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.

• Install the unit in a horizontal and stable position. Do
not place anything directly on top of the unit. Do not
place the unit directly on top of the TV.
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
devices of intense heat. Avoid dusty or humid places.
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes on
the sides of the unit. Avoid locations subject to strong
vibration or strong magnetic fields.

Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD
discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM
recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for
higher video resolution or extended recording time on
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording
will play back on all DVD-video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with
actual recordable DVD discs.
This unit not only plays back the contents on internal HDD, DVD, or CD, but also offers features for you to record on HDD or DVD
and edit them after that.
The following features are offered with this unit.
Recording
This unit allows you to record on the HDD, a DVD+RW/RW (rewritable) and a DVD+R/-R (one-time write). You can

DVD+VR mode.
Up to 36 program recording:
You can program the unit to record up to 36 programs within
a one-month period. Daily or weekly program recordings are
also available.
One-touch timer recording (OTR):

will be increased by 30 minutes up to 6 hours. The recording automatically stops when the recording time you set is
reached or the disc is full.
Automatic chapter mark setting:
Chapter marks will be put on recordings as you set before
attempting to record.
Automatic title list making:
The unit makes a title list with the index automatically.

the material is “copy-once” program and prohibited to be
recorded on a DVD, the unit will detect it and automatically
record to the HDD even when DVD is selected as the recording media.
This feature is available only for timer recording. Not available for one-touch timer recording.
Dubbing
With this unit, you can enjoy bi-directional dubbing between
HDD and DVD.
High speed dubbing (HDD ➔ DVD only):

1) Disconnect the power cords of the devices from the AC outlet.
2) Make the connection as illustrated below.
3) Set your RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever the TV channel is least used in your area.
If your RF modulator has a modulator/antenna switch, set it according to the manual supplied with the RF
modulator.
4) Plug in the power cords of the devices to the AC outlet.
5) Turn on your TV and choose the same channel as you set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to.

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.
To set progressive scan mode, refer to page 110
• 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.

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.
*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
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.

Optical cable (commercially available)
• Optical cable (commercially available) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in
loops with a diameter of 6 inches (15cm) or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 9.8 feet (3m) or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
Note
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital multi channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound
by an MD or DAT deck.
• By connecting this unit to a Dolby Digital decoder, you can enjoy high-quality Dolby Digital multi channel
surround sound as heard in the movie theaters.
• Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion and may also damage the speakers.
After you have completed all the connections, you must find the viewing channel (external input channel) on your TV.
