TTENTION

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate this product and keep this booklet for future reference.

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 power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. If your product is intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

4. Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

5. Ventilation

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.

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.

This unit sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when the AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

Perform Plug & Play setup.

Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌 pg. 18) Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the unit. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” (

墌 pg. 27).

INFORMATION

● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (墌 pg. 24), the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the unit is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (

● 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” ( or “Manual Clock Set” (

● If “– –:– –” 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.

● After the unit has memorized the resume point for 30 discs, remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for which a resume point is already stored may change the order in which the points are stored. This may potentially change the order in which points are deleted.

● When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.

● This function may not work for some Video CD or SVCD.

● When “RESUME” is changed to “ON” or “OFF”, resume

points of the discs memorized with “RESUME” set to “DISC RESUME” will be cleared.

Free Rate Function

To record the entire program, the unit automatically set the appropriate recording speed depending on the combination of the total time of the program to be recorded and either the remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480 minutes).

To record the entire program within the actual remaining disc space

Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording speed selection procedure. (

To record the entire program by specifying the desired recording time

Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording speed selection procedure. (

To record a 25-min. long daily program five times just on a same disc for example

Perform “VCR Plus+® Timer Programing” (墌 pg. 60) procedure. Be sure to set the recording speed to “FR125” and set Weekly/ Daily Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in step E to fit the total recording time to the whole disc space.

When the same program is recorded in SP mode instead of in “FR125”, the 5th program cannot be recorded.

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

D:4th E: 5th

NOTES:

● You can program 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 program. To avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer-programing. (Example) If you programed 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, 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-programing a long program in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining time is short, it is recommended checking the disc remaining time in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the program.

● It may not be possible to play back some discs recorded in FR420 or FR480 mode on some other units.

● Even if more than one program are timer-programed 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.

Second Audio Recording

This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. (

NOTES:

When the channel is changed on the unit;

● The “MONO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a monaural broadcast.

● The “STEREO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a stereo broadcast.

● Both “STEREO” and “SAP” indicators appear when a stereo program is accompanied by SAP sound.

● Both “MONO” and “SAP” indicators appear when the main audio on the monaural broadcast is accompanied by SAP sound.

TIMER RECORDING (cont.)

The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide channel to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the guide channel numbers assigned to each station. To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ “Guide Channel Numbers” for each station. If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station’s channel number has been changed, perform the following steps to set the correct guide channel numbers.

NOTES:

TIMER RECORDING (cont.)

To make the disc for On-Disc Timer Programing

Programing

On-Disc Timer Programing is a function used with discs that are especially intended for a specific program. The disc is then programed for a program you always watch every day or every week. Since older programs are automatically overwritten, a single DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc can be used without worrying about how much recording capacity remains. (

墌 pg. 68, “How discs are overwritten”)

You can program each disc to timer-record as many as 8 programs.

Before performing On-Disc Timer Programing:

● Turn on the unit.

● Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.

● Slide the TV/CABLE/DBS/DVD switch to DVD.

● Make sure that the unit’s built-in clock is set

properly.

TTENTION:

If data is recorded on a disc for On-Disc Timer Programing using a unit from another manufacturer, On-Disc Timer Programing may no longer function properly.
