● 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

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.

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).

Precautions

About files and folders (groups) on the disc

● This unit can recognize up to 99 groups and up to 150 files per

group.

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-JPEG file in the disc.

● Add the appropriate extension, such as “jpeg” to the file

name.

● 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.)

Current group

For making your own disc:

● Use “UDF format” as the disc format for CD-R/RW.

● Use “ISO 9660” as the disc format for CD-R/RW.

● The unit does not support “packet writing” for CD-R/RW.

● The unit supports discs recorded with up to five multiple

sessions.

● Finalize the disc.

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.
