Service

• Never place the set in a 

confined space, such as a 
bookcase, or built-in 
cabinet, unless proper 
ventilation is provided.

• Do not place the set near or 

over a radiator or heat 
register, or where it is 
exposed to direct sunlight.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, 
follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the 
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light 
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with 
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA 
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN 
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER 
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM 
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide 
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static 
charges.  Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 
provides information with respect 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.

Antenna Grounding According to the 
National Electrical Code

Lightning

For added protection for this set during a lightning 
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long 
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and 
disconnect the antenna or cable system.  This will 
prevent damage to the set due to lightning and power-
line surges.

Precautions

On safety

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not 

place objects filled with liquids, such as 
vases, on the apparatus.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into 

the cabinet, unplug the player and have it 
checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it any further.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC 

power source as long as it is connected to 
the wall outlet, even if the player itself has 
been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a 

long time, be sure to disconnect the player 
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC 
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull 
the cord.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate 

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the 
player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface 

such as a rug.

• Do not place the player in a location near 

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct 
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical 
shock.

• Do not install the player in an inclined 

position. It is designed to be operated in a 
horizontal position only.

• Keep the player and the discs away from 

equipment with strong magnets, such as 
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the player.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold 

to a warm location, or is placed in a very 
damp room, moisture may condense on the 
lenses inside the player. Should this occur, 
the player may not operate properly. In this 
case, remove the disc and leave the player 
turned on for about half an hour until the 
moisture evaporates.

• When you move the player, take out any 

discs. If you don’t, the disc may be 
damaged.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to 
a section with very low level inputs or no 
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be 
damaged when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a 
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild 
detergent solution. Do not use any type of 
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent 
such as alcohol or benzine.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available cleaning 
disc. It may cause a malfunction.

Installation

Power sources

This set should be operated only 
from the type of power source 
indicated on the marking label. If 
you are not sure of the type of 
electrical power supplied to your 
home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
For those sets designed to operate from battery power, 
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord 
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or 
with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a 
third pin for grounding).  Follow the instructions 
below:

For the set with a polarized AC power 
cord plug:

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 should still fail to fit, contact your 
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.  Do not 
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by 
forcing it in.

For the set with a three-wire grounding 
type AC plug:

This plug will only fit into a 
grounding-type power outlet.  This 
is a safety feature. If you are 
unable to insert the plug into the 
outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet 
installed.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the 
grounding plug.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, 
extension cords or convenience 
receptacles beyond their capacity, 
since this can result in fire or 
electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into 
the set through openings as they 
may touch dangerous voltage points 
or short out parts that could result in 
a fire or electric shock.  Never spill 
liquid of any kind on the set.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not 
recommended by the manufacturer, as 
they may cause hazards.

Cleaning

Unplug the set from the wall outlet 
before cleaning or polishing it.  Do 
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol 
cleaners.  Use a cloth lightly 
dampened with water for cleaning 
the exterior of the set.

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets 
near water - for example, near a 
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or 
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or 
near a swimming pool, etc.

Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so that it is 
not likely to be walked on or 
pinched by items placed upon or 
against them, paying particular 
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where 
the cord exits from the appliance.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an 
unstable cart, stand, tripod, 
bracket, or table.  The set may 
fall, causing serious injury to a 
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set.  Use 
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended 
by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination 
should be moved with care.  Quick 
stops, excessive force, and uneven 
surfaces may cause the appliance 
and cart combination to overturn.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for 
necessary ventilation.  To ensure reliable operation of 
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots 
and openings must never be blocked or covered.

• Never cover the slots and 

openings with a cloth or 
other materials.

• Never block the slots and 

openings by placing the set 
on a bed, sofa, rug or other
