CAUTION
• Do not connect the power cord until you have completed making all other

connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through
the antenna and other terminals to ground.

• To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries

from the remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any
liquid that leaks from the batteries touches you, immediately wash it
away with water.

• Since the high quality pictures on a DVD disc contain a lot of information,

picture noise may appear. In this case, adjust the sharpness (“SHARP”) in

• Connect your DVD player directly to your TV. Connecting the DVD player

through other video equipment will cause unwanted picture noise.
