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.

DISC INFORMATION

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.

applied even if ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB.

(A pg. 61)

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.

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. 61),

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.
