8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding-type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.10) Protect the power cord from being walked
on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart
is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
To prevent damage
Avoid the following;
≥Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit.
≥Pressing the LCD.
≥Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.
Do not use the unit in the following places;
≥Where the temperature is below 5oC (41oF) or above 35oC (95 oF). (Operating the unit
beyond this range can cause the protection circuitry to function and render the unit
inoperable.)
≥Sandy places such as beaches.
≥On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers.
Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot
and cause burns.
The model number and serial number of this
product can be found on either the back or

Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be
authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing
uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or

continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear
outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥Set the dial and leave it there.ELECTRONICINDUSTRIES
