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.

To lock tray While the unit is turned off, press and hold 8, then press x (OPEN/CLOSE) on the unit. “LOCK” appears on the front display

panel and the disc tray is locked.

To unlock tray While the unit is turned off, press and hold 8, then press x (OPEN/CLOSE) on the unit. “UNLOCK” appears on the front

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. (墌 pg. 21 – 22)

● 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.

INITIAL SETTINGS

EN 19

1 Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (墌 pg. 16 – 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.

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 completed successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set” (墌 pg. 21) and “Tuner Set” (墌 pg. 22). If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” (墌 pg. 22).

INFORMATION

● If “AUTO CLOCK ” is set to “ON” (墌 pg. 21), 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”. (墌 pg. 21)

● 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” (墌 pg. 21) or “Manual Clock Set” (

墌 pg. 21).

● 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. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” (

墌 pg. 21) and “Auto Channel Set”

(墌 pg. 22) or “Manual Channel Set” (墌 pg. 22).

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed and “AUTO” blinks as they are scanned and set.

Plug&Play Completed

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 to check 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.
