ The appliance should be connected to
a power supply only of the type described in the instruction
manual or as marked on the appliance. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company. For appliances
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the instruction manual.
2. 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, pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
3.
CAUTION ­ Polarization ­This appliance may be
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.

table-cloth on the appliance. Place the appliance at least
10 cm away from the walls.
Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings. This

instruction manual. All other servicing should be
referred to qualified service personnel.
17. Outdoor antenna grounding ­ If an outside
antenna is connected to the appliance, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up
static charges. Article 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. See
Figure.
18. 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.
19. AC outlets ­ Do not connect other audio equipment
with a power consumption larger than that
specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never
connect other electrical appliances, such as an
iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric
shock.

required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.

repairs to this appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is
in proper operationg condition.
