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.

Placing a Disc  
Care and Handling of Discs  
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,  
dusty, scratched or warped,  
the images and sound will  
not be picked up correctly,  
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.

setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV  
broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the host  
channeland 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. (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. (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.  
AUTOblinks 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”  
(pg. 24) and Tuner Set(pg. 26). If, however, you want

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 failedbelow.  
INFORMATION  
If AUTO CLOCKis set to ON(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 CLOCKis ON. (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(pg. 25)  
or Manual Clock Set(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(pg. 25) and Auto Channel Set(pg. 26) or Manual Channel Set(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 writingdiscs.  
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).

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.)  
This unit supports the JPEG files whose resolution is 32 to  
8192 pixel in width and 32 to 7680 pixel in height.  
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.  
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.  
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 does not support packet writingdiscs.  
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.  
The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the  
alphabetical order.  
File A.jpg  
Group 1  
File B.jpg  
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
