Basic

Operation

Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to connect,

operate or adjust this product. Please save this manual.

As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Panasonic has determined that this

product or product model meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for

energy efficiency.

INSTALLATION

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from the 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 Video 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. 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 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near any kind of

heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside a

closed vehicle, etc.. Do not move the unit

suddenly between areas of extreme temperature

variation. If the unit is suddenly moved from a

cold place to a warm place, moisture may

condense in the unit and on the tape.

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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN

ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS

IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT

USING THE VIDEO 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 THIS VIDEO 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.

• 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 Video 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 video unit is in safe operating condition.

Important Safeguards and Precautions

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. Part 1 of the Canadian

Electrical Code, in USA Section

810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 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.

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.

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated

voltage within the unit may have sufficient

magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore,

it is dangerous to make any kind of contact

with any inside part of this unit.

This symbol alerts the user that important

literature concerning the operation and

maintenance of this unit has been included.

Therefore, it should be read carefully in order

to avoid any problems.

FCC Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this

equipment would void the user’s authority to operate.

Note to CABLE system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CABLE system installer’s attention to

Article 820-40 of the NEC in USA (and to the Canadian Electrical Code in

Canada) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,

specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system

of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
