INSTALLATION

t

POWER 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.
2 POWER 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 firmly 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 fits into outlet one way. If it cannot be fully
inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, 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, fire or personal injury:
- Keep power cord away from heating appliances
and walking traffic. 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 is a
fire hazard.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified 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 fire 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 ventitated.
5 PLACEMENT AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS
OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place unit over or near a heater or
regulator, 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.
6TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Never place unit on support or stand that is not
firm, level, and adequately strong.
The unit could fall causing serious _FI.I_.
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.

reference:

• Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 efficiently
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 benefit of Pro Logic from

Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with
