Precautions (cont’d)  
Maintenance  
SERVICING  
• Please refer to relevant topics on Troubleshooting on pages 78-81 before returning the product.  
• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-  
serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned  
on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.  
CLEANING THE CABINET  
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing  
alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.  
CLEANING DISCS  
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do  
not wipe in a circular motion.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent,  
abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analog records.  
CLEANING THE DISC LENS  
• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to  
“Troubleshooting” in this Owner’s Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your  
dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.  
DISC HANDLING  
• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.  
• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.  
AUTO HEAD CLEANING  
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.  
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt  
accumulated on the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes  
can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in  
the unit may need to be cleaned.  
1.Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.  
ꢀ.If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please call our help line mentioned on the  
front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.  
NOTES:  
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.  
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.  
IR SIGNAL CHECK  
If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared  
signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to  
define the cause of malfunction.  
With an AM radio:  
Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the  
radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This  
means the remote control unit is working.  
With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):  
Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared  
light appears through digital camera, the remote is working.

Dolby Digital Recording  
®
“Dolby Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on  
recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves record-  
able disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD.  
DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players.”  
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

• About Video mode and VR (Video Recording)  
mode:  
Video mode is the same recording format as  
DVD-Video discs purchased locally and played  
back on most DVD players.  
To play back the disc on other DVD players,  
you will need to finalize the disc (see page 36).  
Before finalization, you can record additionally  
or edit disc with this unit.  
VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic  
recording format for DVD-RW. You can edit,  
record and delete repeatedly.  
The audio and video quality is getting poorer as  
the recording time becomes longer.  
Each time [REC SPEED] is pressed, recording  
speed and its allowed recording time will be  
displayed.  
Note  
• This recorder cannot record on CD-RW or  
CD-R discs.  
• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a  
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may  
not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or  
if there is dirt of condensation on the player’s lens.  
• If you record on a disc using a personal  
computer, there are cases in which it may not  
be played back because of the settings of the  
application software used to create the disc, even  
if it is recorded in a compatible format. (Check  
with the software publisher for more detailed  
information.)

Not Playable  
When recording a TV broadcast or through an  
external input, you can display copy control  
information on the screen.  
* You cannot finalize discs in other DVD recorders.  
What is “CPRM”?  
After finalizing:  
• Once DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, you  
cannot record additionally or edit.  
• DVD-RW disc recorded with VR mode can record  
additionally and edit contents even after you  
finalized the disc.  
• When DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, the  
Title menu will be created automatically.  
This is a format used to record copy-once  
programs. By recording coded data on the area  
of DVD discs that ordinary writing software  
cannot write, it prevents copy-once programs  
from being recorded repeatedly on different  
media.  
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that  
you can record copy-once broadcast programs,  
but then you cannot make a copy of those  
recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made  
on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and  
CPRM recordings can only be played back on  
DVD players that are compatible with CPRM.  
Finalize discs recorded on this unit in order to  
play them back on other DVD players.

Hints for Timer Recording  
• If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer  
settings will be lost.  
• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, the DVD indicator on the front panel  
flashes and Timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, the DVD indicator appears momentarily around the  
Timer starting time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.  
• If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment,  
the VCR indicator on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable  
videotape.  
• If you press [POWER] and turn on the unit while either DVD or VCR is in timer standby mode,  
disappears. In this  
case, you cannot change the mode between DVD and VCR. You cannot change any settings using [SETUP] or edit  
discs.  
• After step 9 on page 3ꢀ, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either  
DVD or VCR) for another recording by pressing [POWER] during timer standby. During Timer Recording, press  
[OUTPUT SELECT] on the front panel, or [DVD ] or [VCR ] on the remote control. Note that you cannot change  
channels after Timer Recording started. You can use all recording/recording pause/OTR functions. However, the unit  
will begin receiving channel signals for Timer Recording ꢀ minutes before the programmed starting time. Unless the  
program that you are currently recording using the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on the same channel with  
the one programmed for Timer Recording, the unit prioritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be  
automatically stopped. If the channels set for Timer recording and the current recording are same, the current  
recording will continue without interruption.  
• If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer  
Recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by pressing  
[T-SET] during timer standby or stop recording by pressing [STOP] on the front panel during Timer Recording.  
• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for ꢀ4 hours. When the disc reaches the end  
during the recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by pressing  
[T-SET], insert a new disc, and then press [T-SET] again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit automatically ejects  
the tape when it reaches the end. You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.  
• When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and  
be cleared for redoing.  
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you  
press [T-SET].  
• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the  
same channel and time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.  
The priority of overlapped settings  
This unit prioritize recording as follows if the timer programmings are overlapped.  
A Timer Recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way.  
Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.  
A programming with a lower program number has priority  
When some programming have been made around the end  
time of the program currently being recorded:  
When the starting time is same:  
A program with a lower program number (PROG. 1) has priority.  
A program with a lower program number (PROG. 2) has priority.

Note for DVD recording  
When the End time of the programming currently being recorded  
and the Start time of the subsequent program are same:  
If PROG. 1 is recorded on a DVD, the beginning of the PROG. 2 may be  
cut off. The amount of time cut off differs depending on the recording media.  
For example, if both PROG. 1 and PROG. 2 are recorded on DVD, the first 30  
seconds (at the longest) of PROG. 2 will be cut off.  
• When the recording time of two  
programs are overlapped, or the End  
time of a program and the Start time  
of another are the same, the first  
30 seconds (at the longest) of the  
subsequent program will be cut off.  
• If the cut-off portion reaches one

which can be an electrical signal, but  
is an indirect representation of sound.  
See also Digital audio.  
Regions associate discs and players  
with particular areas of the world. This  
unit will only play back discs that have  
compatible region codes. You can find  
the region code of your unit by looking  
at the rear panel. Some discs are com-  
patible with more than one region (or  
all regions).  
Dolby Digital  
Aspect ratio  
The system developed by Dolby  
Laboratories to compress digital sound.  
It offers you sound of stereo(ꢀch) or  
multi-channel audio (up to 5.1ch).  
The width of a TV screen relative to its  
height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other  
words, the screen is almost square);  
widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen  
is almost twice as wide as it is high).  
Sampling frequency  
The rate which sound is measured by  
a specified interval to turn it into digital  
audio data. The numbers of sampling  
in one second defines as sampling fre-  
quency. The higher the rate, the better  
the sound quality is.

chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually  
divided into chapters. See also Title.  
SAP (Secondary Audio Program)  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
Component video output  
Sub audio channel which is delivered  
separately from main-audio channel.  
This audio channel is used as an alter-  
nate in bilingual broadcasting.  
PCM is a format that converts audio  
into digital data. It is mainly used for  
Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can play  
back sounds as realistic as possible  
by converting even compressed Dolby  
Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.  
This is a video signal format that con-  
veys each of three principal colors of  
light (red, blue and green) through  
different signal lines. This allows the  
viewers to experience picture colors  
as original as it is. There are several  
signal formats, including Y/PB/PR and  
Y/CB/CR.  
S-Video output  
It delivers independently each signal  
of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as  
video signals, so that higher-quality  
picture will be materialized.  
Playlist  
From this list you can play back con-  
tents of a disc in your desired order or  
sequence. Also it allows to search a  
specific scene directly.  
CPRM (Content Protection for  
Recordable Media)  
Title (DVD only)  
A collection of chapters on DVD disc.  
See also Chapter.  
This is a format used to record copy-  
once programs. By recording coded data  
on the area of DVD discs that ordinary  
writing software cannot write on, it pre-  
vents copy-once programs from being  
recorded repeatedly on different media.  
Progressive Scan (525p/480p)  
A type of display that does not split  
each frame into fields, and instead  
scans directly through all the scanlines  
of each frame in order. Progressive  
Scan provides less flickering and  
higher image resolution than tradi-  
tional (5ꢀ5i/480i) TV signals. Refer to  
page 15 for instructions on selective
