–Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-
tion.  These ensure reliable operation of the product and pro-
tect it from overheating.  These openings must not be blocked
or covered. (The openings should never be blocked by plac-
ing the product on bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. It should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the
manufacturer ’s  instructions have been adhered to.)
For proper ventilation, separate the product from other equip-
ment, which may prevent ventilation and keep a distance of
more than 11-7/8 (30 cm).
– This product should be operated only with the type of power
source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer
or local power company .
– This product is equipped with a three-wire plug.  This plug
will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the grounded plug.
– 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 doors,
plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
– For added protection of this product during 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 cable
system.  This will prevent damage to the product due to light-
ning and power line surges.
– Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience
receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
– Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
– Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages
and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified service per-
sonnel.
– Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the
product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water .
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions.  Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the Operation Manual, as an improper ad-
justment of controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to re-
store the product to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way .
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance - this indicates a need for service.
–W hen replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or with same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
– Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to de-
termine that the product is in proper operating condition. –
The product should be placed more than one foot away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
–W hen connecting other products such as VCR’ s, and per-
sonal computers, you should turn of f the power of this prod-
uct for protection against electric shock.
– Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For ex-
ample, cloth, paper , matches, aerosol cans or gas lighters
that present special hazards when over heated.
– Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination
lamp is turned on. Exposure of your eyes to the strong light
