Before Use (Cont’d)

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 packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

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

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, 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 out.

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

Your VCR allows you to make recordings using a variety of simple methods: One-Touch Recording (OTR) start recording immediately for a set period of time or until the video cassette runs out.

Your VCR 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 your

VCR as described earlier in this book. Press POWER to turn on your VCR.

Insert a video cassette with protection tab into your

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

 Video Programme System (VPS)

The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the TV programmes 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 programme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues. The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the video recorder. 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 your new video recorder.

 If you want to watch a DVD during timer recording,

press TV/VCR on the remote control to select VCR mode.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

Your VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound. This allows you to record and playback the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your VCR will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

Your VCR’s allows you to enjoy broadcasts with

standard stereo, bilingual and mono sound. The particular type of sound received or that recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a couple of seconds:

STEREO

Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.

BIL

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.

MONO

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the mono track of the video tape without any separation.

Press AUDIO repeatedly until the desired audio mode

appears.

The choice is STEREO, LEFT, RIGHT and MONO.

In BIL playback the primary language is output onthe left channel and the secondary channel is output simultaneously from the right channel when audio output is set to STEREO. The primary language willbe output from both channels when the audio setting is MONO. Please note that when adjusting the tracking control Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to MONO.

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 player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.



The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz

2. Bit rate/ only 128kbps

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct- CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please use finished CD-R discs only.

7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate the “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.MP3”.

8. Characters other than uppercase letters (“A” to “Z”), numerals (“0” to “9”) and underscore (“_”) may not be displayed, or may be displayed in different characters.

9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than

255.

10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80 minute CD-R (700M) software.

OPERATION

This DVD player 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 containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
