WATER AND MOISTURE -- Do not use this product

near water -- for example, near a bathtub, wash

bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;

or near a swimming pool; and the like.

ACCESSORIES -- Do not place this product on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The

product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or

adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only

with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with

the product. Any mounting of the product should

follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should

use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

CART -- A product and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart

combination to overturn.

VENTILATION -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the product and to protect it from

overheating, and these openings must not be

blocked or covered. The openings should never be

blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug,

or other similar surface. This product 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.

POWER SOURCES -- This product should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

power supply to your home, consult your product

dealer or local power company.

LOCATION The appliance should be installed in a

stable location.

NONUSE PERIODS The power cord of the appliance

should be unplugged from the outlet when left un-

used for a long period of time.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than

the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This

is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug

fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the polarized plug.

If this product is equipped with a three-wire

grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)

pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.

This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

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 attention to cords at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where

they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the product,

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 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. See Figure

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.

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.

OVERLOADING -- Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles

as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY -- Never push objects of

any kind into this product 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 product.

SERVICING -- Do not attempt to service this product

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all

servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE -- Unplug this product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions:

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the product.

If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

If the product does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions as an

improper adjustment of other controls may result in

damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the product to its

normal operation.

If the product has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance -- this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS -- When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or

have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric

shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK -- Upon completion of any service or

repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the product

is in proper operating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING -- The product should

not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

HEAT -- The product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce

Sound Scape Disc

The Sound Scape disc accessory lets you

record ambient music or other effects for

mixed playback with the main program

selection on your system. "Mixed

playback" means that your CD/receiver

system's speakers will output the Sound

Scape recording together with your favorite

CD or radio program, so that there's no

need to hook up any additional audio

equipment. Have fun trying out

combinations, like listening to your favorite

music in the background while catching the

news on the radio.

Caution

Be sure to register your Sound Scape disc

before using it (see page 17).
