File Structure Of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
AtitlesB. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
AchaptersB. 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 to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (Apg. 29)
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. (Apg. 59)
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. (Apg. 30)
●Regarding the contents recorded on discs
Some files may not be played back depending on the file types
and other factors.

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 or 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 dirty 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.

Free Rate Function
To record the entire programme, the unit automatically sets 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 (DVD deck only)
Select AFR (JUST)B in a recording mode selection procedure.
●Note that this function is available only for timer programming
recording (Apg. 47, 49) and dubbing from HDD to DVD
(Apg. 60).
8To record the entire programme by specifying the desired
recording time
Select AFR60-FR360B, AFR420B or AFR480B in a recording mode
selection procedure. (Apg. 37, 40, 47, 49)
8To record a 25 min. long daily programme five times just
on the same DVD disc for example
Perform AVIDEO Plus+® Timer ProgrammingB (Apg. 47)
procedure. Be sure to set the recording mode to AFR125B and set
Weekly/Daily Rec Function to AMON-FRIB in step 8 to fit the total
recording time to the whole disc space.
When the same programme is recorded in SP mode instead of in
AFR125B, 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,
the unit performs ARelief RecordingB (Apg. 49). 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 to check 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 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:
●ASUPERIMPOSEB must be set to AAUTOB. Otherwise the on-
screen displays will not appear. (Apg. 73)
●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
(ANICAMB or AMONOB) to be recorded on the disc. (Apg. 72)
NOTE:
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual
programme, refer to AAudio Channel SelectionB (Apg. 30).

LIVE MEMORY PLAYBACK
This unit records pictures onto the hard disc and DVD-RAM disc,
instead of video tapes, then plays back the pictures recorded on
the disc. This makes it possible to achieve high-speed writing and
read-out that has not been possible with conventional VCRs,
enabling recording and playback simultaneously.
It is called ALive Memory PlaybackB to start playback of the
programme being recorded, with a time-lag between a recording
point and a playback point, as shown in the figure below.
Not only can this unit play back a programme previously recorded
while recording or timer recording another programme, but the unit
also allows you to play back from the beginning of a programme
while continuing to record the same programme.
Recording/playback Status Display
NOTES:
●Live Memory Playback could be performed approximately
30 seconds after recording has started on the DVD-RAM disc.
However, for HDD, Live Memory Playback is possible right after
recording has started.
●Although high-speed search up to approximately 30 seconds
before the current recording point is possible during Live Memory
Playback, once the current recording point is reached, the unit
resumes normal playback and maintains a delay of
approximately 30 seconds so that recording and playback can
continue.
●When using Live Memory Playback during timer recording,
playback continues even after the end of the recording.
●When using Live Memory Playback during timer recording,
playback is automatically stopped just before recording starts,
and then recording starts when the time arrives for the next timer
programme.
●It is impossible to perform ITR even if you press R during Live
Memory Playback. (Apg. 41)
Press o to display the programme being recorded, then perform
ITR settings.
●Playback may be paused for a moment during Live Memory
Playback, which does not interfere with recording.
●Live Memory Playback cannot be performed while recording the
source from DV input. (Apg. 62, ADV DubbingB)
●When LIVE CHECK is pressed to display the picture currently
being recorded, the picture size may not be correct.
●Press R or LIVE to stop Live Memory Playback.
●Live Memory Playback cannot be performed even if the ALIVE
MEMORYB in AHDD SET UPB is set to other than AOFFB, as
temporary recording on HDD stops during recording on DVD.

Weekly/Daily Recording
You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily
timer settings.
For the HDD deck
When you select a mode other than ONCE, the space on the hard
disk drive is saved for new recordings by overwriting previous
recordings. To prevent loss of a needed recording, backup
programmes you wish to save by dubbing them to DVD discs
before overwriting previous recordings. Or save the title of weekly/
daily programmes to avoid overwriting of a previous week/day.
(Apg. 50)
ONCE (One Time Recording)
In this mode a programme will not be automatically overwritten.
WEEKLY (OVERWRITE) (Weekly Recording/Weekly Overwrite)
When the set weekly programme is broadcast, the programme
recorded last week is automatically deleted and overwritten by
the new programme. Save the title of each programme you
wish to save, then the recorded programme is saved and will
not be overwritten by the new programme.
MON-SUN (FOR A WEEK)/ MON-SAT (FOR A WEEK)/
MON-FRI (FOR A WEEK) (Daily Recording/Weekly Overwrite)
When the set weekly programme is broadcast, the programme
recorded on the same day last week is automatically deleted
and overwritten by the new programme. Save the title of each
programme you wish to save, then the recorded programme is
saved and will not be overwritten by the new programme.
MON-SUN (OVERWRITE)/ MON-SAT (OVERWRITE)/

MON-SUN/ MON-SAT/ MON-FRI (Daily Recording)
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 from what has been advertised. PDC is currently
available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a
few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service in some
areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due course.
Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the
channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your
unit will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to
set PDC to AOFFB if PDC is not available on your selected channel.
(See step 8 on page 47.)
NOTES:
●Make sure to press VPS/PDCj after completing timer
programming procedure to activate the VPS/PDC recording
function. The VPS/PDC recording indicator lights up on the front
display panel when VPS/PDC recording function is activated.
However, it will blink rapidly when VPS/PDCj is pressed under
the following conditions:
●Clock is not set.
●Timer programming has not been set.
●Disc is not loaded.
●HDD is full.
●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.
●When timer recording via VPS/PDC recording is in progress, it is
not possible to switch between the HDD and DVD deck, and the
following menus cannot be displayed:
●Main Menu
●Library Database Navigation Menu
●Editing Menu
●If the unit is powered on when set to record a timer programme
onto HDD/DVD using VPS/PDC, the PDC information will not be
used. The programme will be recorded using the start and stop
times originally programmed.
How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/
PDC signal
AHold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. AVPS/PDCB appears
and blinks on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is
detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will stop blinking. If no
VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will
blink at a slower rate.
BPress DISPLAY again to return to normal display.
