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. 49)

When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

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.

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.

TIMER RECORDING

Weekly/Daily Recording

You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily timer settings.

WEEKLY: Select to record a weekly programme. MON–FRI: Select to record a daily programme from Monday

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 Press DVD so that the DVD lamp lights up on the unit. B 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. C Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.

TIMER RECORDING

On-Disc Timer Programming (DVD Deck Only)

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. 33) 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/DVD switch to DVD.

NOTES:

● Live Memory Playback could be performed approximately 30 seconds after recording has started.

● Although high-speed search up to approximately 30 seconds before the current recording point is possible during Live Memory Playback, once the current recording point is reached, the unit resumes normal playback and maintains a delay of approximately 30 seconds so that recording and playback can continue.

● When using Live Memory Playback during timer recording, playback continues even after the end of the recording.

● When using Live Memory Playback during timer recording, playback is automatically stopped just before recording starts, and then recording starts when the time arrives for the next timer-programme.

● It is impossible to perform ITR even if you press 7 during Live Memory Playback. (墌 pg. 51) Press 8 to display the programme being recorded, then perform ITR settings.

● Playback may be paused for a moment during Live Memory Playback, which does not interfere with recording.

● Live Memory Playback cannot be performed while recording the source from DV input. (墌 pg. 41, “DV Dubbing (DVD Deck Only)”)

● When LIVE CHECK is pressed to display the picture currently being recorded, the picture size may not be correct.

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.

Type of Broadcast Being Received

On-screen Display

A2 Stereo A2 Bilingual Regular Monaural NICAM Stereo NICAM Bilingual NICAM Monaural

NOTES:

● “SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to “AUTO”. Otherwise the on-screen displays will not appear. (墌 pg. 79)

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.

Selection Of The Audio Channel To Be Recorded On A Disc

When a programme is recorded on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc in VR mode, all audio channels of the receiving programme are recorded on the disc. When you record a programme on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in video mode, select the desired audio channel (from among “NICAM 1/MAIN”, “NICAM 2/SUB”, “MONO”) to be recorded on the disc. (墌 pg. 79)

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to “Audio Channel Selection” on page 50.

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 to check 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.

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. 81)

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”. (墌 pg. 81)

8 AUTO POWER OFF — OFF / 3H

When this function is set to “3H”, the unit is turned off automatically if no operation is done with 3 hours.

Scan Mode Set

If you connect the unit and TV with Component Video Connection (墌 pg. 15), you can select the scan mode from two modes: Interlaced scan mode which is used in the conventional TV system, and Progressive scan mode which enables reproduction of higher-quality images.

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 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.

TTENTION:

● Your TV needs to be compatible with Progressive.

● Make sure that there is no disc in the unit.

● Turn on the unit.

● Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.

● Slide the TV/DVD switch to DVD.

You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system to “ON” or “OFF”.

NOTES:

● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well.

● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this unit as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference.

● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress. (墌 pg. 36)

● In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-performed.

● Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording. (墌 pg. 61)

The Just Clock function provides accurate time keeping through automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by reading data from a PDC signal. The Just Clock option can be set to “ON” or “OFF” at the Clock Set screen (the default setting is “OFF”).

IMPORTANT:

If you turn off Just Clock, the accuracy of your unit’s built-in clock may be reduced, which could adversely effect timer recording. We recommend you to keep Just Clock on. In cases where the clock setting data from a PDC signal is incorrect, however, you are advised to keep Just Clock set to “OFF”.
