Maintenance

SERVICING

• Please refer to relevant topics on Troubleshooting on pages 78-81 before returning the product.

• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power plug and please call our help line mentioned 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.

CLEANING THE DISC LENS

• 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.

2. 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 a 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.

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.

Recording speed

You can select a recording speed among 6 options, and the recording time will depend on the recording speed you select as follows. *

Discs recorded in SLP or SEP on this recorder may not be played back on other DVD recorders or DVD players.

• The recording time are estimates and actual

recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality is getting poorer as

the recording time becomes longer.

• Each time [REC SPEED] is pressed, recording

speed and its allowed recording time will be displayed.

Note

• This recorder cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.

• DVD-RW/R and CD-RW/R discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is dirt of condensation on the player’s lens.

• If you record on a disc using a personal computer, there are cases in which it may not be played back because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc, even if it is recorded in a compatible format. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in Video mode on this unit cannot record additionally using other DVD recorders.

• A DVD-RW disc formatted with this unit cannot be used on other DVD recorders.

• Since the recording is made by the variable bit rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little bit shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.

Restrictions on recording

You cannot record copy-protected materials using this unit. Copy-protected material includes DVDVideo discs and some satellite broadcasts.

If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will be paused or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on the screen. Material that is “copy-once only” can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

When recording a TV broadcast or through an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen.

What is “CPRM”?

This is a format used to record copy-once programs. By recording coded data on the area of DVD discs that ordinary writing software cannot write, it prevents copy-once programs from being recorded repeatedly on different media. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but then you cannot make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and

CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are compatible with CPRM.

XXXX

Making discs playable on other DVD player (Finalize)

After recording, you must finalize the disc in order to play on other units. (Refer to page 36.)

After finalizing:

• Once DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, you cannot record additionally or edit.

• DVD-RW disc recorded with VR mode can record additionally and edit contents even after you finalized the disc.

• When DVD-RW/R (Video mode) is finalized, the Title menu will be created automatically.

Finalize discs recorded on this unit in order to play them back on other DVD players.

Information on copy control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. For their recording, refer to the following.

Hints for Timer Recording

• If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.

• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, the DVD indicator on the front panel flashes and Timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, the DVD indicator appears momentarily around the Timer starting time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

• If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment, the VCR indicator on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.

• If you press case, you cannot change the mode between DVD and VCR. You cannot change any settings using [SETUP] or edit discs.

• After step 9 on page 32, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either DVD or VCR) for another recording by pressing [POWER] during timer standby. During Timer Recording, press [OUTPUT SELECT] on the front panel, or [DVD ] or [VCR ] on the remote control. Note that you cannot change channels after Timer Recording started. You can use all recording/recording pause/OTR functions. However, the unit will begin receiving channel 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 Recording, the unit prioritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be automatically stopped. If the channels set for Timer recording and the current recording are same, the current recording will continue without interruption.

• If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer Recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by pressing [T-SET] during timer standby or stop recording by pressing [STOP] 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 reaches the end during the recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by pressing [T-SET], insert a new disc, and then press [T-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 [T-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.

The priority of overlapped settings

This unit prioritize recording as follows if the timer programmings are overlapped. A Timer Recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way. Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.

[POWER] and turn on the unit while either DVD or VCR is in timer standby mode, disappears. In this

Recording Playing discs EditingBefore you start Connections Getting started

Note for DVD recording

• When the recording time of two

programs are overlapped, or the End time of a program and the Start time of another are the same, the first 30 seconds (at the longest) of the subsequent program will be cut off.

• If the cut-off portion reaches one

minute or more, this program will be displayed with error number E40 on the timer programming list.
