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.  
2. Lightning  
ATTENTION:  
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.  
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.  
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  
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 and 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 dirt 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.

Plug & Play Set  
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set  
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 channeland it is a PBS channel  
in your area.  
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. 22) and  
Tuner Set(pg. 23). If, however, you want to add or delete  
channels, refer to Manual Channel Set(pg. 23).  
ATTENTION:  
If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock  
and tuner channels separately. (pg. 22 23)  
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.

During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed and AUTOblinks as they

INFORMATION  
If AUTO CLOCKis set to ON(pg. 22), 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. 22)  
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(pg. 20).  
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. 22) or  
Manual Clock Set(pg. 22).  
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. 22) and Auto Channel Set”  
(pg. 23) or Manual Channel Set(pg. 23).

NOTES:  
Still Picture/Frame-By-Frame Playback  
DISC RESUMEsetting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD and  
already finalized DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) discs. For other  
types of discs, the function under ONsetting will be applied even if  
RESUMEis set to DISC RESUME. (pg. 68)  
If you stop the playback of a disc for which a resume point has  
already been memorized, the memory will be updated with the new  
resume point.  
After the unit has memorized the resume points for 30 discs,  
remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the  
oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for which a  
resume point is already stored may change the order in which the  
points are stored. This may potentially change the order in which  
points are deleted.  
1 Press 9 to pause during playback.  
2 Press SLOW (3) or SLOW + (5) to activate frame-by-  
frame playback.  
Each press of SLOW (3) or SLOW + (5) advances/reverses  
the still picture frame by frame.  
Frame-by-frame playback for reverse direction cannot be performed  
with Video CD/SVCD discs.  
To resume normal playback, press 4.  
When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also  
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.  
This function may not work for some Video CD/SVCDs.  
When RESUMEis changed to ONor OFF(pg. 68), resume  
points of the discs memorized with RESUMEset to DISC  
RESUMEwill be cleared.  
Slow Motion  
Resume points are memorized for each side of a double-sided disc.  
When you switch to HDD during playing back CD, playback stops.  
The Resume Function doesnt work, when you switch to DVD after  
that to playback the disc.  
1 Press 9 to pause during playback.  
2 Press SLOW (3) or SLOW + (5) for 2 or more seconds.  
Each press of SLOW (3) or SLOW + (5) increases the slow  
motion speed for each direction (from 1/16 to 1/2 times the normal  
speed).  
Marking Positions To Play Back Again Later  
Slow motion for reverse direction cannot be performed with Video  
CD/SVCD discs.  
Skip Search  
It is possible to mark positions (up to 999 points) where you want to  
play back once again later, and start playback from a marked  
position. Marking onto DVD-RAM/RW/R discs when recording is  
helpful to locate a start point when you play back the discs later.

Each press initiates an approximately 30-second period of fast-  
motion playback. Normal playback resumes automatically.

The unit enters Resume Stop mode and memorizes the position  
where you have stopped playback as a resume point. (The inside of  
the disc status indicator on the front display panel blinks while  
memorising.)  
NOTES:  
When a monaural program changes to a stereo program while  
recording, a mark signal is automatically recorded.  
When a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc is finalized, marked points  
marked before finalizing will be deleted, and programs will be divided  
automatically into chaptersapproximately every 5 minutes.  
(pg. 72)  
The unit retains a memory of the resume points of the last 30 discs  
played back, even though they have been ejected if RESUMEis set

Basic Recording  
It is recommended to format a DVD-RAM disc before use if you use  
the disc on this unit for the first time.  
When using a brand-new DVD-RW disc, format the disc either in VR  
mode or in Video mode. (pg. 71)  
Recordings made on DVD-R/RW disc must be finalized to play back  
on other DVD players. Perform “Finalize A Disc (DVD Deck Only)”

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 Relief Recording(pg. 48). 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.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the  
disc where the unit switches the mode.  
Free Rate Function
