some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70- 1984,
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 connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

Supplied cables used in this connection are as follows:
• RCA audio cable (L/R) x 1
• RCA video cable x 1
Please purchase the rest of the necessary cables at your local store.
Note for HDMI connection
• A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector
allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-video and other devices.
When connecting with an HDMI cable, the audio signal will be output as the digital audio signal simultaneously,
so you do not need the analog audio connection described above.
Note
• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the RCA audio/video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be
distorted due to the copy protection system.
• You will not be able to hear the sound being output from DVD if you are not connecting DVD AUDIO OUT when
you made either S-video or component video out connection.
To set progressive scan mode, refer to page 99
• This unit is compatible with the progressive scan system. The feature provides you with the higher quality images than the
traditional output system does. To utilize this feature, you must set “Progressive Scan” to “ON”.
Press [HDMI] to select the HDMI output mode. The output mode changes as follows every time [HDMI] is pressed.

For audio CD, video CD, and MP3 / Windows Media™ Audio files, 2 channel PCM will be output regardless of the

“Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting.
Refer to pages 101-102 for “HDMI” setting.
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the
display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital
content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication
of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device
(or AV amplifier) for more information.

Note
• When using HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however,
this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit
length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In
connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMIDVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.
• When you change the connections, all devices should be turned off.
• Refer to the manual accompanying external devices for more information.

Note
• It may take up to 5 to 7 seconds to switch the digital

• In digital TV broadcasting, 2 or more channels, called
minor channels, are simultaneously broadcast on one
main channel, called major channel.
About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
signal network.
