this appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operating
condition.
17.Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outside antenna is
connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna 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 respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure.

Examples of TV screen display of each video format
When your TV is switchable between PAL/
NTSC
Try play a disc. If the picture is black and white or as shown on the right,
stop playback and switch the screen display formats of this unit and the
TV to another format. This will improve the played picture quality.
When your TV is compatible only with the
PAL format
With certain discs, the playback picture may have black spaces above
and below it (as shown on the right).
This is because the disc has been
recorded in the NTSC format. The
screen may be somewhat hard to
see but this is not malfunction.
When your TV is compatible only with the
NTSC format
With certain discs, the playback picture may be cut above and below it
(as shown on the right). This is because the disc has been recorded in
the PAL format. The screen may be
