● The above table is based on the information as of February 2004.

● Recording and playback may not be performed depending on the

characteristics and condition of the disc used, leading to unsatisfactory results. Using discs manufactured by JVC is recommended since they have been tested to be compatible with this unit.

DVD-RAM Discs

It is only possible to use discs which conform with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.

● It is impossible to record on DVD-RAM discs which do not conform to

this standard. If you use a disc formatted under a different standard version, format it on this unit before use.

● It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM

disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the disc.

● Some DVD-RAM discs are contained in a cartridge. This unit cannot

handle this type of disc. Remove the disc from the cartridge (only discs with a removable cartridge); or the use of DVD-RAM discs not contained in a cartridge is recommended.

● DVD-RAM discs recorded on this unit cannot be played back on an

incompatible DVD player.

● It is possible to record copy-once programmes of digital broadcasts

only onto 4.7/9.4 GB DVD-RAM discs (2.8 GB DVD-RAM discs are not compatible).

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. (墌 pg. 23)

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.

File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

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 recognise up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files. Also, it can recognise 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. (

● Regarding the contents recorded on discs

● Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc on the disc tray.

● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

Discs without cartridges

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.

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 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.
