SECTION 1

PRECAUTION

1.1 SAFTY PRECAUTIONS

Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform with the recognized product safety and electrical codes of the countries in which they are to be sold.However,in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the following precautions when a set is being serviced.

1.1.1 Precautions during Servicing

(1) Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels

and inscriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of the product.When performing service, be sure to read and comply with these and other cautionary notices appearing in the operation and service manuals.

(2) Parts identified by the symbol and shaded ( ) parts

are critical for safety. Replace only with specified part numbers.

NOTE :

Parts in this category also include those specified to comply with X-ray emission standards for products using cathode ray tubes and those specified for compliance with various regulations regarding spurious radiation emission.

(3) Fuse replacement caution notice.

Caution for continued protection against fire hazard. Replace only with same type and rated fuse(s) as specified.

(4) Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:

• Wires covered with PVC tubing

• Double insulated wires

• High voltage leads

(5) Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.

Note especially:

• Insulation Tape

• PVC tubing

•Spacers

• Insulation sheets for transistors

•Barrier

(6) When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,

power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of wires securely about the terminals before soldering.

Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cathode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts. Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value and cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.

(12) Crimp type wire connectorIn such cases as when replacing

the power transformer in sets where the connections between the power cord and power trans former primary lead wires are performed using crimp type connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in order to prevent safety hazards, perform carefully and precisely according to the following steps.

• Connector part number :E03830-001

• Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type which will not damage insulated parts.

• Replacement procedure

a) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a

point close to the connector.Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).

cut close to connector

Fig.1-1-3

b) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends

of the wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to avoid frayed conductors.

15 mm

Fig.1-1-4

c) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. In-

sert the wires fully into the connector.

Metal sleeve

Fig.1-1-1

(7) Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts

(heatsinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors, etc.)

(8) Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or

pointed parts.

(9) When a power cord has been replaced, check that 10-15

kg of force in any direction will not loosen it.

Power cord

Fig.1-1-2 (10) Also check areas surrounding repaired locations. (11) Products using cathode ray tubes (CRTs)In regard to such

products, the cathode ray tubes themselves, the high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for compliance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.

1.2 Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Handling Precautions

The HDD is a precision device for use in reading and writing a large amount of data on or from a disk rotating at a high speed. If it is not handled carefully, either abnormal operation may result or it may not be possible to read data. The HDD is sensitive to the following items and special care is required in safeguarding against them when handling an HDD. Also take care in handling a set incorporating an HDD.

(1) Vibrations and impacts (2) Static electricity (3) Rough handling

1.2.1 Handling in transport, etc.

• Be sure to place the HDD in the manufacturer's specified package carton before transport.

• When receiving a package containing an HDD, check that the package carton is not damaged (such as having holes in the carton, crushed corners, etc.).

• Do not impact the packaging carton when loading or unloading

HDD Do not throw or drop packages.

it.

• It is not permitted to use the inner package carton only for transporting an HDD.

• Do not stack package cartons one upon another.

Be sure to package and transport the HDDs correctly.

1.2.2 Handling an HDD in the stand-alone status

• When handling an HDD on a hard workbench, place an antistatic mat (rubber sheet) or similar object on the hard surface (to prevent any impacts occurring between the HDD and bench).

• Do not stack the HDDs one upon another.

• Do not knock an HDD with a hard object (such as a screwdriver).

• Do not place an HDD on its side panel without using a support (do not place an HDD in an unstable position).

1.2.3 Handling the installation of an HDD

• Place antistatic mats or similar sheets on all of the surfaces on which work is conducted or when the HDD is transported.

• Do not permit the HDD to knock against the set's brackets.

• When screwing the brackets, be careful not to knock the HDD. When using a power screwdriver, use a low-shock model and arrange the tightening torque properly.

• When mounting an HDD in a main body, take care not to apply excessive force to the brackets.

2.2 Service position

This unit has been designed so that the Mechanism and Main board assemblies can be removed together from the bottom chassis. Before diagnosing or servicing the circuit boards, take out the major parts from the bottom chassis.

2.2.1 How to set the "Service position"

(1) Refer to the disassembly procedure and perform the disas-

sembly of the major parts before removing the Mechanism assembly.

(2) Remove the screws that fix the Mechanism, Main board as-

sembly to the bottom chassis. If any other screws are used to fix the boards, remove them also.

(3) Remove the combined Mechanism, HDD, DVD unit,

switching regulator, digital, junction and Main board as-

semblies. (4) If any other major parts are used, remove them also. (5) Connect the wires and connectors of the major parts that

have been removed in steps (1) to (4). (Refer to Fig. 2-2a.) (6) Place the combined Mechanism, Main board and other

board assemblies upside down. (7) Insert the power cord plug into the power outlet and then

proceed with the diagnostics and servicing of the board as-

sembly.

Notes:

• Before inserting the power cord plug into the power out-

let, make sure that none of the electrical parts are able to short-circuit between the workbench and the board assembly.

• For the disassembly procedure of the major parts and

details of the precautions to be taken, see "Removing the major parts".

• If there are wire connections from the Main board and

Mechanism assemblies to the other major parts, be sure to remove them (including wires connected to the major parts) first before performing step (2).

• When carrying out diagnosis and repair of the Main

board assembly in the "Service position", be sure to ground both the Main board and Mechanism assemblies. If they are improperly grounded, there may be noise on the playback picture or FDP counter display may move even when the mechanism is kept in an inoperative status.

2.3 Jig RCU mode

This unit uses the following two modes for receiving remote control codes.

(1) User RCU mode:Ordinary mode for use by the user.

(2) Jig RCU mode: Mode for use in production and servicing. When using the Jig RCU, it is required to set the unit to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which codes from the Jig RCU can be received). As both of the above two modes are stored in the EEPROM, it is required to set the unit back to the User RCU mode each time that an adjustment is made or to check that the necessary operations have been completed.These modes can be set by the operations described below.

Note:

• When the unit is set to Jig RCU mode and when the unit

is under Jig RCU mode, the remote control unit attached to product operates only in "Remote Control Code 1". Since the unit is in "Remote Control Code 3" when it is shipped and just after its batteries are changed, "Remote Control Code 3" needs to be changed to "Remote Control Code 1."

• Confirm the RCU mode when exchanged parts. Since

some SERVICE PARTS sets the unit to the Jig RCU mode as initial setting. Therefore please set the unit to the user RCU mode after replacing the EEPROM.

2.3.3 Setting the User RCU mode

(1) Turn off the power.

(2) Press the "REC" and "PAUSE" buttons of the VCR simul-

taneously. Alternatively, transmit the code "43-9D" from the Jig RCU.

2.4 Mechanism service mode

This model has a unique function to enter the mechanism into every operation mode without loading of any cassette tape. This function is called the "Mechanism service mode".

2.4.1 How to set the "Mechanism service mode"

(1) Set the unit to the Jig RCU mode (the mode in which codes

from the Jig RCU can be received) (2) Transmit the code "43-E5" from the Jig RCU. (3) Release the lug of the Cassette holder and then slide the

Cassette holder toward the direction where the Cassette

holder is loaded by manually. (4) The cassette holder lowers and, when the loading has

completed, the mechanism enters the desired mode.

When the unit is set to the Mechanism service mode, the

symbols ("TIMER") in the FDP (LED) are blinked.

2.4.2 How to exit from the "Mechanism service mode"

(1) Unplug the power cord plug from the power outlet.

2.5 Maintenance and inspection

2.5.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the transport system parts is desirable but practically impossible. So make it a rule to carry out cleaning of the tape transport system whenever the machine is serviced. When the video head, tape guide and/or brush get soiled, the playback picture may appear inferior or at worst disappear, resulting in possible tape damage.

Note:

• Absolutely avoid sweeping the upper drum vertically as

this will cause damage to the video head.

(1) When cleaning the upper drum (especially the video head),

soak a piece of closely woven cloth with alcohol and while

holding the cloth onto the upper drum by the fingers, turn

the upper drum counterclockwise. (2) To clean the parts of the tape transport system other than

the upper drum, use a piece of closely woven cloth or a cot-

ton swab soaked with alcohol. (3) After cleaning, make sure that the cleaned parts are com-

pletely dry before using the cassette tape.

2.5.2 Lubrication

With no need for periodical lubrication, you have only to lubricate new parts after replacement. If any oil or grease on contact parts is soiled, wipe it off and newly lubricate the parts.

Note:

• See the "mechanism assembly" diagram of the "parts

list" for the lubricating or greasing spots, and for the types of oil or grease to be used.

4.1.6 Manual tracking mode (Auto tracking ON/OFF) set-

ting

(1) In order to set to the manual tracking mode during tape

playback, press the “CHANNEL +/-”button on the unit simultaneously.

• When the manual tracking mode is set, the tracking is placed at the center position.

(2) Press “CHANNEL +/-” to adjust the tracking manually.

4.1.7 EVR Adjustment

Some of the electrical adjustments require the adjustment performed by the EVR system. The main unit have EEPROMs for storing the EVR adjustment data and user setups.

Notes:

• In the EVR adjustment mode, the value is varied with the

channel buttons (+, -). The adjusted data is stored when the setting mode changes (from PB to STOP, when the tape speed is changed, etc.). Take care to identify the current mode of each adjustment item when making an adjustment.

• When changing the address setting in the EVR adjust-

ment mode, use the Jig RCU or the remote controller having numeric keypad with which a numeric code can be directly input. The remote control code of the Jig RCU corresponds to each of the digit keys on the remote controller as follows.

4.2 Mechanism compatibility adjustment (VHS SECTION)

Notes:

• Although compatibility adjustment is very important, it

is not necessary to perform this as part of the normal servicing work. It will be required when you have replaced the A/C head, drum assembly or any part of the tape transport system.

• To prevent damaging the alignment tape in the compat-

ibility adjustment, prepare a cassette tape (for self-recording/playback), perform a test on it by transporting it and making sure that the tape is not bent by the tape transport mechanisms such as in the guide rollers.(See Fig.4-2b.)

(1) Play back the back tension cassette gauge (A). (2) Check that the indicated value on the left side gauge is

within the specified value (G).

(3) If the indicated value is not within the specified value (G),

perform the adjustment in a following procedure.(See Fig.4-2a.)

a) Remove the top frame, cassette holder and side

frames (L/R) all together. (Refer to the SERVICE MANUAL No.86700 [MECHANISM ASSEMBLY].)

b) Rotate the loading motor gear to move the control

plate so that the triangular stamping to the left of the “P”stamping is aligned with the stamping (a) on the main deck. This positioning is mode (B1).

c) Adjust by turning the adjustment pin so that the tip of

the tension arm is aligned with the stamping (b) on the main deck.

d) Rotate the reel disk (S) by about one turn clockwise

and make sure that the round hole of the adjustment pin is located in the “OK” range. If it is outside this

range, restart the adjustment from the beginning. After completion of the adjustment, rotate the loading gear motor to return it to the mode (B2) position.

(1) Play back the alignment tape (A1). (2) Apply the external trigger signal to D.FF (E), to observe

the V.PB FM waveform at the measuring point (D). (3) Set the VCR to the manual tracking mode. (4) Make sure that there is no significant level drop of the V.PB

FM waveform caused by the tracking operation, with its

generally parallel and linear variation ensured. Perform the

following adjustments when required. (See Fig. 4-2c.) (5) Reduce the V.PB FM waveform by the tracking operation.

If a drop in level is found on the left side, turn the guide roll-

er of the pole base assembly (supply side) with the roller

driver to make the V.PB FM waveform linear.

If a drop in level is on the right side, likewise turn the guide

roller of the pole base assembly (take-up side) with the

roller driver to make it linear. (See Fig. 4-2c.) (6) Make sure that the V.PB FM waveform varies in parallel

and linearly with the tracking operation again. When re-

quired, perform fine-adjustment of the guide roller of the

pole base assembly (supply or take-up side). (7) Unload the cassette tape once, play back the alignment

tape (A1) again and confirm the V.PB FM waveform. (8) After adjustment, confirm that the tape wrinkling does not

occur at the roller upper or lower limits. (See Fig. 4-2b.)

[Perform adjustment step (9) only for the models equipped

with SP mode and EP (or LP) mode.]

EU1: Head clog warning history

If the mechanism mode does not change to the next mode within 4 seconds after the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, while the mechanism is in the after-loading position (with the tape up against the pole base), [E:01] is identified and the power is switched OFF. However, if the tape loading is not completed within 4 seconds after the loading motor starts rotating in the loading direction, the tape is simply unloaded and ejected. No EMG data is recorded in this case.

When the mechanism mode cannot be changed to another mode even when the loading motor has rotated for more than 4 seconds in the unloading direction, [E:02] is identified and the power is turned off.

When the falling edje of the take-up reel pulse has not been generated for more than 4 seconds in the capstan rotating mode, [E:03] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off. In this case, however, the mechanism should be in position after tape loading. Note that the reel EMG is not detected during Slow/Frame advance operations.

When the drum FG pulse has not been input for more than 3 seconds in the drum rotating mode, [E:04] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.

If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7 seconds after the cassette housing has started the cassette ejection operation, [E:05] is identified, the drive direction is reversed to load the tape, the mode is switched to STOP mode with the pinch roller OFF, and the power is switched OFF. During the cassette insertion process, the drive direction is reversed and the cassette is ejected if the tape is not up against the pole base within about 3 seconds after the start of the cassette pullingin operation. If the cassette does not reach the eject position within about 0.7 seconds after the drive mode reversal operation, [E:05] is identified and the power is switched OFF immediately.

When the capstan FG pulse has not been generated for more than 1 second in the capstan rotating mode, [E:06] is identified, the pinch rollers are turned off and stopped, and the power is turned off.However, the capstan EMG is not detected in SLOW/ STILL modes. Note that, if the part number of the System Control IC begins with "MN" or "M3", the capstan EMG is not detected even during the FF/REW operation.

When short-circuiting of the SW power supply with GND has lasted for 0.5 second or more, [E:07] is identified, all the motors are stopped and the power is turned off.

When communication with a system computer of VHS side is not carried out because of the defective DVD unit, or when the DVD unit must be reset

When the DD FG pulse is not generated within 2.5 seconds, [E:09] is identified, the tilt motor is stopped and the power is turned off.

When the falling edge of the supply reel pulse has not been generated for more than 10 seconds in the capstan rotating mode, [E:0A] is identified and the cassette is ejected (but the power is not turned off). In this case, however, the mechanism should be in the position after tape loading (with the tape up against the pole base). Also note that the reel EMG is not detected during Slow/ Frame advance operations.

Presupposing the presence of the control pulse output in the PLAY mode, when the value obtained by mixing the two V.FM output channels (without regard to the A.FM output) has remained below a certain threshold level for more than 10 seconds, [E:U1] is identified and recorded in the emergency history. During the period in which the head clog is detected, the FDP shows "U:01" and the OSD repeats the "3 seconds of warning display" and the "7 seconds of noise picture display" alternately.

EMG code : "E:C1" or "E:U1" / FDP : "U:01" / OSD : "Try cleaning tape." or "Use cleaning cassette." The head clog warning is reset when the above-mentioned threshold has been exceeded for more than 2 seconds or the mode is changed to another mode than PLAY.

1. The mechanism is locked in the middle of the mode transition during a tape loading operation.

The mechanism overruns during the tape loading operation because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism mode normally. This problem is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure.

Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)

The mechanism is locked in the middle of mode transition.

Without an eject signal being sent from the SYSCON, unloading is attempted (i.e. Ejection is attempted while the tape is still inside the mechanism.) because the SYSCON cannot recognize the mechanism mode normally. This is due to a cause such as a rotary encoder failure. (Mechanism position: UPPER)

Power is not supplied to the loading MDA. (M12V/Vcc/Vref/ICP are disconnected in the middle.)

The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport modes (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;

3) The reel is rotating normally but an FG pulse is not generated due to the take-up reel sensor failure.

The supply reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport modes (REV SEARCH/REW, etc.) because;

1) The idler gear is not meshed with the supply reel gear because the mechanism mal-functions for

2) The idler gear is meshed with the supply reel gear, but incapable of winding due to too large a

3) The reel rotates normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure.

Power(SW5V) is not supplied to the reel sensor on the tape winding side.

The drum could not start or the drum rotation has stopped due to too large a load on the tape, because;

1) The tape tension is abnormally high;

2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) adheres to the tape.

The drum FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because;

1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle;

2) The FG pulse generator (hall device) of the drum is faulty.

The drum control voltage (DRUM CTL V) is not supplied to the MDA.

Power (M12V) is not supplied to the drum MDA.

The cassette cannot be ejected due to a failure in the drive mechanism of the housing.

When the housing load increases during ejection, the loading motor is stopped because of lack of headroom in its drive torque.

The sensor/switch for detecting the end of ejection are not functioning normally.

The loading motor drive voltage is lower than specified or power (M12V) is not supplied to the motor (MDA).

When the user attempted to eject a cassette, a foreign object (or perhaps the user's hand) was caught in the opening of the housing.

The capstan could not start or the capstan rotation has stopped due to too large a load on the tape, because;

1) The tape tension is abnormally high (mechanical lock);

2) The tape is damaged or a foreign object (grease, etc.) is adhered to the tape (occurrence of tape

The capstan FG pulse did not reach the System controller CPU because;

1) The signal circuit is disconnected in the middle;

8. The tilt motor drive MDA - IC is defective.

9. Auto-recovery of the DD tilting cannot take place due to overrun.

The supply reel pulse is not generated in the FWD transport mode (PLAY/FWD SEARCH/FF, etc.) because;

1) PLAY/FWD or SEARCH/FF is started while the tape in the inserted cassette is cut in the middle;

2) A mechanical factor caused tape slack inside and outside the supply reel side of the cassette shell.

3) The reel is rotating normally but the FG pulse is not generated due to a supply reel sensor failure.

The take-up reel pulse is not generated in the REV transport mode (REV SEARCH/REW, etc.).

5.4.7 Booting the system using the CD

The firmware of this device is stored in the Hard Disk Drive (HDD). If the firmware is collapsed for its contents, [LOADING] is repeatedly displayed on the FDP display of the main unit and the system becomes inoperative. The system operation cannot be resumed even if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC power source. In such a situation, the operation may be resumed on a temporary basis to normal using a CD that stores the firmware. This causes the firmware in the HDD to be updated and the system may be brought to a normal operation. Refer to the following descriptions for detail.

5.4.7.1 Downloading the firmware from JS-NET to create a booting disk

NOTE:

For details of creating the booting disk, see the instructions provided in the JS-NET web site.

(1) Download all the relevant files from the JS-NET and decompress it. (2) The file termed "bootup1.blx" will accordingly be created. Copy this file in a root directory of the CD-R. (3) Set the track setting to [MODE2 XA] for writing the software, and select [JOLIET] as an exchangeable file name. Be sure to write

the disk in [Disk at once] mode.

5.4.7.2 Booting using the Disk

The following explanation is made assuming the system operation is being unable with [LOADING] repeatedly displayed.

(1) Disconnect the AC plug and then connect it again. Immediately after this, press and hold the DVD ON/OFF button until the tray

comes out. (2) Put the booting disk on the tray and close the tray. (3) Disconnect the AC plug. Press and hold the STOP button and connect the AC plug. (4) Keep the button pressed for 20 seconds and release the button (Timing must be precise). (5) [LOADING] will be displayed repeatedly for a while and the system will be brought to the standby state. (6) Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to remove the booting disk. (7) Turn the system on and confirm that the operation is normal. If so, the system should be properly booted from the CD-R.

5.4.7.3 Updating the firmware after booting with the CD

By updating the firmware using the CD, the built-in firmware in the HDD will be overwritten, allowing the firmware to be renovated. The system may be resumed to a normal state using this method. Be sure to download the latest version of the update firmware when you attempt to create and use the firmware. For the updating procedures, refer to 5.6.

File Structure Of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called AtitlesB. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called AchaptersB. 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 to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (A 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.

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. (A pg. 28)

● Regarding the contents recorded on discs

Some files may not be played back depending on the file types

and other factors.

the disc tray.

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

objects on it.

Discs without cartridges

Disc tray

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 ASide AB 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.

Page 37

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!

DISC INFORMATION

EN 9

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.

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

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

NOTES:

● ASUPERIMPOSEB must be set to AAUTOB. Otherwise the on-

screen displays will not appear. (A pg. 80)

● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the

broadcast might be received in monaural with better quality.

On-Screen Display

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 (ANICAMB or AMONOB) to be recorded on the disc. (A pg. 79)

NOTE:

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to AAudio Channel SelectionB (A pg. 28).

NOTES:

● You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the

disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, the unit performs ARelief RecordingB (A pg. 51). 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 AB.E.S.T.B to AONB or AOFFB to your preference. (A 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. ABESTB appears and

blinks on the front display panel.

● ABESTB only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.

Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is still 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.

ATTEN TIO N:

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

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:

● Make sure to press VPS/PDCj after completing timer

programming procedure to activate the VPS/PDC recording function. The VPS/PDC recording indicator lights up on the front display panel when VPS/PDC recording function is activated. However, it will blink rapidly when VPS/PDCj is pressed under the following conditions:

● Clock is not set.

● Timer programming has not been set.

● Disc is not loaded.

● HDD is full.

● 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.

● When timer recording via VPS/PDC recording is in progress, it is

not possible to switch between the HDD and DVD deck, and the following menus cannot be displayed:

● Main Menu

● Library Database Navigation Menu

● Editing Menu

● If the unit is powered on when set to record a timer programme

onto HDD/DVD using VPS/PDC, the PDC information will not be used. The programme will be recorded using the start and stop times originally programmed.
