File Structure of Discs

Care and Handling of Discs

DVD VIDEO

How to handle discs

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 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.

Title1

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Title2

Chapter 3

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.

Storage

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.
Track 1

Track 2

Track 3

Track 4

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/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC)
Function” (墌 pg. 31).

Placing a Disc
1 Open the disc tray.
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

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.

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.

● The unit’s power comes on
automatically.
● 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.

2 Place 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.

3 Press x on the DVD deck to close the disc tray.
● Pressing 4 also closes the disc tray.
● Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is
loaded. Although the VHS deck is selected, the DVD deck is
selected automatically (except when the VHS deck is in the
timer mode or the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording
mode.)

Satellite Receiver Users

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.

How to check if the station being received transmits a
VPS/PDC signal
A Press – –:– – until the channel position appears on the
front display panel.
B Hold down START + for about 5 seconds.
“VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the TV screen.
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.
C Press – –:– – or START + again to return to normal display.

To timer-record a satellite broadcast using the SHOWVIEW
system:
A Set “L-2 SELECT” to “A/V”. (墌 pg. 54)
B Perform steps A – H.
C Set the satellite receiver to the appropriate channel before
the selected programme begins.

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The
next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is reperformed.
● Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does
not start Instant Timer Recording. (墌 pg. 22)

8 PICTURE CONTROL— AUTO / EDIT / SOFT
This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality
according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO.”
AUTO: Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T.
Picture System.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording
and playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed
tapes containing a lot of noise.

8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, the unit automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not
enough tape to record the entire programme while timerrecording in SP mode.
For Example:
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180minute tape
Approximately 150 minutes
Approximately 60 minutes
SP mode
LP mode
Total 210 minutes
Make sure you set this function to “ON,” before the timerrecording starts.

NOTES:

● If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may
not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to “ON.”
In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the
tape speed manually during timer programming.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point
on the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.
● The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work
properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes
of shorter lengths.
● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the
Auto SP]LP Timer activated, and the programme goes
beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times
when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

NOTES:

● When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT,” the selected mode will not
change until you select another mode.
● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select
“AUTO” after you finish dubbing the tapes.
● When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches
automatically from “AUTO” to “NORM.”

8 O.S.D. — ON / OFF
When this function is set to “ON,” various operational indicators
appear on the TV screen. Messages appear in the selected

NOTES:

● When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure
to set “O.S.D.” to “OFF” before starting.
● During playback, the operation mode indicators may be
disturbed depending on the type of tape being used.

When this function is set to “ON,” you can easily start recording
the programme that you are watching on your TV. Press and hold
7 and press 4 on the remote control, or press 7 on the unit.

NOTES:

● When you use the Direct Rec function, be sure to use a TV
offering T-V LINK, etc. and connect a fully-wired 21-pin
SCART cable between the unit and the TV. (墌 pg. 9)
● If “DIRECT REC” is set to “OFF”, the 7 button functions as
described in “Basic Recording” (墌 pg. 21).
● During Direct Rec, “– –” appears on the front display panel.
● When “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON”, if you press any button
just after pressing 7 on the unit (or 7 and 4 on the remote
