ANTENNA INSTALLATION 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.
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.
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.
2. Lightning
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.
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.
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.
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.

How to handle discs
1 Open the disc tray.
When handling a disc, do
Press OPEN/CLOSE (x) on the DVD deck to open the
disc tray.
not touch the surface of the
disc. Since discs are made
of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,

and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.
x
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
Storage
● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.
● Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening
or closing as this may result in hardware failure.
● Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc
in the disc tray.
● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
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 center 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.
2 Place the disc.
Place the disc in 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
CAUTION
scratched or otherwise damaged.
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it
according to the inner groove.
Sometimes during playback, noise 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.

INITIAL SETTINGS
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 can be 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.
Plug & Play Set
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
ATTENTION
● If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the
clock and tuner channels separately. (੬ pg. 24 – 27)
● 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.
A Perform Plug & Play setup.
Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (੬ pg. 14) Then
connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn
on the unit.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.
NOTES:
● Auto Clock Set is performed first.
“AUTO” 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
scanned and set.
● When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play
setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set”
(੬ pg. 24) and “Tuner Set” (੬ pg. 26). If, however, you want
to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”
(੬ pg. 27).
During Initial Auto Clock Set
“AUTO” blinks.
During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed as they are
scanned and set.
Plug&Play Completed
The current time is displayed.
* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.
INFORMATION
● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (੬ pg. 25), the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except
11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock
adjustment can only be performed when the unit is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time
displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (੬ pg. 25)
● 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.
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” (੬ pg. 25)
or “Manual Clock Set” (੬ pg. 25).
● If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the unit or there may not be a 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” (੬ pg. 25) and “Auto Channel Set” (੬ pg. 26) or “Manual Channel Set” (੬ pg. 27).

OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)
NOTES:
● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
About MP3/WMA
Disc
● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
● If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit
recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.
● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3/WMA disc in
the alphabetical order.
● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then
[two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.
● Therefore, an MP3/WMA disc on the market may be played
back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3/WMA
format (we refer to those discs as MP3/WMA discs in this
manual).
Operations for MP3/WMA discs are similar to those for Audio
CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3.” MPEG
Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio
portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or
Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about
1/10.
MP3/WMA control display
The MP3/WMA control display appears on the TV screen and
playback starts when an MP3/WMA disc is loaded.
What is WMA?
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio”, and is an
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller
than that of MP3.

If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the
limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores
any non-MP3/WMA file in the disc.
NOTES for making a private MP3/WMA disc using a
CD-R/CD-RW disc:
● Select “ISO9660” as the disc format.
● Finalize the disc.

NOTES:
● We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a
file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480,
it will take a longer time to be displayed.)
About JPEG Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format
(we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).
Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
● This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.
● Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
● If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do
not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them
as belonging to an independent Group.
What is JPEG?
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group.”
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which
usually belongs to a Group (folder).
● The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the
alphabetical order.
● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then
[two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.
● Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in
the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. You can
play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of S-VHS recorders
and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.
(Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)
When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the front

NOTES:
● You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a VHS cassette.
● Before recording, make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON”. (੬ below)
● You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function:
— while recording is in progress.
— while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording (੬ pg. 33, 36) is in progress.
— while Video Calibration (੬ pg. 35) is in progress.
● The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS cassettes.
● To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of time,
S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.
● Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On some tapes, picture
quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording quality
before you start important recordings.
● While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some recorders, noise
may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)
● In the variable speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback modes
(੬ pg. 29), noise may appear. If these modes are performed frequently on a tape recorded
using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be
deteriorated.
When this function is set to “ON”, this unit checks the condition of the tape in use
during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible
pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after
inserting a tape. (੬ pg. 35)
