5EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER THENATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODECONDENSATIONMoisture will form in the operating section of the DVD/VCR if the player is brought from cool surroundings into awarm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. And when this happens, DVD/VCR's performancewill be impaired.To prevent this, let the DVD/VCR stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, ormake sure that the room temperature rises gradually.Condensation may also form during the summer if the DVD/VCR is exposed to the breeze from an airconditioner. In such cases, change the location of the DVD/VCR.25. LASER BEAMDo not look into the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of thelaser beam. It may cause sight damage.26. DISCDo not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause seriouspersonal injury and product malfunction.27. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLERThis reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC thatprovides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.TO USE AC POWER SOURCEUse the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on AC. Insertthe AC cord plug into a standard 120V 60Hz polarized AC outlet.NOTES:•Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than the specifiedvoltage (120V 60Hz). Use the attached power cord only.•If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized ACoutlet, do not attempt to file or cut the blade. It is the user’sresponsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.•If you cause a static discharge when touching the unit and theunit fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the AC outletand plug it back in. The unit should return to normal operation.Polarized AC Cord Plug(One blade is wider than the other.)AC OutletWider Holeand BladePower sourceANTENNADISCHARGE UNIT(NEC SECTION 810-20)ANTENNA LEAD IN WIREGROUNDING CONDUCTORS(NEC SECTION 810-21)GROUND CLAMPSPOWER SERVICE GROUNDINGELECTRODE SYSTEM(NEC ART 250, PART H)GROUND CLAMPELECTRIC SERVICEEQUIPMENTNEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES2898AIMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS / Power source 2C51201AE(02-05) 15/3/03, 11:13 AM5

14NOTES: •A clear picture will not be obtained by the DVD/VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect theantenna to the DVD/VCR properly.•For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use ofan outdoor type antenna is required.•If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel.If you are using an antenna system, follow these instructions. If you are a cable (CATV) subscriber,skipahead to page 16 for the proper connections. ANTENNA TO DVD/VCR CONNECTIONThe DVD/VCR must be connected “between” the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TVand connect it to the DVD/VCR. Then connect the DVD/VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connectingan antenna system to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connectiondiagram.If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300ohm inputs and one 75 ohm output.NOTE:Basic connectionsCombination VHF/UHF Antenna with 75 ohm Coaxial CableCombination VHF/UHF Antenna with 300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) WireSeparate VHF and UHF Antennas123DVD/VCRVHF UHF300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) WireMatching Transformer 300 ohm Input75 ohm output(not supplied)300 ohm Twin Lead (Flat) Wire75 ohm Coaxial Cable75 ohm Coaxial CableCombiner75/300 ohm Inputs75 ohm output(not supplied)DVD/VCRDVD/VCR 2C51201AE(12-17) 15/3/03, 11:14 AM14
