Important Safeguards and Precautions

READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL

WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON UNIT

INSTALLATION

1POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from power source indicated on unit or in this manual. If uncertain, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify your home power source.

2POWER CORD PLUG

For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug. Always hold the plug ???rmly and make sure your hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC power cord.

Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug.

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

The plug ???ts into outlet only one way. If it cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not ???t, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.

3 POWER CORD

To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against electrical shock, ???re or personal injury:

-Keep power cord away from heating appliances and walking traf???c. Do not rest heavy objects on, or roll such objects over the power cord.

-Do not tamper with the cord in any way.

-An extension cord should have the same type plug (polarized or grounding) and must be securely connected.

-Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are ???re hazards.

-Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be replaced by a quali???ed electrician.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. If blocked, heat build-up may result in a ???re hazard or heat damage to cassettes or discs.

For your protection:

a.Never cover ventilation slots while unit is ON, or operate unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.

b.Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or rack, unless properly ventilated.

5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place unit over or near a heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles, in high temperature [over 95 ??F (35 ??C)], or in over 75% humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one, moisture may condense in unit and on the tape causing damage. Never subject unit to

vibration, impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as internal parts may be seriously damaged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

??? Never place unit on support or stand that is not ???rm, level, and

adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.

??? Move any appliance and cart combination with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause objects to overturn.

??? Carefully follow all operating instructions.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to provide some protection against built up static charges

and voltage. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information regarding

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH

VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS

Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these power sources should it ever fall. When installing antenna, absolutely never touch power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal.

USING THE UNIT

Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location, refer again to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.

1 KEEP UNIT WELL AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE, such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.

2 IF EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR STRONG IMPACT, unplug unit and have it inspected by a quali???ed service technician before use.

3 ELECTRICAL STORMS

During a lightning storm, or before leaving unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as the antenna and cable system.

4 WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN

??? DO NOT OPERATE IF:

-liquid has spilled into unit.

-unit was dropped or otherwise damaged.

-unit emits smoke, odours, or noises.

Immediately unplug unit, and have it inspected by a service technician to avoid potential ???re and shock hazards.

???Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or ???re hazard. Do not put any foreign object on the tray.

???Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to avoid electrical interference.

5 USING ACCESSORIES

Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of ???re, shock, or other hazards.

6 CLEANING UNIT

Unplug unit. Use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning ???uids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance, such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.

SERVICE

1 DO NOT SERVICE PRODUCT YOURSELF

If, after carefully following detailed operating instructions, the unit does not operate properly, do not attempt to open or remove covers, or make any adjustments not described in the manual. Unplug unit and contact a quali???ed service technician.

2 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

Make sure the service technician uses only parts speci???ed by the manufacturer, or have equal safety characteristics as original parts. The use of unauthorized substitutes may result in ???re, electric shock, or other hazards.

3 SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING

After unit is serviced or repaired, request that a thorough safety check be done as described in the manufacturer???s service literature to ensure video unit is in safe operating condition.

Do not block ventilation holes of any equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables.

Enjoying digital audio output from the digital audio output connector

Notes on audio output from the optical digital audio output connector

*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be selected by the Settings for DVD Operation. (See page 59.)

*2 Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48 kHz sampling when it is output from the unit???s optical digital audio output connector.

For your reference:

???Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be ef???ciently recorded on a disc.

???Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

???If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full bene???t of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:

???When connecting an ampli???er (with an Optical digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital or dts decoder, be sure to select ???PCM??? at ???Dolby Digital??? and ???PCM??? at ???dts??? of the Settings for DVD Operation ???AUDIO OUTPUT??? (see page 59). Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

???When a dts decoder is connected, please select ???Bitstream??? at ???dts??? of the Settings for DVD Operation ???AUDIO OUTPUT.??? If ???PCM??? is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See page 59).

???Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.

Note

???Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with the unit.
