design of every instrument. However, safety is
your responsibility too.
This sheet lists important information that will
help to assure your enjoyment and proper use of
the video product and accessory equipment.

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power 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 still fails to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this
polarized plug with an extension cord, recep-
tacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be
fully inserted without blade exposure. If you
need an extension cord, use a polarized cord.

refer to the operating instructions.

outlets or extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC
outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken
plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock
or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord,
and if its appearance indicates damage or
deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your
service technician.
7 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
