File Structure of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (

When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

Discs without cartridges

Care and Handling of Discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface.

Recording side

Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from cartridge then put back in after use.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Disc tray

● Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges

Double-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with “Side A” facing down, programmes are recorded on the side A.

Single-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

A:1st B: 2nd C:3rd

D:4th E: 5th

NOTES:

●

You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer-programming.

(Example)

●

The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as the recording time of EP mode. When timer-programming a long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended checking the disc remaining time in EP mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the programme.

●

Even if more than one programme are timer-programmed in FR (JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.

●

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.

●

There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the disc where the unit switches the mode.

If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120-minute disc, the disc remaining time would be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP mode, and 180 minutes in EP mode. Timer-recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible. When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video unit and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This means that your unit will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

NOTES:

●

When you use Manual Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●

VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/ DECODER connector on your unit.

●

VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT connector.
