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. x ● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray. ● Use the button 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 G DUBBIN VCR DVD EN PULL-OP REC TIMER REC PLAY LINK DV IN CH FF REW REC DVD PAUSE REMAIN << SLOW REC >> MODE 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 10 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.

The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9. By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the multiangle function. 8 Chapter 8 Multichannel Refers to individual chapters included in a title. DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. 8 Composite video signal Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique; burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction; and synchronization signal. 8 Component video signal A video signal system where parts of information necessary for reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such 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.
