Placing a Disc

1 Open the disc tray.

Press OPEN/CLOSE (x) on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

●Pressing the button again closes 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 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.

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 adhesive on its surface.

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 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.

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise 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

ATTENTION

●If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. ( pg. 24 – 27)

●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.

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.

A Perform Plug & Play setup.

Connect the antenna cable to the unit. ( pg. 14) 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” ( pg. 24) and “Tuner Set” ( pg. 26). If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”

( pg. 27).

	scanned and set.

* 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” ( pg. 25), 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”. ( pg. 25)

●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. 25) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 25).

●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. 25) and “Auto Channel Set” ( pg. 26) or “Manual Channel Set” ( pg. 27).
