Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the Unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling Discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing Discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

The unit incorporates Long Play (LP) which enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality when using LP.

Make sure that you have correctly connected the

unit as described earlier in this book. Turn on your TV. Press I/6 to turn on the unit.

Insert a video cassette with protection tab into

the unit.

• The video cassette should have the window side facing up and the arrow facing away from you.

Press CH/TRACKING i+/k– to select the

program number you wish to record. You may also directly select program number using the numeric buttons.

If you wish to record directly from the EURO AV1/

2 or AV 3 IN jacks repeatedly press INPUT SELECT until the jack you wish to record from is displayed. AV 1 for recording from EURO AV1 AUDIO/ VIDEO jack on the rear of the unit. AV 2 for recording from EURO AV2 DECODER jack on the rear of the unit. AV 3 for recording from AV 3 IN VIDEO and AUDIO (Left & Right) jacks on the front of the unit.

Press SP/LP if you wish to record in Long Play or

Standard Play.

• SP will produce improved picture and sound quality, however LP will provide twice as much recording time as SP.

Press wREC to start recording. RECORD will

appear on the TV screen. Press wREC several times. Each successive press will increase the record time by 30 minutes until you reach a maximum of 9 hours.

Video Program System (VPS)

The Video Program System (VPS) ensures that the TV program that you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the program is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a program is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the program continues. The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the unit. VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not broadcasting these signals. *** The similar system PDC, which is used in the time being in the Netherlands, can also be used with this unit.

Notes

• Do not set PDC/VPS to ON for a non-PDC/VPS channel.

• When the PDC/VPS signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC/VPS signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without PDC/VPS) even if it was programmed for PDC/VPS.

OPERATION

Note

If the timer program list and “PROGRAM FULL” appear on the TV screen in step 2, 7 programs are already set. Cancel an unnecessary program.

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3

• An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the .mp3 file extension MP3 files.

• The unit cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than .mp3.

• The unit cannot read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension .mp3.

MP3 disc compatibility with this unit is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency/only at 44.1kHz

2. Bit rate/only 128kbps

3. CD-R/RW physical format should be ISO 9660

4. The unit cannot play MP3 files recorded using a

packet writing utility.

5. File names should be named using 8 letters or

less and must incorporate the .mp3 extension e.g. “********.MP3”.

6. Characters other than uppercase letters (“A” to

“Z”), numerals (“0” to “9”) and underscore (“_”) may not be displayed, or may be displayed as different characters.

7. Total number of files including JPEG files and

folders on the disc should be less than 648.

8. Use 74-minute CD-R/RW discs (650M), do not

use 80-minute CD-R/RW (700M) software.

This unit requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R/RW containing MP3 files).
