Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on
recordable DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD.
DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with actual recordable DVD discs.

on the front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.
CLEANING THE CABINET
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing
alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.
CLEANING DISCS
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out. Do
not wipe in a circular motion.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent,
abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to
“Troubleshooting” in this Owner’s Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your
dealer or an Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.
DISC HANDLING
• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.
• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.
AUTO HEAD CLEANING
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt
accumulated on the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes
can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in
the unit may need to be cleaned.
1.Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.
.If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please call our help line mentioned on the
front page to locate an Authorized Service Center.
NOTES:
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
IR SIGNAL CHECK
If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if the remote control sends out the infrared
signal with AM radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone). It will help to
define the cause of malfunction.
• With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the
radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This
means the remote control unit is working.
• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared
light appears through digital camera, the remote is working.

• This recorder cannot record CD-RW or CD-R
discs.
• DVD+RW/R, DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs
recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or
CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged
or dirty or if there is dirt of condensation on the
player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
• DVD-RW/R discs recorded in Video mode cannot be
recorded additionally using the unit.
• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate
(VBR) method, depending on the picture you are
recording, the actual remaining time for recording
may be a little shorter than the remaining time
displayed on the OSD.
• You cannot record copy-protected video using
this unit. (Copy-protected video includes DVDVideo discs and some satellite broadcasts.)
• You cannot record videos that includes “copyonce only” signal.

signals for Timer Recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time. Unless the program that you are currently
recording using the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on the same channel with the one programmed for Timer

[TIMER SET] during timer standby or stop recording by pressing [STOP C] on the front panel during Timer Recording.
• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc or tape reaches the end

[TIMER SET], insert a new disc or tape, and then press [TIMER SET] again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit
automatically ejects the tape when it reaches the end. You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.
• When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be
cleared for redoing.
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [TIMER SET].
• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the same
channel and time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.
