Placing a Disc  
Care and Handling of Discs  
How to handle discs  
1 Open the disc tray.  
When handling a disc, do  
Press OPEN/CLOSE (x) on the DVD deck to open the  
disc tray.  
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.  
x
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive  
on its surface.  
Storage  
Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.  
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.  
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!  
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.  
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  
CAUTION  
scratched or otherwise damaged.  
To insert an 8 cm disc, place it  
according to the inner groove.  
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.  
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to  
industry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the  
malfunction of the unit.

INITIAL SETTINGS  
This unit 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 Set  
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. 22 – 25)  
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may  
not receive 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.  
A Perform Plug & Play setup.  
Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (pg. 12) Then  
connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn  
on the unit.

* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.  
INFORMATION  
If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (pg. 23), 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 unit 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”. (pg. 23)  
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 unit.  
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed  
adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set” (pg. 23)  
or “Manual Clock Set” (pg. 23).  
If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the unit 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 unit; 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. 23) and “Auto Channel Set” (pg. 24) or “Manual Channel Set” (pg. 25).

OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)  
NOTES:  
Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,  
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start  
playback.  
About MP3/WMA  
Disc  
The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.  
If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly  
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit  
recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.  
The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3/WMA disc in  
the alphabetical order.  
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and  
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then  
[two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.  
Therefore, an MP3/WMA disc on the market may be played  
back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.  
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3/WMA  
format (we refer to those discs as MP3/WMA discs in this  
manual).  
Operations for MP3/WMA discs are similar to those for Audio  
CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3.” MPEG  
Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio  
portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or  
Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about  
1/10.  
MP3/WMA control display  
The MP3/WMA control display appears on the TV screen and  
playback starts when an MP3/WMA disc is loaded.  
What is WMA?  
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio”, and is an  
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft  
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is  
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller  
than that of MP3.

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks  
per Group.  
If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops  
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the  
limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores  
any non-MP3/WMA file in the disc.  
NOTES for making a private MP3/WMA disc using a  
CD-R/CD-RW disc:

it will take a longer time to be displayed.)  
About JPEG Disc  
This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format  
(we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).  
Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD  
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.  
This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive  
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.  
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.  
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.  
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.  
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.  
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 (directory), the unit recognized them  
as belonging to an independent Group.  
What is JPEG?  
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group.”  
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.  
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which  
usually belongs to a Group (folder).  
The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the  
alphabetical order.  
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and  
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then  
[two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.  
Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in  
the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

* The default setting is bold in the table below.  
You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. You can  
play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of S-VHS recorders  
and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.  
(Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)  
When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the front  
display panel.

NOTES:  
You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a VHS cassette.  
Before recording, make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON”. (below)  
You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function:  
— while recording is in progress.  
— while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording (pg. 31, 34) is in progress.  
— while Video Calibration (pg. 33) is in progress.  
The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS cassettes.  
To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of time,  
S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.  
Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On some tapes, picture  
quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording quality  
before you start important recordings.  
While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some recorders, noise  
may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)  
In the variable speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback modes  
(pg. 27), noise may appear. If these modes are performed frequently on a tape recorded  
using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be  
deteriorated.  
When this function is set to “ON”, this unit checks the condition of the tape in use  
during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible  
pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after  
inserting a tape. (pg. 33)

end of the recording before the pause is  
overlapped by the beginning of the  
continuation of recording. Why does this  
happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause  
and resume points.  
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the Record-  
Pause mode?  
A. No. The unit goes to its Stop mode  
automatically after 5 minutes to protect the  
heads.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during  
recording?  
A. The unit stops recording, and “” and “$” on  
the front display panel won’t stop blinking.
