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.

NOTES:  
ADISC RESUMEB setting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD and  
already finalised DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) discs. For other  
types of discs, the function under AONB setting will be applied  
even if ARESUMEB is set to ADISC RESUMEB. (A pg. 72)  
If you stop the playback of a disc for which a resume point has  
already been memorised, the memory will be updated with the  
new resume point.  
Example:  
Playback search when jump interval is set to 15 MIN jumps.  
Taking for instance, you want to start jump search 40 minutes after  
the beginning of the programme. Pressing JUMP – or JUMP + will  
result in a jump to the scene at the 30 minutes point or 45 minutes  
point respectively as illustrated below. At the subsequent press, the  
scene will jump to the 15 minutes point or 1 hour point respectively,  
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.  
When the unit memorises a resume point for a disc, it also  
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.  
This function may not work for some Video CD/SVCDs.  
When ARESUMEB is changed to AONB or AOFFB (A pg. 72),  
resume points of the discs memorised with ARESUMEB set to  
ADISC RESUMEB will be cleared.  
Resume points are memorised for each side of a double-sided  
disc.

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. 46). 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.  
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. 47)  
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:  
Clock is not set.  
Timer programming has not been set.  
Disc is not loaded.  
HDD is full.  
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.  
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.

This unit has a dynamic range of more than 110 dB with regards  
to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that you check 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 playback picture.
