Important Safeguards and Precautions
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT
INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from a power source indicated on the
unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your
Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products
Dealer verify the power source in your home.
2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG
As a safety feature, this product comes with either
a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider
than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot
fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit,
have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not
defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding
outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the
proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by
tampering with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are routed so that they
are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll
over them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also
has either a polarized or grounded plug and that
the cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If they are blocked,
heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures that
may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
cassettes or discs.
For protection, follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in
use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case
or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.
5 PLACEMENT: AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS
OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place the unit over or near heater or
radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles,
in high temperature [over 104°F (40°C)], or in over
75% humidity. If the unit is suddenly moved from
a cold place to a warm one, moisture may
condense in the unit and on the tape causing
damage. Never subject the unit to vibration,
impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as
internal parts may be seriously damaged.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping
surface.
• Do not place this unit on any support that is not
firm, level, and adequately strong.
The unit could fall causing serious
injury to a child or adult and
damage to the unit.
• An appliance and cart
combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
• Carefully follow all operating instructions and
use the manufacturer's recommended
accessories when operating this unit or
connecting it to any other equipment.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against built up static
charges and voltage surges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada,
part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) 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.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from
power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never
come into contact with these power sources if it should happen
to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should
be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power
sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved,
antenna installation should be left to a professional.
USING THE UNIT
If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location,
refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.
1 KEEP THE UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.
2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR
STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by a
qualified service technician before use.
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM
During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or
before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time,
disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as
the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
• Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE
if liquid has been spilled into the unit. Immediately unplug
the unit, and have it inspected by a service technician.
Fire and shock hazards can result from electrical shorts
caused by liquid contact inside.
• Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit.
Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact
can cause electric shock or fire hazard.
Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray.
• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set
as this may cause electrical interference. Keep all magnets
away from electronic equipment.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to
avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING THE UNIT
Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated
cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning
fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep
into the unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance such
as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface.
Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely
affect internal parts.
SERVICE
1 DO NOT SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF
If, after carefully following the detailed operating
instructions, this product does not operate properly, do not
attempt to open or remove covers, or make any
adjustments not described in the manual. Unplug the unit
and contact a qualified service technician.
2 IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
Make sure the service technician uses only parts specified
by the manufacturer, or those having the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. The use of unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
3 HAVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK
After any service or repairs to the unit, request the service
technician to conduct a thorough safety check as
described in the manufacturer’s service literature to ensure
that the unit is in safe operating condition.

Cleaning DECK
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes
on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be
marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since
the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a non-abrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.

For your reference:
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel)
sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,
DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from
the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from
titles with the Dolby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic
Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does not
contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital”
and “PCM” at “dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output” (see p. 48).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may
be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• When a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder is connected, please select “Bitstream” at “dts” or
“Dolby Digital” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output”.
If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 48.)
• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
