SAFETY FIRST
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure 
that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation 
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be 
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of 
these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in 
damage to the unit, remote control or disc.
1. DO NOT place the unit —
— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or 
humidity.
— in direct sunlight.
— in a dusty environment.
— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are 
generated.
— on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper 
or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the unit or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the unit 
or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or 
electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with 
water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or 
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted 
plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted 
candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the unit during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it from 
a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid 
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass 
filled with cold liquid. In conditions where condensation may occur, 
disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it 
disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on 
the unit.

DISC INFORMATION
Recordable/playable Discs
You can use discs with the following logos for recording and 
playback.
●The above table is based on the information as of February 2004.
●Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the 
characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to 
unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is 
recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with this 
unit.
DVD-RAM Discs
It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM 
standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.
●It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not conform to 
this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a different standard 
version, format it on this unit before use.
●It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM 
disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on 
the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too 
many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the 
disc.
●Some DVD-RAM discs are contained in a cartridge. This unit cannot 
handle this type of disc. Remove the disc from the cartridge (only 
discs with a removable cartridge); or the use of DVD-RAM discs not 
contained in a cartridge is recommended.
●DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on an 
incompatible DVD player.
●It is possible to record copy-once programmes of digital broadcasts 
only onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB DVD-RAM discs are 
not compatible).
DVD-R/RW Discs
It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R 
standard Version 2.0.
When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (墌pg. 87), it 
can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO 
disc.
When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (墌pg. 87), it can be 
played back on a standard DVD player compatible with the VR 
mode of DVD-RW discs.
Before finalising —

possible to play back the recorded programmes (video and/or 
audio) on a standard DVD video player as a DVD VIDEO disc.
●Edited titles are displayed as the 
“DVD menu” in video mode.
●It is impossible to record, edit or 
delete the data either in video 
mode or in VR mode.

File Structure Of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called 
“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to 
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called 
“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can 
also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are 
not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) 
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single 
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when 
recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual 
to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert 
chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (墌pg. 27)
When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) 
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single 
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when 
recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, 
etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations 
during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been 
finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks 
are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.
●In Video mode, even before finalising, it is impossible to perform 
editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title 
names and deleting programmes and/or titles.
●After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations.
Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each 
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For 
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD/
SVCD discs.
However, some discs are not divided into tracks.
JPEG/MP3 Disc (CD-R/RW/ROM)
MP3/JPEG files put in directories nested in several levels on a disc 
will be organized as if they were put in single level directories 
(groups) by the MP3/JPEG Navigation of this unit. (墌pg. 64)
File structure of a disc before starting the MP3/JPEG 
Navigation
File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG 
Navigation
Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the 
MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the 
alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.
●This unit can recognise up to 9 hierarchies including directories and 
files.
Also, it can recognise up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 
groups on a disc.
NOTES:
●Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)
The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played 
back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through 
the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks 
consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a 
PBC-compatible disc. (墌pg. 28)
●Regarding the contents recorded on discs
Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other 
factors.

DISC INFORMATION
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 and 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 dirt 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.

●Be sure to set “RESUME” to “ON” or “DISC RESUME”. (墌pg. 79)
1Press 8 during playback to memorise a resume point.
●The unit enters Resume Stop mode and memorises the position 
where you have stopped playback as a resume point. (The inside of 
the disc status indicator on the front display panel blinks while 
memorising.)
●The unit retains a memory of the resume points of the last 30 discs 
played back, even though they have been ejected if “RESUME” is set 
to “DISC RESUME”. (墌pg. 79)
●To clear the resume points:
(The inside of the disc status indicator stops blinking and lights.)
When “RESUME” is set to “ON”:
• Press 1 to turn off the unit.
• Press x to take out the disc.
• Press 8 in stop mode.
• Press TOP MENU to display the top menu, then start playback by 
selecting an item, etc.
• Press MENU to display the disc menu, then start playback by selecting 
an item, etc.
When “RESUME” is set to “DISC RESUME”:
• Set “RESUME” to “OFF”. (墌pg. 79)
• Press 8 in stop mode.
• Press TOP MENU to display the top menu, then start playback by 
selecting an item, etc.
• Press MENU to display the disc menu, then start playback by selecting 
an item, etc.
2Press 4 in stop mode to resume playback. The unit starts 
playback from the resume point.
NOTES:
●“DISC RESUME” 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 “ON” setting will be applied even if 
“RESUME” is set to “DISC RESUME”. (墌pg. 79)
●If you stop the playback of a disc for which an resume point has 
already been memorised, the memory will be updated with the new 
resume point.
●After the unit has memorised the resume point 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/SVCD.
●When “RESUME” is changed to “ON” or “OFF” (墌pg. 79), resume 
points of the discs memorised with “RESUME” set to “DISC 
RESUME” will be cleared.
●Resume points are memorised for each side of a double-sided disc.

Free Rate Function
To record the entire programme, the unit automatically set the 
appropriate recording mode depending on the combination of the 
total time of the programme to be recorded and either the 
remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 
minutes to 480 minutes).
8To record the entire programme within the actual remaining 
disc space
Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording mode selection procedure. 
(墌pg. 43, 45)
●Note that this function is available only for timer programming 
recording.
8To record the entire programme by specifying the desired 
recording time
Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording mode 
selection procedure. (墌pg. 40, 43, 45)
8To record a 25-min. long daily programme five times just on 
a same disc for example
Perform “SHOWVIEWTM Timer Programming” (墌pg. 43) procedure. 
Be sure to set the recording mode to “FR125” and set Weekly/Daily 
Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in step 6 to fit the total recording time 
to the whole disc space.
When the same programme is recorded in SP mode instead of in 
“FR125”, the 5th programme cannot be recorded.
NOTES:
●You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc 
remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, 
recording may stop in the middle of a programme. 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 checking 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.
Receiving Stereo And Bilingual Programmes
Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a 
Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo 
and bilingual broadcasts possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being 
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
NOTES:
●“SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to “AUTO”. Otherwise the on-screen 
displays will not appear. (墌pg. 79)
●If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast 
might be received in monaural with better quality.
Selection Of The Audio Channel To Be Recorded On A 
Disc
When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in 
VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are 
recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R 
or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel 
(from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”, “MONO”) to be 
recorded on the disc. (墌pg. 79)
NOTE:
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual 
programme, refer to “Audio Channel Selection” on page 28.

unit enters Record Pause mode. Recording starts again if it is 
switched to a recordable broadcast during the time you programmed.
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.
NOTES:
●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.
How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/
PDC signal
APress VCR/DVD repeatedly so that the DVD lamp lights up on 
the unit.
BHold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC” appears 
blinking on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected 
from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC 
signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower 
rate.
CPress DISPLAY again to return to normal display.

“HIFI hR” appears on the TV screen.
●To listen to the standard (Regular Monaural) audio while receiving a 
NICAM broadcast, press AUDIO until “NORM” appears on the TV 
screen.
NOTE:
“O.S.D.” must be set to “ON”, or the on-screen displays will not appear. 
(墌pg. 80)
To Record Stereo and Bilingual Programmes (A2)
Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on the 
Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording mixed L 
and R channel sound).
●Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual on the 
Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be recorded on the

on the front display panel.
●“BEST” only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even 
though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.
Recording
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate 
recording.
●The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of 
the tape, then begins recording.

(墌pg. 44).
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.
NOTES:
●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 not 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.
Manual Timer Programming
●Make sure that the unit’s built-in clock is set properly.
●Turn on the unit.
●Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.
●Slide the TV/CABLE/SAT/DVD switch to DVD.

GLOSSARY
8Aspect ratio
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The 
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of 
wide-screens is 16:9.
8Chapter
Refers to individual chapters included in a title.
8Composite video signal
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals 
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and 
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique; 
burst signal providing the basis for colour reproduction; and 
synchronization signal.
8Component video signal
A video signal system where parts of information necessary for 
reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of 
light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such 
as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.
8Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, 
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD disc.
8Dolby Digital (AC-3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left rear, right 
rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-
woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain.
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
8Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD 
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output 
connectors.
8DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) 
channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in 
the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater 
Systems.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
8Interlaced scan
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display 
monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places lines of 
the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the 
picture.
8JPEG
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint 
Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in 
image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
8Letter box
A method of displaying wide images like movies in the centre of a 
4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black 
bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has resulted 
from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.
8Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for 
later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.
8MP3
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the 
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio 
Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R/RW can contain about 10 
times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
8MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information. 
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video 
CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on 
MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.
8Multiangle
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a 
single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called 
the multiangle function.
8Multichannel
DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound 
field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having 
three or more channels.
8Multilanguage
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is 
generally called a multilanguage title.
8NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and colour television system format used in the 
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
8PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A colour television system format used extensively in Western 
Europe.
8Parental Lock
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not 
to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental 
lock level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from 
educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set 
on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive 
than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.
8Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on Video CD/SVCD for controlling 
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD/
SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software 
as well as software having a search function.
8Progressive scan
Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one 
time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced 
video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a 
progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical 
resolution.
8Region Code
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions 
designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are grouped 
into six regions, each region being identified by a specified Region 
Code (or region number). If the Region Code given to a disc 
includes a numeral which matches one in the Region Code of a 
player, the player can play back the disc.
8Sampling frequency
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to 
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many 
times the original analog signal is sampled per second.
8Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism 
by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
8Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud 
per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate 
system for high efficiency.
