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.

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

File Structure Of Discs
Region Number
DVD VIDEO
The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs.
DVD VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which
region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played back
on this unit unless the region number of the disc matches that of
the unit. The region number for this unit is “1”. Only discs whose
region number includes “1” or “ALL” can be played back such as
shown below.
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can
also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are
not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when
recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (੬ pg. 27)

Maintenance of discs
DVD-RAM discs contained in
cartridges
Double-sided discs:
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the centre outwards.
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 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.

● 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-programing.
(Example) If you programed 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-programing 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.
● Even if more than one program are timer-programed in FR (JUST)
mode, only the first one is recorded.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may
leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.

To record the entire program, the unit automatically set the

total time of the program to be recorded and either the remaining
disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480
minutes).
