3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the apparatus and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be

followed.

5. CLEANING - Unplug this apparatus from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do

not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION: An apparatus that is meant for uninterrupted service and,

that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an

authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged

by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference

to unplugging the apparatus in the cleaning description otherwise

required in item 5.

6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the

apparatus manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this apparatus near water, for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet

basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this apparatus on an unstable

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The apparatus may fall,

causing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to

the apparatus. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. Any mounting of the apparatus should follow

the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory

recommended by the manufacturer. An apparatus and cart combination

should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the apparatus and cart combination to overturn.

AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé que sur un meuble (avec

ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’installez sur

un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux ensembles avec précaution.

Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive et des surfaces

irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the apparatus and

to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

The openings should never be blocked by placing the apparatus on a bed, sofa,

carpet, rug, or other similar surface. This apparatus should never be placed near

or over a radiator or heat register. This apparatus should not be placed 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.

10. POWER SOURCES - This apparatus should be operated 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 apparatus dealer

or local power company. For the apparatus’s intended to operate from

battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This apparatus is 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.

12. 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

apparatus.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the apparatus, 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 No. 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. (Fig. A)

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this apparatus receiver 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 apparatus due to lightning

and power-line surges.

15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of 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.

16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as

this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into this

apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never

spill liquid of any kind on the apparatus.

18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this apparatus yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or

other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation.

e. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in performance, this

indicates a need for service.

• The HDMI mode that is not supported by display

device will be skipped.

*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

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

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate

properly with this unit.

• When using an 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 HDMI-

DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur.

Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Channel Selection

Enter the major and minor channel number with [the

Number buttons] to select a channel you want to watch.

For 1-digit number

e.g.) 2-2 ch:

major channel [0] + [2] or [2] + [•]

minor channel [0] + [2], [2] + [•] or

[2] + leave it for 2 seconds.

For 2-digit number

e.g.) 35-16ch:

major channel [3] + [5]

minor channel [1] + [6]

• If you enter 1 digit for major channel and leave it for 2

seconds, the number will be taken as the major channel

and lowest minor channel of the major channel will be

displayed.

• If there is no minor channel input, lowest minor channel

of the major channel will be displayed.

Note

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

TV channels.

• 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

single network.

time becomes longer.

• Each time [REC MODE] is pressed, recording mode and

its allowed recording time will be displayed.

• Following discs are recommended for good recording

quality and are proven to be compatible with this unit.

However, depending on the media condition the unit

may not read the disc properly.

Performance of any other discs are not guaranteed.

• You can play back DVD+RW on most DVD players

without finalizing. However, if you have added or

deleted chapters, or made chapters hidden, you

must perform “Make Edits Compatible” before being

able to see those effects on other units. (Refer to

page 80 for more details.) To play back discs other

than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need

to finalize.

Note

• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.

• All high definition pictures will be down converted to

• DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R recorded on

a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may

not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or

if there is condensation on the player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even

if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be

played back because of the settings of the

application software used to create the disc. (Check

with the software publisher for more detailed

information.)

• Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit

rate) method, depending on the picture you are

recording, the actual remaining time for recording

may be a little shorter than the remaining time

displayed on the TV screen.

• You cannot record copy-protected program using

this unit. (Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-

video or some satellite broadcasts.)

• You cannot record “copy-once only” program on

DVD.
