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. 27)

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.

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.

NOTES:

● You can programme 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 programme. To avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer-programming. (Example) If you programmed 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-programming a long programme 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 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.

Receiving Stereo And Bilingual Programmes

Your unit is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible. When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

Satellite Receiver Users

To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Manual Timer programming:

A Perform “Satellite Receiver Control Setting” (墌 pg. 21). B Perform “Manual Timer Programming” (墌 pg. 44). In step 8,

press AUX to change “TV PROG” to “SAT”. Then press rt to enter the channel position for the satellite broadcast. In step 9, you cannot set “VPS/PDC” to “ON”. C Leave the satellite receiver’s power on.

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 video 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.

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 when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/DECODER connector on your unit.

● 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 Hold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate. B Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.

On-Disc Timer Programming

On-Disc Timer programming is a function used with discs that are especially intended for a specific programme. The disc is then programmed for a programme you always watch every day or every week. Since older programmes are automatically overwritten, a single DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc can be used without worrying about how much recording capacity remains. (墌 pg. 46) You can programme each disc to timer-record as many as 8 programmes.

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

● Turn on the unit.

● Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.

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

TTENTION:

● On-Disc Timer programming is possible only with the disc for OnDisc Timer programming.

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

B.E.S.T. Picture System

The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference. (墌 pg. 53)

Playback

The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

● The unit adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use.

● B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “BEST” appears blinking on the front display panel.

● “BEST” only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.

Recording

The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate recording.

● The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

TTENTION:

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the unit is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

A Press and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record Pause mode.

● The unit then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record Pause mode.

B Press 4 to start recording. If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF”.

8 Chapter

Refers to individual chapters included in a title.

8 Composite video signal

Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique; burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction; and synchronization signal.

8 Component video signal

A video signal system where parts of information necessary for reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such as R/G/B, Y/P

B/PR, etc., are available.

8 Disc menu

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD disc.

8 Dolby Digital (AC-3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a subwoofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

8 Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

8 DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

8 Interlaced scan

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

8 JPEG

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

8 Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies in the centre of a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has resulted from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

8 Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

8 MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R/RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

8 MPEG

A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.

8 Multiangle

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the multiangle function.

8 Multichannel

DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.

8 Multilanguage

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is generally called a multilanguage title.

8 NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

8 PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

8 Parental Lock

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental lock level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.

8 Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on Video CD/SVCDs for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD/ SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

8 Progressive scan

Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

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.

8 Transfer rate

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system for high efficiency.
