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.

TTENTION

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.

● 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.

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.

(

墌 pg. 41).

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.

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.

● Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is

Plug & Play Set

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

TTENTION

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

● 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.

墌 pg. 22 – 24)

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.

Perform Plug & Play setup.

A

Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌 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”
(

墌 pg. 22) and “Tuner Set” (墌 pg. 24). If, however, you want

to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”
(

墌 pg. 25).

During Initial Auto Clock Set

“AUTO” blinks.

* If an incorrect clock time or “–:– –” appears on the front display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.

During Auto Channel Set

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

The current time is displayed.

INFORMATION

● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (墌 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”. (

● 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” (
or “Manual Clock Set” (

● 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” (

墌 pg. 23).
