OUTSIDE ANTENNA, EQUIPMENT, AND POWER EXPOSURE
1. ENSURE SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the set, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up
static charges and voltage surges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code.
ANSI/NEPA No. 70-1984, 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:
See figure 1 for items a-d below.
a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) aluminum. No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) No. 17-AWG
(10mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters
house.
d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the
equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. See NEC
Section 810-21 (I).
2. ELIMINATE ANTENNA PROXIMITY TO HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SOURCES OR
CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY INSTALLER
An outside antenna system should be located where it will never be reached by
power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never contact these
power sources if it falls. Installer should use extreme care to avoid possible fatal
contact by touching power lines, circuits or other power sources when installing
outside antenna.
Lightning–For added protection for this set 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 set due to
lightning and power-line surges.

Note:
That the Pause function will be released after 5 minutes to prevent damage to the tape or
the VCR and the STOP mode will be entered automatically.
NOTE:
Since the VCR has its own TV tuner, it is not necessary to turn on the TV in order to make a
recording.
Turning on the TV merely allows confirmation of proper channel settings on your VCR.

The Programmable Timer Recording function allows you to record up to 8 different programs as
long as one year in advance. Once you have set the time for timer programming, VCR will record
automatically at the time you have preset.
There are four program modes:
One time : Record a program on any day you choose within one month (One Time Recording of
a single program)
Weekday : Record a program from Monday to Friday at the same time as you have preset
(MON-FRI).
Daily : Record a program from Monday to Saturday at the same time as you have preset
(MON-SAT).
Weekly : Record a program at the same time once a week.
Before setting your VCR to record a programme in advance make sure that the following
have been checked:
•The VCR is set to the VCR mode. Press the TV/VCR button and ensure that the VCR indicator
appears on the Display Panel.
•The clock is set to the correct current time.
•The safety tab is not missing from the cassette.
•The tape is long enough to record the desired programme.
EXAMPLE
For the purpose of this example we are assuming that the current time is 10:00 on 15 May 2000
and that we wish to record 20, May from 10:30 to 11:30 and the programme we wish to record is
on TV Channel 6.
NOTE:
If the Programming mode is selected when current time has not been set on the Clock, "Clock
must be set first" will appear on screen.
Preset contents can be corrected by using CLEAR key on the remote control.
