Safety Instructions

WARNING! Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit and refer to service under conditions: damage requiring service, if liquid spills or objects fall into the cabinet, exposed to rain or moisture, unusual marks or odor, or if it stops operating normally. Do not look into the disc slot or ventilation opening to see the laser beam, as it may cause eye damage. When using headphones, keep volume moderate to avoid hearing damage. Protect the power cord from being pinched or walked on, especially at plugs, receptacles, and where it exits the unit. For grounding: connect to grounded outlet; consult electrician if unsure about grounding. Ensure antenna and cable system grounding to prevent hazards from lightning and voltage surges. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire: Read all instructions before use; do not expose to rain or moisture; do not block ventilation openings; operate on a grounded 120V outlet; unplug before servicing. Avoid using near water, heat sources, or with damaged cords. Unplug during lightning storms or extended non-use. Do not overload outlets or use extension cords. Secure TV to prevent tip-over; use two people for installation.

CAUTION! Clean with dry cloth only; unplug before cleaning; wait for condensation to clear after temperature changes. Keep children away from moving parts.
