In addition to the careful attention devoted to
quality standards in the manufacture of your
video product, safety is a major factor in the
design of every instrument. However, safety is
your responsibility too.
This sheet lists important information that will
help to assure your enjoyment and proper use
of the video product and accessory equipment.
Please read them carefully before operating and
using your video product.
Installation
1 Read and Follow Instructions—All the
safety and operating instructions should be
read before the video product is operated.
Follow all operating instructions.
2 Retain Instructions—The safety and
operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3 Heed Warnings—Comply with all
warnings on the video product and in the
operating instructions.
4 Polarization—This video product is
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 still fails to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this
polarized plug with an extension cord, recep-
tacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be
fully inserted without blade exposure. If you
need an extension cord, use a polarized cord.
5 Power Sources—This video product
should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your video dealer or local power
company. For video products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
6 Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets
or extension cords as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are
dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire
hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service
technician.
7 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, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the video product.
8 Ventilation—Slots and openings in the
case are provided for ventilation to ensure
reliable operation of the video product and to
protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This video product should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This video product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
video product manufacturer’s instructions have
been followed.
9 Attachments—Do not use attachments
unless recommended by the video product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10 Water and Moisture—Do not use this
video product near water—for example, near a
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool and the like.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

operated equipment or accessories connected
