DISC INFORMATION  
Region Number  
About Discs  
The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs. DVD  
VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which  
region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played  
back on your unit unless the region number of the disc matches  
the one on the rear of your unit. The region number for your unit  
is as follows:  
Playable Discs  
You can use discs with the following logos for playback only.  
DVD VIDEO  
Video CD/Super Video CD  
HR-XV38SAG: “3”

Examples of DVD VIDEO labels which can be played back with  
HR-XV38SAS.  
The following discs also can be played back.  
• DVD-R/-RW discs recorded in DVD VIDEO format and  
finalized.  
• CD-R/RW discs recorded in Video CD, SVCD (Super Video  
CD), or Audio CD format and finalized.  
• CD-R/RW discs written in MP3 or JPEG in accordance with  
the “ISO 9660” format. (See page 42 for details.)  
This unit can also play back audio signals recorded in MIX-  
MODE CD, CD-G, CD-EXTRA, and CD TEXT.  
The image may be sometimes poor or noisy due to defects in  
the disc itself.  
DVD VIDEO Marks  
Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its  
packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and  
functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and  
functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may  
not include a mark even for a function it supports.  
With some discs, operations may not be possible.

File Structure of Discs  
Care and Handling of Discs  
DVD VIDEO  
How to handle discs  
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called  
“titles.” Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to  
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called  
“chapters.” Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that  
can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs  
are not divided into titles and chapters.  
When handling a disc, do not  
touch the surface of the disc.  
Since discs are made of  
plastic, they are easily  
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,  
dusty, scratched or warped,  
the images and sound will not  
be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
Title1  
Title2  
Chapter 2  
Chapter 3  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 2  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive  
on its surface.  
Storage  
Audio CD/Video CD  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on  
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be  
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be  
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or  
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!  
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each  
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For  
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video  
CD discs.  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
Maintenance of discs  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering  
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving  
from the center outwards.  
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a  
cloth moistened with water. Never use  
record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-  
static agents.  
NOTE:  
Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)  
The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is  
called a “scene.” Each scene has a scene number.  
For more details, refer to “Locating a Desired Scene Using the  
Menu of the Video CD with Playback Control (PBC) Function”  
(pg. 34).  
CAUTION  
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.  
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to  
industry standards.)  
Placing a Disc  
1 Open the disc tray.  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the  
malfunction of the unit.  
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.  
The unit’s power comes on  
automatically.  
Do not block the disc tray with  
your hand while it is opening or  
closing as this may result in  
hardware failure.  
Do not place unplayable discs or  
any object other than a disc in  
the disc tray.  
Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy  
objects on it.  
2 Place the disc.  
Place the disc in the disc tray with  
the label side facing up.  
Since disc size changes depending on  
the disc to be played back, be sure to  
correctly align the disc with the  
grooves for its size. If the disc is not in  
its groove, it may be scratched or  
otherwise damaged.  
To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.  
3 Press x on the DVD deck to close the disc tray.  
Pressing 4 also closes the disc tray.  
Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is  
loaded. Although the VHS deck is selected, the DVD deck is  
selected automatically (except when the VHS deck is in the  
timer mode or the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording  
mode.)

Pause mode.  
B Press 4 to start recording.  
If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording  
immediately, set B.E.S.T.to OFF. (pg. 54)

Elapsed playing time is only shown during playback.  
For JPEG files:  
This unit supports the JPEG files whose resolution is 32 to  
8192 pixel in width and 32 to 7680 pixel in height.  
We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a  
file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480,  
it will take a longer time to be displayed.)  
NOTES:  
Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,  
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start  
playback.  
The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.  
If there are any files which are stored on a disc directly and do  
not belong to any group, the unit recognized them as  
belonging to an independent group.  
The unit plays back groups/files on a disc in the alphabetical  
order. Therefore, playback order may be different from the  
order recorded on a disc.  
Be sure to set “FILE TYPE” correctly when playing back a disc  
which contains both MP3 and JPEG files. (pg. 57)
