1. Power Source--The unit should be connected to power supply

only of the type described in the operating instructions or as

marked on the unit.

2. Polarization--If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug

will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature, if

you are unable to insert the plug tully into the outlet, try revers-

ing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-

cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection--At 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. Never take hold of the plug

or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body

when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuee Periods--When the unit is not used, turn the power

off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should

be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

[

Environment I

Outdoor Antenna Grounding--If an outside antenna is con-

nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded

so as to provide some protaction against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with re-

spect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size

of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See figure below.

@L_tl_*_eG

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-

chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-

ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries

Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the

most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that

lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blar-

ing or distortion--and, most importantFy,without affecting your sen-

sitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive

noise.

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 soun_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.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage

or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

The functions you can use depend on the type of disc you play.

These marks are used to indicate which type of disc is available for

use.

: Feature can be used with DVD-Video

FLr;I31 : Feature can be used with Video CD

: Feature can be used with Audio CD

Some features cannot be used even if these symbols are indicated.
