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 conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

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.

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.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload

wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

Before playing any discs with the PDV-20, we recommend using the Setup Navigator. This makes all the basic DVD system settings for you.

The Setup Navigator is also available on the PDV-LC20. Use it if you have connected an AV amplifier and/or TV to your player.

1 Make sure that the player is

switched on.

• If you’re using the PDV-20, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

• If a disc that’s already loaded starts to play, press 7 to stop it.

2 Press SETUP.

The Setup Navigator on-screen display (OSD) appears:
