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.
3. Power Lines
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.
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.

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,

in the disc tray.
● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
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!
2 Place the disc.
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.
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
scratched or otherwise damaged.
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it
according to the inner groove.
CAUTION
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:

● 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).

* 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 Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
● 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 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 disc on the market may be played back in
the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
Operations for MP3 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.
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track
(file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

program or tape you’re viewing can be heard.
A. This is normal.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the still
mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to
protect the heads.
Q. When returning from search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. Noise bar appear during search. What’s the
problem?
A. This is normal.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the unit can’t
find the program I want to see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the
end of the recording before the pause is
overlapped by the beginning of the
continuation of recording. Why does this
happen?
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause
and resume points.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the Record-
Pause mode?
A. No. The unit goes to its Stop mode
automatically after 5 minutes to protect the
heads.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during
recording?
A. The unit stops recording, and “⅜” and “$” on
the front display panel won’t stop blinking.
