18.Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec-
tric 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.

the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
8. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular at-
tention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
9. Lightning – For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.
19.Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the product, be sure the an-
tenna 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 70,
provides information with regard 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.

damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is
connected to an amplification system.
To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to
the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.
1. In case an associated system component is connected, also read the instruction manual of the component.
2. If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver (amplifier), the receiver produces
a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
