IMPORTANT NOTICE ! The inside of your Touch Box 4 contains components submitted to high tension. Never open the product, even after having removed the sector cable. In general, audio video products are not related to the earth so you can actually feel electric waves (which are not dangerous) by touching the two pro- ducts simultaneously (or one product and the antenna cable).
