Maintenance
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.Item 2 in "Safety" applies only in the U.S.A.  and Canada.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below.
Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type de-
scribed in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures
that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the
plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it
will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it.
Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the
plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be care-
ful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet
from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the
unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long
time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and ac-
cessories recommended in these operating instructions.
Installation
Placement
1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper ventilation. Do
not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow
at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit. To pre-
vent the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure cur-
tains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.
2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the
unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical
vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that
generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts and
stands recommended by the manufacturer. Move
carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces can cause carts to overturn.
7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit
on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instruc-
tions.
Environment
1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near
a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.
2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as
radiators.
Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5oC (41oF) or rise above
35oC (95oF).
Maintenance
(See below for details.)
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.
Service
1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by quali-
fied service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change
in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described
in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized
servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer
uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may re-
sult in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform
safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.
Do not place the
unit on amplifiers or
equipment that may
become hot.
The heat can damage the unit.

than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the
chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual
results depend on the television.)COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminalThese terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide
a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals
outputs the color difference signals (P
