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.

be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A.The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged.
B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into
the appliance.
C.The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D.The appliance does not appear to operate normally
by following the instruction manual. Adjust only those

improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation.
E.The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
F.The appliance exhibits a marked change in performance.
16.Servicing  –  The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the 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.
20.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
21.Attachment – Do not use attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
22.Replacement parts – When replacement parts are 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.
23. Safety check – Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this appliance, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper
operating condition.
Notes:
1.Item 3 is not required except for grounded or polarized equipment.
2.Item 17 and 18 are not required except for units provided with
antenna terminals.
3. Item 17 complies with UL in the U.S.A.
