ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the  
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as  
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up  
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of  
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding  
electrode.  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But improper  
use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. This  
product has been engineered and manufactured to assure your  
personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in safeguards,  
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and  
servicing.  
ATTENTION:  
2. Lightning  
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your  
product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read  
all the safety and operating instructions before you operate this  
product and keep this booklet for future reference.  
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or  
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,  
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or  
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to  
lightning and power-line surges.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Grounding or Polarization  
(A)Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-  
current line 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.  
3. Power Lines  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity  
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,  
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When  
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be  
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as  
contact with them might be fatal.  
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
(B)Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type  
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit  
into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.  
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.  
2. Power Sources  
Operate your product only from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of  
power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local  
power company. If your product is intended to operate from  
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating  
instructions.  
3. Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral  
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
4. 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 at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

Label side facing up  
Disc tray  
Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since  
disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be  
sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the  
disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise  
damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner  
groove.

You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an  
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the  
DIGITAL OUT connector of the unit.  
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges  
Double-sided discs:  
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves  
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side  
you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc  
with “Side A” facing down, programs are recorded on side A.  
Single-sided discs:

Care And Handling Of Discs  
How to handle discs  
When handling a disc, do not  
touch the surface of the disc.  
Since discs are made of  
plastic, they are easily  
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,  
dusty, scratched or warped, the  
images and sound will not be  
picked up correctly, and such a  
disc may cause the unit to malfunction.  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives  
on its surface.  
Recording side  
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording  
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc  
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a  
DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirty when removed from  
cartridge then put back in after use.  
Storage  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on  
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be  
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be  
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or  
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!  
Maintenance of discs  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering  
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving  
from the centre outwards.  
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth  
moistened with water. Never use record  
cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static  
agents.  
CAUTION:  
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may  
be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up  
to industry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the  
malfunction of the unit.

Plug & Play Set  
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set  
This unit sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC  
power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable  
must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.  
The time and date are set automatically by the clock setting data  
transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call  
this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your  
area.  
NOTES:  
Auto Clock Set is performed first. AAUTOB blinks on the front  
display panel during Auto Clock Set.  
Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all  
the channels that are receivable by your unit. During Auto  
Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are  
When Plug & Play setting has been completed successfully, the  
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting  
successfully, there is no need to perform ACLOCK SETB  
(A pg. 19) and ATUNER SETB (A pg. 20). If, however, you want  
to add or delete channels, refer to AMANUAL CH SETB  
(A pg. 20).  
ATTENTION:  
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may not  
receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this  
function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be  
necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set  
procedure.

INFORMATION  
If AAUTO CLOCKB is set to AONB (A pg. 19) the clock will be  
adjusted automatically by the host channel using the incoming  
PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock  
adjustment can only be performed when the unit is turned off.)  
If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or  
because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be  
performed when power is restored to the unit.  
Plug & Play Completed  
The current time is displayed.  
If an incorrect clock time or A- - : - -B appears on the front  
display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting  
failed” on the left column.  
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed  
If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you  
may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from  
an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a  
cable TV system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set”  
(A pg. 19) or “Manual Clock Set” (A pg. 19).  
If A- - : - -B appears on the front display panel, your antenna  
Host PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the  
antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the  
unit; the Plug & Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If  
Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable  
is connected correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” (A pg. 19)  
and “Auto Channel Set” (A pg. 20) or “Manual Channel Set”  
(A pg. 20).

Second Audio Recording  
This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel  
TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set A2ND  
AUDIO RECORDB to AONB. (A pg. 59)  
To record the entire program, the unit automatically sets the  
appropriate recording mode depending on the combination of the  
total time of the program to be recorded and either the remaining  
disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to  
480 minutes when using 4.7 GB blank media disc).  
NOTE:  
When the channel is changed on the unit;  
The AMONOB indicator appears on the screen for about 5  
seconds if the program is a monaural broadcast.  
The ASTEREOB indicator appears on the screen for about 5  
seconds if the program is a stereo broadcast.  
Both ASTEREOB and ASAPB indicators appear when a stereo  
program is accompanied by SAP sound.  
8 To record the entire program within the actual remaining  
disc space  
Select AFR (JUST)B in a recording mode selection procedure.  
Note that this function is available only for timer programming

NOTES:  
You can program this unit to timer record, regardless of the disc  
remaining time. If the disc remaining time is not enough, it is not  
possible to record until the end of the timer program. To avoid  
this, confirm the disc remaining time before setting timer  
programming.  
(Example) If you programmed to timer record for 60 minutes in  
SP mode on a 120 minutes disc, the disc remaining time would  
be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes  
in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480  
mode. Timer recording will not complete beyond these remaining  
times.  
The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as  
the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a  
long program in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining  
time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time  
in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the  
program.  
Even if more than one program are timer programmed in FR  
(JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature  
may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on  
the disc where the unit switches the mode.

Program Recording mode. Otherwise, the unit will start  
recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned on.  
Automatic Satellite Program Recording and timer recording  
cannot be done at the same time.  
For timer programming of the DBS receiver, refer to the  
instruction manual of the DBS receiver.  
Automatic Satellite Program Recording is not possible if your  
DBS receiver does not have a timer.  
Pressing the unit’s A button while Automatic Satellite Program  
Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and  
disengages the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode.  
If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record

set different recording modes for each program.  
Depending on the type of DBS receiver, the unit may not record a  
slight portion of the beginning of the program or may record  
slightly longer than the actual length of the program.  
If you engage the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode  
when the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start  
Automatic Satellite Program Recording even though AVB blinks on  
the front display panel. When the DBS receiver shuts off once  
and is turned back on again, the unit starts recording.  
You can also record a program from your cable system in the

information such as the timer counter for the playback start point  
and end point, indexes for checking the contents of recorded data,
