IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But improper
use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. This
product has been engineered and manufactured to assure your
personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in safeguards,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and
servicing.
ATTENTION:
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your product
and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read all the safety
and operating instructions before you operate this product and keep
this booklet for future reference.

INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
(A)Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
(B)Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit
into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
2. Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning
and power-line surges.
3. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

2. Power Sources
Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. If your product is intended to operate from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
3. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
4. Power Cord Protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
5. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

● Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug
or other similar surface.
● Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.

Region Number

File Structure Of Discs

The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs.
DVD VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which
region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played back
on this unit unless the region number of the disc matches that of
the unit. The region number for this unit is “1”. Only discs whose
region number includes “1” or “ALL” can be played back such as
shown below.

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.

Examples of DVD VIDEO labels which can be played back
using this unit.

When you record a program 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 to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (墌 pg. 27)

files.
Also, it can recognise up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99
groups on a disc.

NOTES:

● Video CD 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. 29)

● Regarding the contents recorded on discs

Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other
factors.

DISC INFORMATION

Placing A Disc

Care And Handling Of Discs

Opening the disc tray
Press x (OPEN/CLOSE) to open the disc tray.

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.

F-1

● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.
● Use the buttons to open and close 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 on the
disc tray.
● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.

Discs without cartridges
Place the disc on 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.

DVD-RAM discs contained in
cartridges
Double-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side
you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc
with “Side A” facing down, programs are recorded on the side A.
Single-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves
on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label
side facing up.

Page 11

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

Plug & Play Set
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
This unit sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC
power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable
must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.
The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting
data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels.
We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel
in your area.
ATTENTION:

● If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock
and tuner channels separately. (墌 pg. 20 – 21)
● Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may not
receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this
function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be
necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set
procedure.

1 Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌 pg. 17) Then connect
the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the unit.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

● “LOADING” blinks on the front display panel when the AC plug of the
power cord is connected into a mains outlet and it takes
approximately 50 seconds for the unit to be turned on. This is not a
malfunction.

NOTES:

● Auto Clock Set is performed first.
“AUTO” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.
● Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the
channels that are receivable by your unit. During Auto Channel Set,
the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.
● When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting
successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set” (墌 pg. 20) and
“Tuner Set” (墌 pg. 21). If, however, you want to add or delete
channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” (墌 pg. 21).

During Auto Clock Set
“AUTO” blinks.

F-1

During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed and “AUTO” blinks as they
are scanned and set.

INFORMATION

● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (墌 pg. 20), the clock will be
adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except
11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming
PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment
can only be performed when the unit is turned off. The clock will be
adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front
display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of
“AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (墌 pg. 20)
● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or
because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be
performed when power is restored to the unit.

Plug&Play Completed
The current time is displayed.

● If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the front display
panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” (墌 pg. 18).

What to do if Plug & Play setting failed

● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may
be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an
adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV
system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set” (墌 pg. 20) or
“Manual Clock Set” (墌 pg. 20).
● If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable
may not be connected to the unit or there may not be a Host PBS
signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is
connected correctly. Then turn on and off the unit; the Plug & Play
setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not
performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly,
perform “Manual Clock Set” (墌 pg. 20) and “Auto Channel Set”
(墌 pg. 21) or “Manual Channel Set” (墌 pg. 21).

NOTES:

● “DISC RESUME” setting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD 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. 74)
● If you stop the playback of a disc for which an resume point has
already been memorized, the memory will be updated with the new
resume point.
● After the unit has memorized the resume point for 30 discs,
remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the
oldest memorized 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 memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also
remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.
● This function may not work for some Video CD.
● When “RESUME” is changed to “ON” or “OFF” (墌 pg. 74), resume
points of the discs memorized with “RESUME” set to “DISC
RESUME” will be cleared.
● Resume points are memorized for each side of a double-sided disc.

where you have stopped playback as a resume point. (The inside of
the disc status indicator on the front display panel blinks while
memorising.)

played back, even though they have been ejected if “RESUME” is set
to “DISC RESUME”. (墌 pg. 74)

● You can program 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 program. To avoid this, make
sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer-programing.
(Example) If you programed 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-programing a long
program 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 program.
● Even if more than one program are timer-programed 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.

Second Audio Recording
This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel
TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND
AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. (墌 pg. 74)
NOTE:

● The “MONO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if
the program is a monaural broadcast.
● The “STEREO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds
if the program is a stereo broadcast.
● Both “STEREO” and “SAP” indicators appear when a stereo program
is accompanied by SAP sound.
● Both “MONO” and “SAP” indicators appear when the main audio on
the monaural broadcast is accompanied by SAP sound.

Changing VCR Plus+ Setting
®

The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide
channel to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide
channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes.
Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the
guide channel numbers assigned to each station.
To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is
necessary to set the VCR Plus+ “Guide Channel Set” for each
station.
If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station’s
channel number has been changed, perform the following steps to
set the correct guide channel number.
NOTES:

● In many instances, the VCR Plus+ guide channel numbers for cable
and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on
which it is received by your unit or cable box. Check your TV listing,
or contact your cable supplier for details.
● Many TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or
contact your cable supplier for details.
● Turn on the unit.
● Turn on the TV and select the video channel (or AV mode).
● Slide the TV/CABLE/DBS/DVD switch to DVD.

as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.

8 Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD disc.

8 Dolby 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 subwoofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain.
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

8 Down-mix

8 Multilanguage
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.

8 NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format used in the
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

8 PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.

8 Parental 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.

8 Playback control (PBC)

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.

Refers to the signal recorded on Video CDs for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD that
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as
software having a search function.

8 DTS

8 Progressive scan

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.

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.

8 Interlaced scan

8 Region Code

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.

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.

8 JPEG
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.

8 Letter 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.

8 Sampling 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.

8 Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

8 Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

8 Transfer rate

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

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.

8 MP3
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.

8 MPEG
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.
