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!

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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

Plug & Play Set

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

This unit sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when 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.

TTENTION:

● If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. (

● Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may not receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure.

墌 pg. 20 – 21)

1 Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌 pg. 17) 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.

NOTES:

● Auto Clock Set is performed first. “AUTO” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.

● 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 complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set” ( “Tuner Set” ( channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” (

(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.

墌 pg. 20)

What to do if Plug & Play setting failed

Free Rate Function

To record the entire program, the unit automatically set the appropriate recording mode 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).

8 To record the entire program within the actual remaining disc space

Select “FR (JUST)” in a recording mode selection procedure. (墌 pg. 41, 42)

● Note that this function is available only for timer programing recording.

8 To record the entire program by specifying the desired recording time

Select “FR60–FR360”, “FR420” or “FR480” in a recording mode selection procedure. (墌 pg. 38, 41, 42)

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

Perform “VCR Plus+ sure to set the recording mode to “FR125” and set Weekly/Daily Rec Function to “MON–FRI” in step 6 to fit the total recording time to the whole disc space.

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.

● 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”. (墌 pg. 74)

NOTE:

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.

VCR Plus+® Timer Programing

You can program this unit to timer-record as many as 8 programs. With the VCR Plus+ system, timer programing is greatly simplified because each TV program has a corresponding code number which your unit is able to recognize. You can use the remote control to enter the PlusCode number.

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

● Turn on the unit.

● Turn on the TV and select the video channel (or AV mode).

8 Region Code

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are grouped into six regions, each region being identified by a specified Region Code (or region number). If the Region Code given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the Region Code of a player, the player can play back the disc.

8 Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

8 Surround

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
