INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
(A)Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
(B)Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit
into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
2. Power Sources
Operate your product only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

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 program on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title. In addition,
chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is
paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo due to
commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks
at desired locations during playback. (A pg. 25)
When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title. Marks are
assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes during
recording. In addition, chapter marks are automatically inserted
when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to
stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is possible to insert
chapter marks at desired locations during playback. Once the disc
has been finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new
chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every
5minutes.

Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the
MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the
alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.
● This unit can recognize up to 9 hierarchies including directories
and files.
Also, it can recognize up to 250 files in each group, and up to
99 groups on a disc.
NOTES:
● Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)
The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and
played back according to the instructions on the screen while
navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback
recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function
even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. (A pg. 26)
● Regarding the contents recorded on discs
Some files may not be played back depending on the file types
and other factors.

Label side facing up
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, programs are recorded on 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.
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 dirty 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 INFORMATION
EN 11
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.

● Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all
the channels that are receivable by your unit. During Auto
Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are
scanned and set.
● When Plug & Play setting has been completed successfully, the
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting
successfully, there is no need to perform ACLOCK SETB
(A pg. 19) and ATUNER SETB (A pg. 20). If, however, you want

INFORMATION
● If AAUTO CLOCKB is set to AONB (A pg. 19) the clock will be
adjusted automatically by the host channel using the incoming
PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock
adjustment can only be performed when the unit is turned off.)
● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or
because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be
performed when power is restored to the unit.
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you
may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from
an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a
cable TV system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set”
(A pg. 19) or “Manual Clock Set” (A pg. 19).
● If A- - : - -B appears on the front display panel, your antenna
cable may not be connected to the unit or there may not be a
Host PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the
antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the
unit; the Plug & Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If
Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable
is connected correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” (A pg. 19)
and “Auto Channel Set” (A pg. 20) or “Manual Channel Set”
(A pg. 20).
