some protectlon against voltage surges and built-
up static charges. Article 810 of the Natlonal
Electrical Code, ANSl/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, locatlon of antenna-

A CD-RIRW disc onto whtch has been recorded using the digltal Input cannot be further digitally recorded (I.% coped1 onto a
separate CD-R/RW disc or MD, etc.. This ISa standard establlshed by the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). After the recording of a CD-R disc IS completed, finallzatlon
processing IS required to enable It to be played on an ordinary
CD player.
* Fiecordlng in the Synchro-recording mode (e.g.. disc Synchro-recording. track Synchro-recording. and auto finallzatlon recording)
results in the track numbers being automatIcally assoc!ated. The manner in which the track numbers are assoaated will differ as
follows for digital recording and for analog recording depending on the condltlons
