Regulatory information

MARANTZ LC2000 - Regulatory information - 1

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directive 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC

Important safety precautions

Breakage

The screen of your LCD TV is made of glass and can break if the product is dropped or knocked. If this should happen, take care to avoid injury caused by broken glass pieces or sharp edges.

Cleaning

Before cleaning your LCD TV, unplug the power cord from the mains supply. Clean with a damp cloth and do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Moving

Exercise utmost care when moving your LCD TV.

Placement

Ensure that your LCD TV is always placed on a stable surface. Do not place it on an unstable trolley, stand, tripod or table where it could fall and sustain damage as well as cause serious personal injury. If wall mounted, ensure that the set is mounted only using the holes provided for mounting in the rear.

holes provided for mounting in the rear

Power supply

Use only the power supply delivered with your LCD TV or one recommended by the manufacturer. Use the power supply only for its intended purpose.

Important note:

When the TV is switched off it still consumes a small amount of power. It is therefore recommended that the power supply is unplugged from the mains supply when the TV set is switched off for an extended period.

Sources of heat

Keep your LCD TV away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and amplifiers.

Water and moisture

Do not use your LCD TV in a damp environment, for example near a bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink or swimming pool.

Do not place it in an area when liquid may drip or splash on it and ensure that no liquid filled containers such as vases are placed on top of it.

natural_image Illustration of a TV set with sun, cloud, and rain symbols crossing over a screen (no text or labels)

Ventilation

The cabinet of your LCD TV has openings for ventilation. Do not cover or block these openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and shorten the life of your TV. Do not operate the set on soft surfaces such as a bed, sofa or rug since this may block the ventilation openings. Likewise, do not place the TV in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.

At the end of the Auto Search procedure, the screen automatically switches to the Manual Sort submenu to allow you to arrange the programmes into the order of your choice.

Using Manual Sort to assign TV channels to programmes of your choice

You can sort the programmes into the order of your choice using Manual Sort.

This automatically opens after you have run the Auto Search procedure but you can also open it manually to make changes to your programme list by selecting Manual Sort from the INSTALL menu.

The Manual Sort procedure is described in detail in the section ‘First Installation’.

The remote control has 4 shortcut keys to the right of the numerical keys allowing you to make quick adjustments to your set. When one of these keys is pressed, a small OSD appears at the bottom centre of the screen.
