DISC INFORMATION

Recordable/playable Discs

You can use discs with the following logos for recording and

playback.

●The above table is based on the information as of December 2006.

●Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the

characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to

unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is

recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with this

unit.

DVD-RAM Discs

It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM

standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.

●It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not conform to

this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a different standard

version, format it on this unit before use.

●It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM

disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on

the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too

many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the

disc.

●Some DVD-RAM discs are contained in a cartridge. This unit cannot

handle this type of disc. Remove the disc from the cartridge (only

discs with a removable cartridge); or the use of DVD-RAM discs not

contained in a cartridge is recommended.

●DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on an

incompatible DVD player.

●It is possible to record copy-once programs of digital broadcasts only

onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB DVD-RAM discs are not

compatible).

●It is impossible to record or edit DVD-R/RW discs recorded on other

devices even if they have not been finalized.

●It is impossible to overwrite recorded areas of DVD-R discs.

●Available recording capacity does not increase even if a recorded

program is deleted from a DVD-R disc.

After finalizing —

After a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) has been finalized, it is

possible to play back the recorded programs (video and/or audio)

on a standard DVD video player as a DVD VIDEO disc.

●Edited titles are displayed as the

“DVD menu” in video mode.

●It is impossible to record, edit or

delete the data either in video

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.

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. 22)

When you record a program 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

finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks

are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

●In Video mode, even before finalizing, it is impossible to perform

editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title

names and deleting programs and/or titles.

●After finalizing, it is impossible to perform editing operations.

DISC INFORMATION

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.

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. (墌pg. 45)

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 recognize up to 9 hierarchies including directories and

files.

Also, it can recognize 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. 24)

●Regarding the contents recorded on discs

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

factors.

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its

packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and

functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and

functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may

not include a mark even for a function it supports.

DISC INFORMATION

Placing A Disc

Opening the disc tray

Press x (EJECT) to open the disc tray.

●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-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.

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 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

of the unit.

RECORDING

Recording Mode

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture

quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be

recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture

quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording.

Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such

as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with

relatively less movement.

The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Elapsed Recording Time And Disc Remaining Time

Indication

During recording, press DISPLAY repeatedly until the desired

indication appears on the front display panel.

●Each time you press DISPLAY, the time indication changes as

follows:

Elapsed recording time ] Disc remaining time ] Clock ] (Back to

the beginning)

●You can also check the disc remaining time by pressing REMAIN

while the unit is stopped or recording is in progress. The list of disc

remaining times for all recording modes appears on the TV screen.

Free Rate Function

To record the entire program, the unit automatically set the

appropriate recording mode depending on the combination of the

total time of the program to be recorded and either the remaining

disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480

minutes).

8To record the entire program by specifying the desired

recording time

Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording mode

selection procedure. (墌pg. 36)

8To record a 25-min. long daily program five times just on a

same disc for example

recording time to the whole disc space.

When the same program is recorded in SP mode instead of in

“FR125”, the 5th program cannot be recorded.

NOTES:

●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

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The

horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of

wide-screens is 16:9.

8Chapter

Refers to individual chapters included in a title.

8Composite 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.

8Component 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.

8Disc menu

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,

sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD disc.

8Dolby 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 sub-

woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain.

Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

8Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD

player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output

connectors.

8DTS

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.

8Interlaced scan

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.

8JPEG

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.

8Letter 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.

8Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for

later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

8MP3

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.

8MPEG

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.

8Multiangle

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.

8Multichannel

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.

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.

8Playback control (PBC)

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.

8Progressive scan

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.

8Region Code

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.

8Sampling 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.

8Surround

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism

by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

8Transfer rate

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.
