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 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

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. Moisture condensation on the head drum

will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation

may occur, keep the unit turned on for a few hours to let the

moisture dry.

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/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC)

Function” (墌pg. 31).

Placing a Disc

1Open the disc tray.

Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

●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.

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.

3Press 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.)

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.

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.

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 normal audio track.

To Record NICAM Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi

audio track, and the standard audio programme will be recorded

on the normal audio track.

NOTES:

●If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the

broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.

●Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a

bilingual programme, refer to “Soundtrack Selection” on

page 20.

B.E.S.T. Picture System

The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)

system checks the condition of the tape in use during

playback and recording, and compensates to provide the

highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You

can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference.

(墌pg. 53)

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.

recording in SP mode.

For Example:

Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-

minute tape

Make sure you set this function to “ON,” before the timer-

recording 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.
