Panasonic PV 27DF63 User Manual

1   POWER SOURCE CAUTION
     Operate only from power source indicated on unit
     or in this manual. If uncertain, have your Electric
     Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer
     verify your home power source.

2   POWER CORD PLUG
     For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one 

wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug. 
Always hold the plug fi rmly and make sure your 
hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC 
power cord. 

     Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
The plug fi ts into outlet only one way. If it cannot be 
fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not fi t, have an 
electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not tamper 
with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the proper
outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.

3  POWER CORD
  To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against 

electrical shock, fi re or personal injury:
-  Keep power cord away from heating appliances and 

walking traffi c. Do not rest heavy objects on, or roll 
such objects over the power cord.

-  Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
-  An extension cord should have the same type plug 

(polarized or grounding) and must be securely 
connected.

-  Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are fi re 

hazards.

-  Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
  cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should 

be replaced by a qualifi ed electrician.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
  Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
  generated during operation. If blocked, heat
  build-up may result in a fi re hazard or heat
  damage to discs. 

For your protection:

  a.Never cover ventilation slots while unit is ON, 

or operate unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug, 
or other soft surface.

  b.Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case 

or rack, unless properly ventilated.

  Do not place unit over or near a heater or radiator, in 

direct sunlight, inside closed ve hi cles, in high 
temperature [over 95 °F (35 °C)], or in over 75% 
humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place 
to a warm one, moisture may con dense in unit and on 
the disc causing dam age. Never sub ject unit to 
vibration, im pact, or place it so that the sur face is tilted 
as in ter nal parts may be se ri ous ly dam aged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
  •  Never place unit on support or 

stand that is not fi rm, level, and 
adequately strong. The unit could 
fall causing serious injury to a 
child or adult and damage to the 
unit.

  •  Move any appliance and cart 

combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces 
may cause objects to overturn.

  •  Carefully follow all operating instructions.

  Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location, 

refer again to the INSTALLATION section of these safe guards.

such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.

unplug unit and have it inspected by a qualifi ed service 
technician before use.

During a lightning storm, or before leaving unit unused for 
extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the 
power source as well as the antenna and cable system.

4  WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
  • DO NOT OPERATE IF:
  - liquid has spilled into unit.
  - unit was dropped or otherwise damaged.
  - unit emits smoke, odours, or noises.
  Immediately unplug unit, and have it inspected by a service 

technician to avoid potential fi re and shock hazards.

  •  Never drop or push any object through openings in unit. 

Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or fi re 
hazard. Do not put any foreign object on the tray.

  •  Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to 

avoid electrical interference.

5  USING ACCESSORIES
  Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to 

avoid risk of fi re, shock, or other hazards.

6 CLEANING UNIT
  Unplug unit. Use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to
  gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fl uids, 

aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into 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.

1 DO NOT SERVICE PRODUCT YOURSELF
  If, after carefully following detailed operating in struc tions, the unit 

does not operate properly, do not attempt to open or remove 
covers, or make any adjustments not described in the manual. 
Unplug unit and contact a qualifi ed service tech ni cian.

2 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
  Make sure the service technician uses only parts specifi ed by the 

manufacturer, or have equal safety char ac ter is tics as original 
parts. The use of unauthorized substitutes may result in fi re, 
electric shock, or other hazards.

3 SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING
  After unit is serviced or repaired, request that a thorough safety 

check be done as described in the manufacturer’s service 
literature to ensure video unit is in safe operating condition.

An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded 
to provide some protection against built up static charges and 
voltage. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical 
Code) provides information regarding 
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, 
con nec tion to grounding electrodes, 
and requirements for the grounding 
electrode.

OR CIRCUITS
Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines 
and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these 
power sources should it ever fall. When installing antenna, 
absolutely never touch power lines, circuits or other power 
sources as this could be fatal.
