DVD VIDEO Marks
Before you play back a CD, check for the CD logo and read
the notes on the package to confirm that it conforms to the
Compact Disc specification.
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.
● Depending on the intentions of the author of the software,
recording conditions of DVD discs and Video CD discs may
be restricted. Since this unit plays back discs according to the
intentions of the author of the software as indicated on the
disc, some functions may not operate as commanded.
● When switching from the first layer to the second layer of
double-layered DVD VIDEO discs, the image and sound may
be momentarily distorted. This is not a malfunction.

Number of audio tracks
● 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.
Dolby Digital mark
Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital
surround system for the home. This mark
indicates that you may enjoy 5.1-channel
audio (front left and right, center, rear left and
right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects)).
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.
Care and Handling of Discs
DTS (Digital Theater System)
How to handle discs
You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector of the unit.
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.
File Structure of Discs
DVD VIDEO
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.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
Storage
Title1
Title2
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
Audio CD/Video CD
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the center outwards.
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.
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.
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
CAUTION
NOTE:
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
industry standards.)
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 a Video CD with PBC” (੬ pg. 31).
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.
Placing a Disc
1 Open the disc tray.
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
● 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.

highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You
can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference.

When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

screen appears.
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording.
With this system, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your unit and have precedence over the advertised
times you may have preset into the timer. This means that
your unit will start and stop recording when the preset TV
programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast
time of a preset TV programme is changed.
● Repeat steps B – G for each additional programme.
H Engage the unit’s timer mode.
Press #. The unit turns off automatically and “#”
appears on the front display panel.
● To disengage the timer mode, press # again.
NOTES:
● When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV
listing. A different time than advertised will result in no
recording.

serials (Monday — Friday). Either “WEEKLY” or “DAILY”
appears on the TV screen. Pressing the button again makes the
corresponding indication disappear.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/
DECODER connector on your unit.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT
connector.
● You can programme this unit to timer-record as many as 8
programmes. If you try to programme the unit to record a
ninth, “PROGRAM FULL” appears on the TV screen and
“FULL” appears on the front display panel. To record the extra
programme, you must first cancel any unnecessary
programmes. (੬ pg. 27)
● If there is a conflict in the timer schedule and one programme
overlaps with another, the programme starting earlier or
programme with the lower programme number will be
recorded.

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 Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the MP3 format (we
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
● 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
recognizes them as belonging to an independent Group.
● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 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 disc on the market may be played back in
different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
Operations for MP3 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.
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track
(file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

the maximum level if you are going to listen to the Hi-Fi audio
signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge in the input
level to the speakers may damage them.
● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to
prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded
type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this
can adversely affect the video playback picture.

● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another
video recorder, or when using this unit as the player for
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference.
● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after
a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated.

next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-
performed.
NOTES:
● If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may
not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to “ON”.
In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the
tape speed manually during timer programming.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
● Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does
not start Instant Timer Recording. (੬ pg. 22)
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point
on the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.
● The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work
properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes
of shorter lengths.
● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the
Auto SP]LP Timer activated, and the programme goes
beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times
when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

● If “DIRECT REC” is set to “OFF”, the 7 button functions as
described in “Basic Recording” (੬ pg. 21).
● During Direct Rec, “– –” appears on the front display panel.
● When “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON”, if you press any button
just after pressing 7 on the unit (or 7 and 4 on the remote
