Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your product. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your product.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the product receiver and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the product where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling product can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the product and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the product. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
• Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed 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, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about 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.

TV-14 Parents strongly cautioned. This program may contain sophisticated themes, sexual content, strong language and more intense violence.
TV-Y7 Directed to older children. Themes and elements in this program may include mild physical or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of seven.
TV-PG Parental guidance suggested. The program may contain infrequent coarse language, limited violence, some suggestive sexual dialogue and situations.

Each code numbers must be three digits long. For example, to enter the code “6,” press 0, 0 and 6. To enter the code “76,” press 0, 7 and 6.
If the number is correct, the indicator will blink three times. If the indicator does not blink three times, repeat step1,2 and try another code number.
Refer to the remote-control code tables on the following pages to find the appropriate code for your particular component. If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works.
