ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
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  
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.  
(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.  
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

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 ASide AB facing down, programs are recorded on the side A.

Care And Handling Of Discs  
Life Span Of Parts  
Cooling fan  
Periodical inspection and maintenance are requisite to maintain  
the initial performance and reliability of the product.  
We recommend the exchange of the fan motor every three years.  
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.  
HDD  
The HDD is a consumable part. Please arrange for maintenance  
after an estimated usage of 10,000 hours (this estimation is based  
on usage under the environment of 25f, it may differ depending  
on the usage environment).  
Label side  
Please consult your authorized dealer or nearest JVC service  
center on the maintenance and cost.  
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 or 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.

Resume Function  
It is possible to memorize the position where you stop playback  
and resume playback from that position.  
Be sure to set ARESUMEB to AONB or ADISC RESUMEB.  
(A pg. 59)  
Resume function always works for DVD-R/DVD-RW discs that  
have not been finalized and DVD-RAM regardless of the setting  
of ARESUMEB.  
During playback, press v.  
Each press initiates an approximately 30-second period of fast-  
motion playback. Normal playback resumes automatically.  
Skip search cannot be performed when a VCD/SVCD disc is  
being played back with the PBC function.  
Instant Replay  
1 Press o during playback to memorize a resume point.  
The unit enters Resume Stop mode and memorizes the  
position where you have stopped playback as a resume point.  
(The inside of the disc status indicator on the front display panel  
blinks while memorizing.)  
You can move back the playback position slightly.  
Press w on the remote control or INSTANT REPLAY on the unit.  
Each press skips back for approximately 7 seconds and resumes  
playback.  
Pressing while paused skips back for approximately 7 seconds  
and resumes pause.  
The unit retains a memory of the resume points of the last 30  
discs played back, even though they have been ejected if  
ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB. (A pg. 59)  
Performing the following steps would erase the resume points:

selecting an item, etc.  
• Press MENU to display the disc menu, then start playback by  
selecting an item, etc.  
Depending on the time from where you want to start jump search,  
the first press of S or T will not necessarily lead to a jump of  
the selected time interval. The first press will lead to a jump to the  
nearest quarter points of an hour (15 min/ 30 min/ 45 min/ 00  
min). The subsequent jumps will then be in accordance to the  
selected time interval.  
When you cannot advance any further (beginning or end of  
program reached), the message AUNABLE TO GO BACK ANY  
MOREB or AUNABLE TO GO FORWARD ANY MOREB appears  
on the screen. In such a case, press S, O, N, T or o.  
2 Press I in stop mode to resume playback. The unit starts  
playback from the resume point.  
NOTES:  
ADISC RESUMEB setting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD  
and already finalized DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) discs. For  
other types of discs, the function under AONB setting will be  
applied even if ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB.  
(A pg. 59)  
Example:  
If you stop the playback of a disc for which a resume point has  
already been memorized, the memory will be updated with the  
new resume point.  
After the unit has memorized the resume points for 30 discs,  
remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the  
oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for which a  
resume point is already stored may change the order in which the  
points are stored. This may potentially change the order in which  
points are deleted.  
Playback search when jump interval is set to 15 MIN jumps.  
Taking for instance, you want to start jump search 40 minutes after  
the beginning of the program. Pressing S or T will result in a  
jump to the scene at the 30 minutes point or 45 minutes point  
respectively as illustrated below. At the subsequent press, the  
scene will jump to the 15 minutes point or 1 hour point respectively,  
according to the selected time interval, which in this case is A15  
MINB.  
When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also  
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.  
This function may not work for some Video CD/SVCDs.  
When ARESUMEB is changed to AONB or AOFFB (A pg. 59),  
resume points of the discs memorized with ARESUMEB set to  
ADISC RESUMEB will be cleared.  
Resume points are memorized for each side of a double-sided  
disc.  
When you switch to HDD while playing back JPEG/MP3 files,  
playback stops. The Resume Function doesn’t work when you  
switch to DVD thereafter to playback the disc.
