DISC INFORMATION

Recordable/Playable Discs

You can use discs with the following logos for recording and playback.

● The above table is based on the information as of April 2005.

● 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.

● 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).

DVD-R/RW Discs

It is only possible to use DVD-R discs which conform with DVD-R standard Version 2.0. When a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) is finalised (墌 pg. 90), it can be played back on a standard DVD player as a DVD VIDEO disc. When a DVD-RW disc (VR mode) is finalised (墌 pg. 90), it can be played back on a standard DVD player compatible with the VR mode of DVD-RW discs.

Before finalising —

— it is possible to record on unrecorded areas of the disc, edit the disc title and programme titles, and delete programmes.

● It is impossible to record or edit DVD-R/RW discs recorded on other devices even if they have not been finalised.

● It is impossible to overwrite recorded areas of DVD-R discs.

● Available recording capacity does not increase even if a recorded

programme is deleted from a DVD-R disc.

After finalising —

After a DVD-R/RW disc (Video mode) has been finalised, it is possible to play back the recorded programmes (video and/or audio) on a standard DVD video player as a DVD VIDEO disc.

● Edited titles are displayed as the “DVD menu” in video mode.

● It is impossible to record, edit or delete the data either in video mode or in VR mode.

● Either in video mode or in VR mode, although the disc can be played back on DVD players from other manufacturers, sometimes it may not be possible to play back depending on the disc and recording conditions.

● It is impossible to record on CD-R/RW or DVD-R discs used for authoring.

● It is impossible to record onto DVD-R/RW (Video mode) discs broadcasts that allow you to copy once. The copy-once programmes can only be recorded onto DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode.

NOTE:

The following may result if you play back a DVD-R disc recorded on another unit.

● The disc does not play.

● A mosaic pattern (block noise) appears on the screen.

● Video or audio may be dropped out.

● The unit stops during playback.

Discs For Playback Only

You can use discs with the following logos for playback only.

● Playback may not be performed depending on the characteristics and condition of the disc used.

● DTS Audio CDs can also be played back (An optional DTS decoder is required).

● MP3 and JPEG discs can be played back on this unit only when they have been recorded in the ISO9660 or Joliet format and finalised.

● JPEG files that can be played back on this unit must conform to JFIF/ Baseline process, and the maximum resolution of a JPEG file is 2,812 x 2,112 pixels.

● CD-R/RW discs recorded in music CD format need to be finalised to play back on this unit.

● Operation and audio quality of this unit are not guaranteed for discs that do not conform to the Compact Disc specification (CD-DA). Before you play back a CD, check for the CD logo and read the notes on the package to confirm that it conforms to the Compact Disc specification.

● Depending on the intentions of the author of the software, recording conditions of DVD discs and Video CD discs may be restricted. Since this unit plays back discs according to the intentions of the author of the software as indicated on the disc, some functions may not operate as commanded.

● When switching from the first layer to the second layer of doublelayered DVD VIDEO discs, the image and sound may be momentarily distorted. This is not a malfunction.

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. 49)

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.

● In Video mode, even before finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programmes and/or titles.

● After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations.

Caution for DualDisc playback

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

Audio CD/Video CD/Super Video CD (SVCD)

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD discs. However, some discs are not divided into tracks.

JPEG/MP3 Disc (CD-R/RW/ROM)

MP3/JPEG files put in directories nested in several levels on a disc will be organised as if they were put in single level directories (groups) by the MP3/JPEG Navigation of this unit. (墌 pg. 72)

File structure of a disc before starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

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 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. (

墌 pg. 50)

● Regarding the contents recorded on discs

Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other factors.

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Placing A Disc

Opening the disc tray

Press x (OPEN/CLOSE) to open the disc tray.

● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.

● Use the button to open and close the disc tray.

● Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing

as this may result in hardware failure.

● 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.

Single-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 label side facing up.

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.
