DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called AtitlesB. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called AchaptersB. 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. 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. 26)

When you record a programme 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 finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5minutes.

DISC INFORMATION

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!

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.

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the

broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.

Selection Of The Audio Channel To Be Recorded On A Disc

When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel (ANICAM1/MAINB, ANICAM2/SUBB or AMONOB) to be recorded on the disc. (A pg. 62)

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to AAudio Channel SelectionB (A pg. 27).

NOTES:

● You can programme this unit to timer record, regardless of the

disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, it is not possible to record until the end of the timer programme. (Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120 minutes disc, the disc remaining time would be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480 mode. Timer recording will not complete beyond these remaining times.

● The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as

the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time in FR480 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.

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 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to AOFFB if PDC is not available on your selected channel. (See step 6 on page 38.).

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 via the [L-1 IN/OUT]

connector.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/ PDC signal

A Press DISPLAY for 5 or more seconds. AVPS/PDCB is

displayed on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will blink at a slower rate.
