13.Outdoor Antenna gi'ounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TVNCR, 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)

specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other
hazards.

15.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.

21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine that the TVNCR is in
proper operating condition.
22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

16.Overloading-D0

• Press POWER button to turn on the TV/VCR to set
the Auto Clock to ON.

Press MENU button repeatedly until the TV/VCR returns to the TV mode.
5 Turn off the TV/VCR

• Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.
• The cable converter box must be turned on if your
TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)
• You must use the remote control for the following
steps.
NOTES:

• Auto clock setting only has to be done one time. You
may set the clock only if the clock's time has become
incorrect for some reason.
• If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box, the local PBS station must be selected on
the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to
the output channel of the cable converter box (usually
channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the
clock automatically.
The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the cable converter box.

Press POWER button to turn off the TV/VCR for searching the local PBS station. The power must remain off
during this search.
If you enter the channel number manually,
• It may take a few minutes for this search to be completed.
If you choose [A UT01,
• The TV/VCR must search through all the available
channels one by one, starting with the lowest numbered channel. It must scan each channel for a couple
of minutes to determine if that channel is transmitting
the XDS signal, because the PBS station will send
this signal only once every minute. This search could
take up to 2 hours if the local PBS station is on a high
numbered channel in your area or on your cable system. You may want to start this channel search at
night when the unit is not in use.
If the time that is automatically set by this selected
PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS
station, but one from a different time zone. Or there
is a possibility that no channel in your area is broadcasting the XDS signal, as evidenced by no time being set even after an overnight search. In these cases,
you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set the clock manually and turn off the Auto
Clock Setting feature.
