● 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.  
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.  
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
ATTENTION  
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your

this product and keep this booklet for future reference.  
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.

DISC INFORMATION (cont.)  
File Structure of Discs  
Care and Handling of Discs  
DVD VIDEO  
How to handle discs  
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 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.  
Title 1  
Title 2  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 2  
Chapter 3  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive  
on its surface.  
Audio CD/Video CD  
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each  
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For  
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video  
CD discs.  
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!  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
NOTE:  
Maintenance of discs  
Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)  
The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is  
called a “scene.” Each scene has a scene number.  
For more details, refer to “Locating a Desired Scene Using the  
Menu of the Video CD with Playback Control (PBC) Function”  
(੬ pg. 41).  
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.  
Placing a Disc  
1 Open the disc tray.  
Press x OPEN/CLOSE on  
the DVD deck to open the  
disc tray.  
● The unit’s power comes on  
automatically.  
● 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.  
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  
scratched or otherwise damaged.  
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.  
3 Press x OPEN/CLOSE on the DVD deck to close  
the disc tray.  
● Pressing 4 PLAY also closes the disc tray.

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. 22 – 24)  
● 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. 13) 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. 22) and “Tuner Set” (੬ pg. 24). If, however, you want  
to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”  
(੬ pg. 25).  
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. 23), 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. 23)  
● 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. 23)  
or “Manual Clock Set” (੬ pg. 23).  
● 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. 23) and “Auto Channel Set” (੬ pg. 24) or “Manual Channel Set” (੬ pg. 25).

ATTENTION  
● Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program  
is executed; otherwise, the unit will start recording when  
the DBS receiver’s power is turned on.  
Satellite Auto  
Recording  
● If you have connected another appliance other than a DBS  
receiver to the AUDIO/VIDEO input (F-1) connector, be  
sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode;  
otherwise, the unit will start recording when the connected  
appliance’s power is turned on.  
● Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be  
done at the same time.  
This function allows you to automatically record a  
satellite program which is timer-programed on your  
external DBS receiver. Connect a DBS receiver to the  
unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO input (F-1) connector and program  
the timer on the DBS receiver. The unit starts or stops  
recording by the signals input from the DBS receiver.  
After recording, the unit’s power shuts off automatically.  
● You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.  
Before performing the following steps:  
● Make sure the DBS receiver is connected to the unit’s  
AUDIO/VIDEO input (F-1) connector.  
● Program the timer on the DBS receiver.  
● Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.  
● Slide the TV/VCR/DVD switch to the right.

is in progress.  
● To disengage the Satellite Auto Recording mode, press REC LINK. The “N” indicator goes off.  
● If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode.  
● In step C, if the “N” indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your DBS receiver’s power is off, Satellite Auto  
Recording will not work properly with that DBS receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” (੬ pg. 34) to  
timer-record a satellite program.  
* Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.  
● The “N” indicator blinks while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.  
● For timer programing of the DBS receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the DBS receiver.  
● Satellite Auto Recording is not possible if your DBS receiver does not have a timer.  
● Pressing the unit’s POWER button while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages the Satellite  
Auto Recording mode.  
● If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record with Satellite Auto Recording, it is not possible to set different tape  
speeds for each program.  
● Depending on the type of DBS receiver, the unit may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the program or may record  
slightly longer than the actual length of the program.  
● If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode when the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start Satellite Auto Recording  
even though the “N” and “#” indicators blink. When the DBS receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the unit starts  
recording.  
● You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.

If a disc includes more than the files above limit, the unit stops  
detecting files when the number of detected files reaches the  
limit and ignores the subsequent files. The unit also ignores  
any non-MP3/JPEG file in the disc.

For JPEG files:  
● This unit supports the JPEG files whose resolution is 32 to  
8192 pixel in width and 32 to 7680 pixel in height.  
● 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.)  
NOTES:  
● 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, the unit recognized them as  
belonging to an independent group.  
● The unit plays back groups/files on a disc in the alphabetical  
order. Therefore, playback order may be different from the  
order recorded on a disc.  
● Be sure to set “FILE TYPE” correctly when playing back a disc  
which contains both MP3 and JPEG files. (੬ pg. 62)
