damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.
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

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.
Audio CD/Video CD
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 discs.
NOTE:
Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)
The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is
called a “scene”. Each scene has a scene number.
For more details, refer to “Locating a desired scene using the
menu of a Video CD with PBC” (墌pg. 31).
Placing a Disc
1Open the disc tray.
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
●Pressing the button again closes
the disc tray.
●Do not block the disc tray with
your hand while it is opening or
closing as this may result in
hardware failure.
●Do not place unplayable discs or
any object other than a disc in
the disc tray.
●Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
2Place the disc.
Place the disc in the disc tray with
the label side facing up.
●Since disc size changes depending on
the disc to be played back, be sure to
correctly align the disc with the
grooves for its size. If the disc is not in
its groove, it may be scratched or
otherwise damaged.
●To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.
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 adhesive
on its surface.
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 center 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.
Number of audio tracks
Dolby Digital mark
Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital
surround system for the home. This mark
indicates that you may enjoy 5.1-channel
audio (front left and right, center, rear left and
right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects)).
DTS (Digital Theater System)
You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector of the unit.

Track 1 Track 4Track 3Track 2
CAUTION
Sometimes during playback, noise 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.

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
service 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 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 Express 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.

OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)
About MP3/WMA Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the MP3/WMA
format (we refer to those discs as MP3/WMA discs in this
manual).
Operations for MP3/WMA discs are similar to those for Audio
CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG
Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio
portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or
Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about
1/10.
What is WMA?
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio”, and is an
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller
than that of MP3.
On an MP3/WMA disc, each material (song) is recorded on each
Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks
per Group.
If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches
the limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also
ignores any non-MP3/WMA file on the disc.
NOTES:
●Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
●The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
●If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit
recognizes them as belonging to an independent Group.
●The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3/WMA disc in
the alphabetical order.
●For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and

About JPEG Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the JPEG format (we
refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).
Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is JPEG?
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group”.
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which
usually belongs to a Group (folder).
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Files per
Group.
If a disc includes more than the Files above limit, the unit stops
detecting Files when the number of detected Files reaches the
limit and ignores the subsequent Files. The unit also ignores any
non-JPEG file on the disc.
NOTES:
●We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a
file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480,
it will take a longer time to be displayed.)
●This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.
●Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
●Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
●The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
●If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do
not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them
as belonging to an independent Group.
●The unit plays back Groups/Files on a JPEG disc in the
alphabetical order.
●For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then
[two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.
●Therefore, a JPEG disc on the market may be played back in
different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

The JPEG control display appears on the TV screen and playback
starts when a JPEG disc is loaded.

Advantages of S-VHS video recorders
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or, from
S-VHS to S-VHS.
●From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the
S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently
limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
●From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the
source material is very high, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
●From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with
minimum degradation.
