When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make
sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)
Some Do’s And Don’ts On
The Safe Use Of Equipment
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to
obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the unit —
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to
use the equipment.
— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the
mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made
and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug
when making or changing connections.
— in direct sunlight.
— in a dusty environment.
— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are
generated.
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit
or remote control.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in
any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the
mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it
is designed for unattended operation or has a
standby mode. Switch off using the switch on
the equipment and make sure that your family
knows how to do this. Special arrangements may
need to be made for infirm or handicapped
people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios
so that you are distracted from the requirements
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television
whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use
can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the
life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws — to ensure complete safety
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or
legs with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it
from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass
filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum
will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation
may occur, keep the unit turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.
ATTENTION
To mobile phone users:
Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the unit may cause
picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a
blue back display.
On placing the unit:
Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic fields.
Do not place such appliances on top of the unit as it may cause
picture disturbance.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain
or moisture.
ABOVE ALL...
— NEVER let anyone especially children push
anything into holes, slots or any other opening in
the case — this could result in a fatal electrical
shock;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe
than sorry!

DISC INFORMATION (cont.)
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 a Video CD/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC)
Function” (੬ pg. 31).
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.)

PDC Recording
Press PROG or ENTER. “PROGRAM COMPLETED”

normal screen appears.
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) is a 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 which 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is currently
available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except
from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC
service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this
service in due course. Check your TV programme listing
guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to
record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start
recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to
“OFF” if PDC is not available on your selected channel.

time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A
different time than advertised will result in no recording.

system to “ON” or “OFF.” (੬ pg. 23)
NOTES:
For Example:
● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON,” it
is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as
well.
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-

Approximately 60 minutes
LP mode
Total 210 minutes
● 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.
It does not work during recording.
Make sure you set this function to “ON,” before the timer-
recording starts.
● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording is in progress. (੬ pg. 28)
● In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works
before recording is initiated.
● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The
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 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.

SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed
tapes containing a lot of noise.
NOTES:
● When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT,” the selected mode will not
change until you select another mode.
● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select
“AUTO” after you finish dubbing the tapes.
● When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches
