IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

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. 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.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

Disc tray

Label side facing up

W R

/ M A

T I

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.

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, programs are recorded on 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.

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 dirty 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!

DISC INFORMATION

EN 11

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 are 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.

ATTENTION:

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

EN 17

1 Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (A pg. 16) 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.

● ALOADINGB blinks on the front display panel when the AC plug

of the power cord is connected into an AC outlet and it takes approximately 30 seconds for the unit to be turned on. This is not a malfunction.

NOTES:

● Auto Clock Set is performed first. AAUTOB 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 completed successfully, the

correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform ACLOCK SETB (A pg. 19) and ATUNER SETB (A pg. 20). If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to AMANUAL CH SETB (A pg. 20).

During Auto Clock Set

AAUTOB blinks.

INFORMATION

● If AAUTO CLOCKB is set to AONB (A pg. 19) the clock will be

adjusted automatically by the host channel using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the unit is turned off.)

● 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” (A pg. 19) or “Manual Clock Set” (A pg. 19).

● If A- - : - -B 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” (A pg. 19) and “Auto Channel Set” (A pg. 20) or “Manual Channel Set” (A pg. 20).

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed and AAUTOB blinks as they are scanned and set.

Plug & Play Completed

The current time is displayed.

● If an incorrect clock time or A- - : - -B appears on the front

display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” on the left column.

B: 2nd C: 3rd D: 4th E: Blank (20 min.)

NOTES:

● You can program this unit to timer record, regardless of the disc

remaining time. If the disc remaining time is not enough, it is not possible to record until the end of the timer program. To avoid this, confirm the disc remaining time before setting timer programming. (Example) If you programmed to timer record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120 minutes 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 programming a long program in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended to check 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 programmed 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.

VCR Plus+ Timer Programming

You can program this unit to timer record as many as 8 programs. With the VCR Plus+ system, timer programming is greatly simplified because each TV program has a corresponding code number which your unit is able to recognize. You can use the remote control to enter the PlusCode number.

TIMER RECORDING

Automatic Satellite Program Recording

This function allows you to automatically record a satellite program which is timer programmed on your external DBS receiver. Connect a DBS receiver to the unit’s [S-VIDEO/VIDEO/AUDIO INPUT L-1] connectors 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.

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.

● If you have connected another appliance other than a DBS

receiver to the [S-VIDEO/VIDEO/AUDIO INPUT L-1] connectors, be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode. Otherwise, the unit will start recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned on.

● Automatic Satellite Program Recording and timer recording

cannot be done at the same time.

REC LINK

REC MODE

● Make sure the DBS receiver is connected to the unit’s

[S-VIDEO/VIDEO/AUDIO INPUT L-1] connectors.

● Program the timer on the DBS receiver.

1 Press REC MODE repeatedly to set the recording mode. 2 Press and hold REC LINK for about 2 seconds to engage the

Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode. AVB and AR-LKB light up on the front display panel.

NOTES:

● To disengage the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode,

press REC LINK.

● If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Automatic

Satellite Program Recording mode.

● In step 2, if AVB blinks quickly on the front display panel even

though your DBS receiver’s power is off, Automatic Satellite Program Recording will not work properly with that DBS receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Manual Timer Programming” (A pg. 38) to timer record a satellite program.

* Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Automatic

Satellite Program Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.

AVB blinks on the front display panel while Automatic Satellite

●

Program Recording is in progress.

● For timer programming of the DBS receiver, refer to the

instruction manual of the DBS receiver.

● Automatic Satellite Program Recording is not possible if your

DBS receiver does not have a timer.

● Pressing the unit’s A button while Automatic Satellite Program

Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode.

● If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record

with Automatic Satellite Program Recording, it is not possible to set different recording modes 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 Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode

when the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start Automatic Satellite Program Recording even though AVB blinks on the front display panel. 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.

● When the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode is

engaged, or the unit’s power is turned off after Automatic Satellite Program Recording is finished, the unit will not enter the timer mode even though AAUTO TIMERB is set to AONB (A pg. 60).

Changing VCR Plus+ Setting

The VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide channel number to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the guide channel numbers assigned to each station. To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel for each station. If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station’s channel number has been changed, perform the steps on the right column to set the correct guide channel number.

NOTES:

● In many instances, the VCR Plus+ guide channel numbers for

cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on which it is received by your unit. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

● Many TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing,

or contact your cable supplier for details.

● Turn on the unit.
