PRECAUTIONS  
Maintenance  
Servicing  
• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING”  
on pages 96-100 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.  
Note  
• 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.  
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.  
•
With an AM radio:  
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.  
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.  
•
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  
•
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.  
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 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.  
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.

• In digital TV broadcasting, 2 or more channels, called  
minor channels, are simultaneously broadcast on one  
main channel, called major channel.  
About digital TV broadcasting:  
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far  
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and  
sound quality.  
Channel Selection  
What is the minor channel?  
Select channels by using [CH K / L] or [the Number  
buttons] on remote control.  
By using high compression technology, digital  
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals  
to send simultaneously.  
Therefore, you can select more than one program per  
major channel since digital broadcasting technology  
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a  
signal network.

To cancel finalizing...  
Note  
(DVD-RW only)

else on that disc.  
• If you insert a DVD-RW finalized with this unit, “Undo  
Finalize” will appear instead of “Finalize” at step 3.  
Do you want to cancel ?

“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM  
compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.  
What is “CPRM”?  
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system  
regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast  
programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for  
Recordable Media.  
• The recording times listed above are estimates and are  
for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may  
vary.  
• The audio and video quality of content being recorded  
may differ depending on the recording speed/recording  
time chosen.  
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you  
can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you  
cannot make another copy of those recordings. CPRM  
recordings can only be made on CPRM compatible DVD-  
RW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can  
only be played back on DVD players that are specifically  
compatible with CPRM.  
Note  
• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.  
Making discs playable in other DVD players(Finalize)  
For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after  
recording, in order to play back the disc on other DVD  
players. (Refer to pages 40-42.)  
When video mode DVD-RW or DVD-R are finalized, a DVD  
menu is created. You cannot finalize discs in other DVD  
recorders.  
• All high definition pictures will be down converted to  
the standard definition pictures when they are  
recorded on this unit.  
• DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R 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 condensation on the player’s lens.  
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even  
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.)  
• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot  
record additional information using other DVD  
recorders.  
• It is not possible to use a DVD-RW formatted with  
this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of  
the disc was also recorded with this unit.  
• Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit  
rate) method, depending on the picture you are  
recording, the actual remaining time for recording  
may be a little shorter than the remaining time  
displayed on the TV screen.  
• “Make Recording Compatible” in “Recording”  
menu does not work on this unit.

GLOSSARY  
Analog Audio  
PCM (pulse code modulation)  
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.  
The most common system of encoding digital audio,  
Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical  
found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a  
signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital  
“Digital Audio”.  
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).  
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 traditional  
(525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to page 91 for instructions on  
selective progressive scan mode.  
Chapter  
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a  
DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.  
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  
Sampling Frequency  
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”.  
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.  
SAP (secondary audio program)  
Sub-audio channel which is delivered separately from  
main-audio channel. This audio channel is used as an  
alternate in bilingual broadcasting.  
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  
To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to  
play back in DVD players.  
Title (DVD only)  
A collection of chapters on DVD. See also “Chapter”.  
JPEG (joint photographic experts group)  
JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can  
copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R from a computer and play  
back the files on this unit.  
Track  
Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a  
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also  
“Chapter”.  
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.
