PRECAUTIONS
Maintenance
Servicing
• Please refer to relevant topics on “TROUBLESHOOTING”
on pages 96-100 before returning the product.
• If this unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct
the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable
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 analog 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 your 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 consult your dealer or an Authorized Service
Center.
Note
• 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 station 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 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 control is working.

Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record

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.”

• In digital TV broadcasting, 2 or more channels, called
minor channels, are simultaneously broadcast on one
main channel, called major channel.
About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
signal network.

Finalizing a Disc
Introduction
You will need to finalize discs to play back on other DVD
players.
Finalizing may take several minutes up to an hour.
Since the process of the finalization fills empty space of
the disc, a shorter recording period on the disc will
require a longer time period for finalization. Do not
unplug the power cord during finalization.

INFORMATION ON DVD RECORDING
Introduction
Recording Speed
You can select a recording speed among 5 options, and
the recording time will depend on the recording speed
you select as follows.
Recording speed
XP / 1H 60 min 18 min
SP / 2H 120 min 36 min
LP / 4H 240 min 72 min
EP / 6H 360 min 108 min
SLP / 8H 480 min 144 min
• The recording times listed above are estimates and are
for reference purposes only. Actual recording times may
vary.
• The audio and video quality of content being recorded
may differ depending on the recording speed/recording
time chosen.
Recording time
12cm 8cm
Note
• This unit cannot record to CD-RW or CD-R.
• All high definition pictures will be down converted to
the standard definition pictures when they are
recorded on this unit.
• DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R 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 condensation on the player’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot
record additional information using other DVD
recorders.
• It is not possible to use a DVD-RW formatted with
this unit on other DVD recorder unless the content of
the disc was also recorded with this unit.
• Since the recording is made by the VBR (variable bit
rate) 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 TV screen.
• “Make Recording Compatible” in “Recording”
menu does not work on this unit.
Video/

Restrictions on Recording
You cannot record copy-protected program using this
unit. Copy-protected signal is included in DVD-videos and
some satellite broadcasts, some pay-per-view stations
and some “premium” stations.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will
pause or stop automatically and an error message
appears on the screen.
“Copy-once only” video can only be recorded to CPRM
compatible DVD-RW formatted in VR mode.
What is “CPRM”?
CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system
regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast
programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for
Recordable Media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you
can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot make another copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM compatible DVDRW formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can
only be played back on DVD players that are specifically
compatible with CPRM.
Making discs playable in other DVD players(Finalize)
For DVD-RW/-R, it is necessary to finalize the disc after
recording, in order to play back the disc on other DVD
players. (Refer to pages 40-42.)
When video mode DVD-RW or DVD-R are finalized, a DVD
menu is created. You cannot finalize discs in other DVD
recorders.

cases, will appear momentarily around the start point as
the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
• If a cassette tape with an erase-protection tab is not in
the cassette compartment or there is no cassette tape in
the cassette compartment, “VCR” on the front panel
display flashes and timer recording cannot be
performed. Please insert a recordable cassette tape.
• If you press [T-SET] and turn on the unit while either
DVD or VCR is in timer standby mode,

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 turn the power off.
• The timer recording for digital TV cannot record any
audio language other than English.
• The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD and

• The timer recording for digital TV cannot record any
audio language other than English.
The Priority of Overlapped Settings
• Timer program which has the earlier start time will be placed first in the timer program list, and be given priority over
the programs with the later start time when timer programs overlap.
• When timer programs overlap, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the later recording will be cut off.
• When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.
• A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the middle.
• Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
