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.

Care And Handling Of Discs
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.
Label side
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.

NOTES:
● You can program this unit to timer record, regardless of the disc
remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, the
unit performs ARelief RecordingB (A pg. 48). To avoid this, make
sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer programming.
(Example) If you programmed 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 programming a
long program in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining
time is short, it is recommended to check 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 programmed 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.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on
the disc where the unit switches the mode.
