ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent 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. (B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, 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 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 connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

INITIAL SETTINGS
This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the "host channel" and it is a PBS channel in your area.
Plug & Play Setting
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
ATTENTION
If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. ( pg.10 14) It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug & Play setting. Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.
1 Perform Plug & Play setup
NOTES:
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR ( pg. 6). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.
Auto Clock Set is performed first. "Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set. Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set. When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform the clock ( pg. 10) and tuner ( pg. 13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.

INFORMATION
If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" on the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours -- on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of "AUTO CLOCK" is "ON". If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR. Poor antenna or cable signal may prevent the VCR from receiving the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure.
9
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semiauto ( pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set ( pg. 12) procedure. If "- -:- -" appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug & Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform Manual Clock Set ( pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set ( pg. 13 or 14).
Last-Function Memory
When the AC is removed from the VCR or when the power failure occurs, your settings for the following functions are kept in memory. These settings will resume when the VCR is turned on again. a- Input Selection (channel or auxiliary input; L-1 or F-1) b- Recording tape speed ( pg. 19) c- "ON SCREEN (REC)" ( pg. 37, 38) d- "ON SCREEN (PLAY)" ( pg. 37, 39) e- "RETURN POINT" ( pg. 37, 41) f- "DAY/TIME INSERT" ( pg. 37, 41) g- "REC SAFETY" ( pg. 37, 41)

Playback Resume Function If there is a power outage during normal playback (or Series Playback), the playback will resume automatically when the power is restored to the VCR. (No setting is required for this function.) Video Calibration ( pg. 38) When this function is set to "ON", this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highestpossible pictures. Picture Control ( pg. 38) This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference. Video Stabilizer ( pg. 39) You can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another VCR.
The Digital TBC/NR (Time Base Corrector / Noise Reduction) function removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental tapes. The Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) function which cuts noise and reproduces clear pictures is also linked to this function. We recommend that you use the Digital TBC/NR function when... -- playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder. -- playing back a tape repeatedly used. -- using this VCR as the player for editing. Press DIGITAL TBC/NR on the front panel so that the DIGITAL TBC/NR lamp lights up. Each time you press the button, this function turns on and off.
NOTES:
If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may happen to become more stable with Digital TBC/NR activated. If you play back a tape on which certain types of signals (using a PC or some character generators) have been recorded with Digital TBC/NR activated, the playback picture may be distorted. In this case, deactivate Digital TBC/NR. Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer ( pg. 39) cannot be used at the same time; if you turn on Digital TBC/NR when "VIDEO STABILIZER" is set to "ON", Video Stabilizer will be automatically turned "OFF". Make sure Digital TBC/NR is deactivated when you want to use Video Stabilizer.
