Safety Precaution for Repair
1-1 Cautions
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not
evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using
replacement components rated for a higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these
special safety characteristics are identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such
features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and the parts list in this Service Manual.
The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as
the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create
shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are
issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual.
A subscription to, or additional copies for, HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal
charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.
CAUTION
There is a high-voltage section inside the DVD video
recorder. When repairing or inspecting it, take great care
to prevent electric shock: Use an isolating transformer,

Safety Precaution for Repair > Electrostatic Protection Measures / Cautions When Handling DVD Drive
1-2 Electrostatic Protection Measures
Semiconductor components can be damaged by static electricity charged on clothes, human body,
etc. Take great care when handling components to avoid electrostatic damage, and perform
servicing in an environment where grounding is complete.
(1) Grounding work bench
Lay out an antistatic mat on work bench, and then use the ground plate to ground the work bench.
Antistatic mat
1M ohm
Ground
(2) Grounding human body
Use an antistatic wrist strap to discharge any static electricity charged on the body. Also, use a
tester for wrist strap to make sure that the wrist strap is working normally. Note, however, that
static electricity charged on clothes will not be discharged by wrist strap: Therefore do not allow
your clothes to touch the semiconductor components.
Antistatic wrist strap
1M ohm
1-3 Cautions When Handling DVD Drive
The optical pickup in DVD drive has a high precision structure: Be sure to observe the following
cautions.
1) Do not subject optical pickups to any severe vibrations or
impact during movement, installation or disassembly.
2) When performing repair work, do not perform disassembly
any further than that described in this manual.
3) Never turn the semi-variable resistors for adjustment in
optical pickup or DVD drive.
4) NEVER look into the objective lens in optical pickup or
directly view the laser light: You could lose your eyesight.
Do not directly look at laser light
from pickup.

Safety Precaution for Repair > Lead-Free Solder
1-4 Lead-Free Solder
The printed circuit board that uses lead-free solder is adopted. To protect the global environment,
use the recommended lead-free solder also during servicing.
Read and observe the following before soldering:
Caution
ALWAYS wear protective goggles during soldering so that no solder smoke or scattered solder
enters the eye. Lead-free solder may scatter at high temperatures of 600°C.
(1) Characteristics of lead-free solder
The melting point of lead-free solder is 30-40°C higher than that of lead based solder.
(2) Lead-free solder for servicing
Use the following lead-free solder for servicing:
Recommended lead-free solder and composition of alloy (wt%): Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu or equivalent
Information:
For composition of alloy, Sn is tin; Ag is silver; Cu is copper; Bi is bismuth; Pb is lead.
(3) Soldering iron for servicing
The temperature of soldering iron tip must be adjusted according to the points to be soldered: Use
an antistatic soldering iron with thermal control function.
When removing components, take care not to damage any surrounding component or pattern. When
attaching components, observe the heating time in the following table so that the components are
not destroyed by heat.
Tip temperatures for different soldering points:
Point to be soldered
Surface-mounted (chip) parts [other than
those shown below]
Surface-mounted (chip) parts [for DVD
cameras, cellular phones only]
Discrete parts
Chassis, metal shield, etc.
320 ± 30°C
[heating time: less than 5 seconds]
350 ± 10°C
[heating time: less than 3 seconds]
380 ± 30°C
420 ± 30°C
Tip temperature
(4) Cautions when using lead based solder
It is recommended that you use lead-free solder when servicing, but it is also possible to service
using lead based solder. However, if lead based solder is used for servicing, take care with the
following:
1) Before using lead based solder, remove the lead-free solder completely from the point to be
soldered.
2) For additional soldering for repair, set the soldering iron tip temperature for lead-free solder, mix
lead based solder and lead-free solder sufficiently. Do not perform any repair using the bare
soldering iron tip without adding solder, since it will cause secondary failure due to lack of
strength.

General Description > Overview
About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc
How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?
The essential difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW
is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW
is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/
erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.
Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD
player?
Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in
Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but
they must be ‘finalized’ first. This process fixes the
contents of the disc to make them readable to other
DVD players as DVD-Video discs.
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode
are playable in some players.
This indicates a product feature that is
capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded
with Video Recording format.
What are ‘recording modes’?
There are two recording modes available using this
recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to
a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode.
DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording
or Video mode recording.
VR mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings
available (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Not playable on regular DVD players
• Recordings can be extensively edited
Video mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings
available (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
• Limited editing features
Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?
No. When you edit a video tape you need one video
deck to play the original tape and another to record the
edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what
to play and when to play it. On playback, the recorder
plays the disc according to the Playlist.
About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’
Throughout this manual, you will often see the words
Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and
the edited version.
• Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded on
the disc.
• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the
disc — how the Original content is to be played.
About DVD+R and DVD+RW disc
How are DVD+R and DVD+RW discs different?
The essential difference between DVD+R and DVD+RW
is that DVD+R is a record-once medium, while
DVD+RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can
re-record/ erase a DVD+RW disc approximately 1,000
times.
DVD+RW mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings
available (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players
• The edited contents is playable on regular DVD
players only after finalizing
• Recordings can be edited the title/chapter
DVD+R mode recording
• 4 different picture quality/recording time settings
available (XP, SP, LP, EP)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
• Any edited contents are not be compatible on regular
DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter
mark, etc.)
• Limited title/chapter editing features
ote
DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for
recording on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs that
was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may
therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD
discs in some players. Symptoms include video
artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback
suddenly stopping.
Our company cannot take responsibility for problems
playing discs recorded on this recorder in other players.

DVD. And images edited on DVD can be dubbed onto VHS videotape.
3. High-quality image design
1) VBR (Variable Bit Rate control) format ensures both high image quality and long-time recording:
This DVD recorder uses a VBR recording format that increases the compression ratio with simple
images and decreases it with complex images of larger amounts of data, thus variably controlling
to the optimum compression ratio: It reduces deterioration in image quality and effectively
records on DVD.
2) Progressive playback makes possible the playback of generally available DVD movies, with
natural images and reduced flickering:
This DVD recorder plays back clear images even on a large screen with reduced jagging on
diagonal lines or characters, and reduced flickering.
4. Enhanced functions

Function to correct the gradations on dark portions to make dark scenes easierto-see.
Content Protection for Recordable Media: Copyright protection function that is
suitable for online distribution of music.
One type of DVD standard disc, to which writing once is possible (recordable
type)
One type of CD standard disc, to which writing up to 1000 times is possible
Used for outputs of HDTV video signal format. Since signals for brightness and
colors are independently handled for components signals (Y: luminance signal;
PR/PB: chrominance signals), degrading of image will be reduced.
A device that decodes the data coded and recorded on DVD Video and restores it
to video and audio signals. This processing is referred to as decoding.
A difference between maximum and minimum levels of audio recorded on disc:
Measured in decibel (dB) units. If the dynamic range is compressed (audio DRC),
the minimum signal level will increase and the maximum signal level will
decrease: This will reduce the higher audio signal - such as burst sound - so that
the low-level audio signal - such as human voice - can be heard more clearly.
Audio coding format developed by Dolby Laboratories in U.S, also simply
referred as AC3 format: Supports 5-channel full-range sound and one channel
for sub-woofer sound playback.
Dynamic Range Control: Adjusting the audio range of maximum and minimum
levels (dynamic range) will improve audio signal when, for example, dialog is
hard to hear or user is watching movies late at night.
Digital Theater System: Sound system as for movie theaters developed by US
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. The number of channels provided by DTS is the
same for Dolby AC3.
Digital Versatile Disc. A huge amount of digital data for video (movie) and audio
can be recorded on this disc, whose size is the same as CD.
One type of DVD standard disc, on which high-quality audio can be recorded
One type of DVD standard disc, to which writing once is possible (recordable
type)
One type of DVD standard disc, to which writing up to 100,000 times is possible
One type of DVD standard disc, to which writing up to 1000 times is possible
One type of DVD standard disc, on which high-quality video and audio can be
recorded
Video recording/playback standard that applies to DVD-Video, DVD-R and DVDRW
Video recording/playback standard that applies to DVD-RAM and DVD-RW:
This allows versatile editing functions, differing from the DVD Video Format.
DVD recorders normally use data that is common between images, and
individually record different data for each image.
I-picture: Images recorded independently for the reference of commonly used
data.
P-picture: Images created from past I-picture or P-picture
B-picture: Images created from both I and P pictures, which interact between
both types
Since I-picture delivers the highest image quality, selecting I-picture is
recommended when adjusting image quality.

Explanation
Joint Photographic Expert Group: International standard format for
compressing still images.
Moving Picture Experts Group: Standard related to compression of digital video
and audio. MPEG2 is a higher standard of MPEG and is applied to video (movie)
requiring higher quality.
One of three audio compression standards (layers 1-3) defined by MPEG
MPEG1 Audio Layer-3: Audio data digital compression technology.
Audio is usually converted to an electrical signal and transmitted from DVD to a
device such as amp: When audio is converted to a digital signal, this optical
digital audio output can be transmitted on optical fiber.
Most DVD videos are produced assuming that they will be displayed on wide TV
screen (aspect ratio of 16:9): If they are displayed on TV screens with 4:3 aspect
ratio, 16:9 images will not quite fit on 4:3 screens. There are two ways of
displaying 16:9 images on 4:3 TV:
· Pan & Scan: Cuts out the left and right ends of images and displays them on
whole screen.
· Letterbox: Reproduces 16:9 images on 4:3 screens with black bands across the
top and bottom of screen.
One format to play Video CD: User can select desired screens and data while
watching the displayed menu screen.
This function converts interlaced images to non-interlaced images and displays
them. It can play back 24-frame/second images included in DVD movie software,
etc.
The video signal is separated into chrominance (C) and luminance (L) signals
and transmitted to TV: This delivers clearer images.
Sampling slices audio waves (analog signal) at a specified time interval, and
digitizes the levels of the sliced waves. The slicing number per second is referred
to as the sampling frequency: The higher the number, the closer the sound to
the original.
Secure Digital Music Initiative: This conference was established by hardware
makers, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and music
industry companies, to protect copyrights of musical compositions.
To make adjustment for clearer playback image, by reducing noise that appears
on screen during videotape playback.
V
Virtual surround
W
WMA
This technology localizes sound at any position using only two front speakers, by
subjecting the L and R signals to matrix operation. It uses the four transfer
functions from L/R speakers located at specified positions to both ears of listener
located in a specified position, taking into account the shape of head and the
effect of earlobes, and the two transfer functions from any position to both ears.
Windows Media Audio: Codec that was developed by Microsoft Corporation in
