PRECAUTIONS
Maintenance
Servicing
• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING”
on pages 80-84 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.
1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a
good quality VHS video head cleaner.
2. If a video head cleaner does not solve the problem,
please consult your dealer or an Authorized Service
Center.
Note
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video
head cleaner before use.
Cleaning the cabinet
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing
alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.
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.
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.
•
With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a station 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 is working.
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.
•
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 control is working.
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.
Manufactured under license from
Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the
double-D symbol are trademarks of
Dolby Laboratories.
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 your unit may need to be
cleaned.
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 recordable disc space, allow-
ing 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.

not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or

if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)

rate) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording

page 67 for more details.) To play back discs other
than DVD+RW on other DVD players, you will need

GLOSSARY
Analog Audio
PBC (playback control) (video CD only)
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical
signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital Audio”.
This function enables you to play back interactive
software using a menu screen. See also “Video CD”.
PCM (pulse code modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.
Aspect Ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the TV screen
is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV
screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Chapter
Progressive Scan (525p/480p)
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a
DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.
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 traditional
(525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to page 75 for instructions on
selective progressive scan mode.
Component Video Output
Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/
CR) is independent to output so that you can experience
picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility with progressive video
(525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture
than that in interlace (525i/480i).
Region Code
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 on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Digital Audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-
to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates
an analog signal based on these numbers. See also
“Sampling Frequency” and “Analog Audio”.
Sampling Frequency
The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval
to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling
in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher
the rate, the better the sound quality.
Dolby Digital
The system to compress digital sound developed by
Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi channel audio.
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 gained.
Finalize
Title (DVD only)
A collection of chapters on DVD. See also “Chapter”.
To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to
play back in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to
finalize DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD-R.
Track
MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)
MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3
files on CD-RW/-R from the computer and play back the
files on this unit.
Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also
“Chapter”.
Video CD
A digital format for store video data in compact disc.
