programming. To receive digital cable channels, and to watch and record

Safety information
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety
standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions of
which you should be particularly aware. Please read these instructions before
operating the equipment and save them for future reference.
-
Read Instructions — All the safety and operating instructions should be read and understood before the appliance is operated.
-
Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
-
Heed Warnings — All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be followed.
-
Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions should be followed.
-
Water and Moisture — The appliance should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
-
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.
-
Tilt/Stability — All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of their cabinet design. Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the product. Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on top of the cabinet. Such items could unexpectedly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
-
Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. Do not block ventilation holes by placing items such as magazines, clothing, etc., on top of the unit.
-
Heat — The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
-
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 and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
-
Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short the parts, resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on this product.
-
Damage Requiring Service — The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed;
B. liquid has spilled into the product;
C. the product has been exposed to rain or water;
D. the product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions (adjust only those controls that are discussed in this guide, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, often requiring extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal performance);
E. the product has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;
F. the product exhibits a distinct change in performance. -
Servicing — The user should not attempt service to the appliance beyond that described in the Troubleshooting section of this guide. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
-

-
Power Source — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this guide. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
-
Overloaded Power Outlets — do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
-
Coaxial Cable Grounding — For this product, the coaxial cable shield/screen shall be grounded as close as practical to the point of entry of the cable into the building. For products sold in the US and Canada, this is per Article 800-93 and Article 800-100 of the NEC (or Canadian Electrical Code Part 1), which provides guidelines for proper grounding of the coaxial cable shield.
-
Electric Shock — To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to a qualified service person when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when this product is subsequently used.
