OWNER'S MANUAL

MANUEL DU PROPRIETAIRE

CAUTION

< Read all of these Instructions.

< Save these Instructions for later use.

< Follow all Warnings and Instructions marked on the audio equipment.

1) Read Instructions -- All the safety and operating instructions should

be read before the product is operated.

2) Retain Instructions -- The safety and operating instructions should

be retained for future reference.

3) Heed Warnings -- All warnings on the product and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

4) Follow Instructions -- All operating and use instructions should be

followed.

5) Cleaning -- Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for

cleaning.

6) Attachments -- Do not use attachments not recommended by the

product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7) Water and Moisture -- Do not use this product near water -- for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a

wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8) Accessories -- Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to

a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer,

or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the

manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory

recommended by the manufacturer.

9) A product and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the product and cart combination

to overturn.

10) Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the

product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not

be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by

placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This

product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the

manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

11) Power Sources -- This product should be operated only from the

type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure

of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer

or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12) Grounding or Polarization -- This product may be equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider

than the other). 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 replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

13) Power-Cord Protection -- 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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

product.

14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or

cable

system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to

Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper

grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be

connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point

of cable entry as practical."

15) Lightning -- For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

16) Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be located in

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power

circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to

keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them

might be fatal.

17) Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or

electric shock.

18) Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into this

product 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 product.

19) Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or

other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20) Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this product from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

a ) when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b ) if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

c ) if the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d) if the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance _ this

indicates a need for service.

21) Replacement Parts -- When replacement parts are required, be

sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by

the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

22) Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The product should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

24) Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including

amplifiers) that produce heat.
