Care And Handling Of Discs  
How to handle discs  
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.  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives  
on its surface.  
Recording side  
Make sure that discs are not scratched or dirty on the recording  
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc  
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a  
DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirty when removed from  
cartridge then put back in after use.  
Storage  
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 centre 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.  
CAUTION:  
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear 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.

case is A15 MINB.  
After the unit has memorised the resume points for 30 discs,  
remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the  
oldest memorised point. Stopping playback of a disc for which a  
resume point is already stored may change the order in which the  
points are stored. This may potentially change the order in which  
points are deleted.

NOTES:  
You can programme this unit to timer record, regardless of the  
disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough,  
the unit performs ARelief RecordingB (A pg. 49). To avoid this,  
make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer  
programming.  
(Example) If you programmed to timer record for 60 minutes in  
SP mode on a 120 minute disc, the disc remaining time would be  
30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in  
LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480  
mode. Timer recording will not complete beyond these remaining  
times.  
The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as  
the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a  
long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining  
time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time  
in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the  
programme.  
Even if more than one programme are timer programmed in FR  
(JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature  
may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on  
the disc where the unit switches the mode.

Weekly/Daily Recording  
You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily  
timer settings.  
VPS/PDC Recording  
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery  
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services  
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 video 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 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 AOFFB if PDC is not available on your selected channel.  
(See step 8 on page 47.)  
For the HDD deck  
When you select a mode other than ONCE, the space on the hard  
disk drive is saved for new recordings by overwriting previous  
recordings. To prevent loss of a needed recording, backup  
programmes you wish to save by dubbing them to DVD discs  
before overwriting previous recordings. Or save the title of weekly/  
daily programmes to avoid overwriting of a previous week/day.  
(A pg. 50)  
ONCE (One Time Recording)  
In this mode a programme will not be automatically overwritten.  
WEEKLY (OVERWRITE) (Weekly Recording/Weekly Overwrite)  
When the set weekly programme is broadcast, the programme  
recorded last week is automatically deleted and overwritten by  
the new programme. Save the title of each programme you  
wish to save, then the recorded programme is saved and will  
not be overwritten by the new programme.  
NOTES:  
Make sure to press VPS/PDCj after completing timer  
programming procedure to activate the VPS/PDC recording  
function. The VPS/PDC recording indicator lights up on the front  
display panel when VPS/PDC recording function is activated.  
However, it will blink rapidly when VPS/PDCj is pressed under  
the following conditions:  
This week’s drama

Clock is not set.  
Timer programming has not been set.  
Disc is not loaded.  
HDD is full.  
MON-SUN (FOR A WEEK)/ MON-SAT (FOR A WEEK)/  
MON-FRI (FOR A WEEK) (Daily Recording/Weekly Overwrite)  
When the set weekly programme is broadcast, the programme  
recorded on the same day last week is automatically deleted  
and overwritten by the new programme. Save the title of each  
programme you wish to save, then the recorded programme is  
saved and will not be overwritten by the new programme.  
When you use Manual 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.  
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.  
When timer recording via VPS/PDC recording is in progress, it is  
not possible to switch between the HDD and DVD deck, and the  
following menus cannot be displayed:

used. The programme will be recorded using the start and stop  
times originally programmed.  
MON-SUN (OVERWRITE)/ MON-SAT (OVERWRITE)/  
MON-FRI (OVERWRITE) (Daily Recording/Daily Overwrite)  
When the set daily programme is broadcast, yesterday’s

VIDEO on the remote control to set the unit to the AV mode.  
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 playback picture.
