  1. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV/DVD/VHS and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV/DVD/VHS on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV/DVD/VHS should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV/DVD/VHS 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.

FIGURE A EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE GROUND CLAMP ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT NEC - NATIONAL ELECTRI CAL CODE ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20) GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) S2898A

  1. Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV/DVD/VHS, 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 No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)

  2. Lightning-For added protection for this TV/DVD/VHS receiver 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 TV/DVD/VHS due to lightning and power-line surges.

  3. 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.

  4. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this TV/DVD/VHS 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 TV/DVD/VHS.

  1. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/DVD/VHS yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

  2. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/DVD/VHS 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 or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV/DVD/VHS.

c. If the TV/DVD/VHS has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the TV/DVD/VHS does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV/DVD/VHS to its normal operation.

e. If the TV/DVD/VHS has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the TV/DVD/VHS exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for service.

  1. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.

  2. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV/DVD/VHS, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV/DVD/VHS is in proper operating condition.

  3. Heat-This TV/DVD/VHS product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

- Weak snowy reception on TV screen
- Multiplex signal reception displaying picture ghosts or airplane flutter.
- Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes.
