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.
3. Power Lines
INSTALLATION
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.
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.
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.
5. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
● Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug
or other similar surface.
● Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.

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 dirt when removed from
cartridge then put back in after use.
Discs without cartridges
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.
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
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 the side A.
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.
Single-sided discs:
CAUTION:
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 label
side facing up.
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.

Watch Another Program While Recording On The Unit
While recording is going on, you can watch another program on
the TV by using the TV’s tuner.
NOTES:
NOTE:
● You can program this unit to timer record, regardless of the disc
remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough,
recording may stop in the middle of a program. To avoid this, make
sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer programming.
(Example) If you programmed to timer record for 60 minutes in SP
mode on a 120-minute 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 checking the disc remaining time in FR480 mode
to see if the remaining time is enough for the program.
It is required that the remote control is set to be able to operate the TV
in advance. (੬ pg. 66)

while the unit is stopped or recording is in progress. The list of disc
remaining times for all recording modes appears on the TV screen.
Second Audio Recording
This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel
TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND
AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. (੬ pg. 70)
NOTE:
When the channel is changed on the unit;
● The “MONO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if
the program is a monaural broadcast.

8 Aspect ratio
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of
wide-screens is 16:9.
8 Multiangle
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a
single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called
the multiangle function.
8 Chapter
8 Multichannel
DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound
field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having
three or more channels.
Refers to individual chapters included in a title.
8 Composite video signal
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique;
burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction; and
synchronization signal.
8 Multilanguage
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.
8 NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format used in the
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
8 Component video signal
A video signal system where parts of information necessary for
reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of
light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such
as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.
8 PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
8 Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD disc.
8 Parental Lock
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not
to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental
lock level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from
educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set
on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive
than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.
8 Dolby Digital (AC-3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left rear, right
rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-
woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain.
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
8 Playback control (PBC)
8 Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.
Refers to the signal recorded on Video CDs for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD that
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as
software having a search function.
8 DTS
8 Progressive scan
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1)
channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in
the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater
Systems.
Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at
one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced
video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a
progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical
resolution.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
8 Interlaced scan
8 Region Code
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display
monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places lines of
the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the
picture.
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions
designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are grouped
into six regions, each region being identified by a specified Region
Code (or region number). If the Region Code given to a disc
includes a numeral which matches one in the Region Code of a
player, the player can play back the disc.
8 JPEG
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint
Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in
image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
8 Sampling frequency
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many
times the original analog signal is sampled per second.
8 Letter box
A method of displaying wide images like movies in the centre of a
4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black
bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has resulted
from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.
8 Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
8 Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.
8 Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud
per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate
system for high efficiency.
8 MP3
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio
Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R/RW can contain about 10
times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
8 MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video
CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on
MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.
