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. 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 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.

Recording Medium and Format

DVD-RAM

Recording and erasing can be performed as many times as possible on a disc. Editing can be performed after recording, such as deleting unwanted parts. While recording, it is possible not only to start playback of a program currently being recorded, but also to watch another program previously recorded.

File Structure of Discs

DVD VIDEO
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 you record a program on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. ( pg. 38) When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes. DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R or DVD VIDEO disc Title 1

Marks related to audio

This unit can recognize up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files. Also, it can recognize up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc. Mark Description Number of audio tracks
Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC) The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. ( pg. 40) Regarding the contents recorded on discs Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other factors.
Dolby Digital mark It has been developed by Dolby Laboratories as a digital surround system. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the DIGITAL OUT connector of the unit.

Placing a Disc

Opening the disc tray Press x on the unit or Remote to open the disc tray.
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. Remote
Pressing the button on the unit or on the Remote again closes the disc tray. Use the buttons on the unit or on the Remote to open and close 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 on the disc tray. Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

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!

Discs without cartridges

Maintenance of discs

Y/ON 1 STANDB

Disc tray Place the disc on 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.
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.
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.
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges
Double-sided discs: Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with Side A facing down, programmes are recorded on the side A. Single-sided discs: Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.
To prevent accidental erasure of important recordings, slide the protect tab to the protect position using a ballpoint pen, etc. Release the protect tab to record, edit, or perform other operations.
